[DUG] D2006

[Richard Vowles]

There isn't just a Delphi 2006 trial, but I do have it on DVD in case
anyone wants me to burn a copy for them.
 
If you are sticking with Delphi, you should look at ECO. It is far
superior to what is available in .NET, even in .NET 2.0, far more
productive and is a _key_ cornerstone of BDS's competitive advantage
going forward. And it is in the Pro version - more bits in each version
as you go up.

its not a case of need, but from what I have seen, 2.0 certainly looks a
bit better/easier to use.
The one example I would use is working with databases. in 1.1 you have
to go thru the whole bind and the other thing I forget now, to read data
from a db. in 2.0 its just connect and access. Same process, just more
intuative I thought...but thats only me of course.
 
I have just downloaded (overnight) the BDS2006 trial. I could not find a
trial of just D2006 on its own. once again, this might have been me not
seeing it. IF not, I wonder if the 500mb+ trial download puts people
off. It sure made me think twice.
 
So if there IS just a D2006 trial download, can someone let me know
where it is?
 
Thanks, Jeremy

Why do you need .NET 2.0?
 
Apart from generics, everything else is available elsewhere AFAIK.
