[DUG] Turbo Delphi

[Phil Middlemiss]

Yes, this is a very strategic area IMHO. Web based apps have the 
potential to be the panacea of cross platform development.
This has been visible in the additions to Delphi over time, but I'm sure 
there are many more areas to exploit in this area - such as something as 
easy and quick to use as ROR but more powerful, all inside the Delphi 
IDE. Although all the bits are there in Delphi to write powerful Web 
apps, there are still many opportunities for improvement to make 
developing killer web apps fast and easy.

Now if only the browsers would come to the party and consistently 
support CSS2 :(
