Starting to blog about my C# experiences

Regular visitors to my blog know that I have been working with Delphi for the last decade or so. The love between Delphi and I has grown, although my old love (just about everything that Microsoft did and does) never died out. At regular intervals I did some things with VB, C++, C#, ASP and ASP.Net.

For me, 2009 will be a year where I will say goodbye to Delphi (for new things that is) and will move to C# and .Net for all of our software. There is just too big a gap between development in the C#/.Net world and the Delphi world, despite the recent releases of Delphi 2009 and Prism. Of course, that's IMHO only, but in my company that's what counts.

So, I will be writing more and more about C# and not that much anymore about Delphi.

The first new product that we will do will be using the MS Surface unit, which will be installed in my office the first week of 2009. I can't wait to get going with that. I'll keep you posted (as far as I'm allowed by MS, because I'm bound to a pre release agreement for the MS Surface unit).

Bye,

Bart

Ps: From now on I will only tag postings that are about Delphi only with the Delphi tag. Other postings (not tagged Delphi) won't get picked up by delphifeeds.com, so if you want to stay in touch, please RSS subscribe or come back on a regular basis.

I want a Surface in my office too!

So you have a customer who wants you to write Surface software? You're on the bleeding edge of technology :-)

Welcome to the real world! Good luck with Surface.

"There is just too big a gap between development in the C#/.Net world and the Delphi world"

I would love to hear you elaborate on that point in detail.

Xepol, I think you need to understand .NET before you realize how big the gap is.

Anonymous -> "Understanding dotNet" is not really the point of my query. I am looking for opinion, not a product matrix or free programming lessons.

Xepol. You missed the point. Until you don't really see what's going on in the .NET world and how much things have advanced and truly appreciate everything in terms of frameworks, open source projects, 3rd party frameworks, architectural styles, etc. you'll not understand the big gap.
