[DUG] More Delphi news...

"No.. must not get started on this..doesn't do any good and no
one in Borland is listening."

I suppose you are right Phil, there's no point in saying stuff here on it.
If that is actually true then thinking out side Delphi will be th last
resort where many are headed.

Yet strangely I might yet get D2006, *especially if someone in Borland
bother to put me back on the mail out list!*

I feel the same about .net as others are saying . .  I keep developing in
Delphi wondering where it is heading  . . .  and wondering about some kind
of PHP with a really decent cross platform widget set for desktop apps.

Like a supped up Prado (based in part on Delphi thinking any way)

http://www.xisc.com/

PRADO is a component-based and event-driven framework for rapid Web
programming in PHP 5. PRADO reconceptualizes Web application development in
terms of components, events and properties instead of procedures, URLs and
query parameters.

A PRADO component is a combination of a specification file (in XML), an HTML
template and a PHP class. PRADO components are combined together to form
larger components or complete PRADO pages.

Developing PRADO Web applications mainly involves instantiating prebuilt and
application-specific component types, configuring them by setting their
properties, responding to their events by writing handler functions, and
composing them into application tasks.
