If a project has a good project plan then there will be deveopment goals are
being met. If the functionality is completed by the allowed time, or better
still before that time, then this is a good measure. If targets are not
being met, this is also a good indicator...from a negative angle. i.e. the
coder is either too slow or their code is having to be rewored because its
wrong or buggy.
I use CodeSite which does record how much time has been spent in total on a
source file, but the stats are pretty minimal.

Well obviously the quality and simplicity and brevity of code and its
saleability are all important.....I am just wondering if how productivity is
measured by others. One way is how a programmers output fulfills a specific
implementation request...but that is only relevant to one firm and one
project.
What I am wondering is what are more general measures useful for
Delphi/Windows projects?
In the stuff in D2006 are there any code statistics tools?

Not only that, exactly how much of the code is written by the IDE?? i.e.
put a button on a form. Dbl click on it to open the onclick event, and go
showmessage('abc'); This will generate what, 1 line fo code for the
declaration of the control, 1 line for the procedure declaration, then 4
lines for the actual procedure
wrapper including the begin and end; so that's 6 lines of code, and you
only actually wrote.....ONE so IMHO, lines of code written in a RAD
enviroment means squat.

Seeing as not one of those lines of code could be worth money... no.
Also. What you do in 1000 lines of code, could be done by another in 50.
And vice versa.
If x = 5 then
Result := true else
Result := false;
Or
Result := x =5;
Which is more efficient? Which is more productive? Lines of code tell you
nothing except that you will always refactor it down to a better set of code
As you become a better programmer.

How do others measure programmers productivity?
In my first year seriously doing Delphi (learning Delphi and programming
around 1/4 of my working days) I have written around 25,000 lines of .PAS
files in about 15 programs - are there any standard measures of
productivity?
