[DUG] Traffic Builiding Question.

[James Sugrue]

1/ I used to be contractor but moved to employee - still keep my company
running and serve a few clients.

2/ I do both - mainly because I started with the RAD approach and still
support apps that use RAD. Most new stuff I use an n-tier approach using a
custom ORM I have written in c#. This approach may take a bit longer to
setup, but once it is, productivity soars. 

I think a fair percentage of this group has gone over to C#. I am a member
of .NET list and see a lot of names from the old days of DUG. 

To add to the traffic:

3/ How long have you been using Delphi?
4/ How long have you been on this list?
5/ Do you see yourself still using Delphi in 2 years?

To answer my own questions:
3/Since version 1 and before that turbo pascal.
4/Since 1999
5/ Probably not.

Q1: How many people out on the user group are contractors, and how many 
are employees.

I realise that many delphi people probably don't use the DUG, but I'm 
curious to get an idea of the size of Delphi population that is actually 
in circulation.

Q2: How many people use delphi in a non-visual/ non-rad way, ie VCL 
component developers, server implementers etc (as opposed to drag and 
drop development, BDE & Datasource type demo application stuff).  It 
seems that when looking for contractors etc, or contract jobs that the 
pickings are lean. Has everyone moved to .Net?

Now. lets see how much traffic this produces. :)
