Random Thoughts on the Passing Scene #25

13 Mar

Chris Hesik lied in his CodeRage Talk.  Sort of.  Brandon has some kind words for us. Apparently one can indeed be addicted to Delphi. Programmers up in the Pacific Northwest aren’t all from Microsoft. Whe you order Delphi 2007, consider ordering the “ESD“ version — this is the version that allows you to immediately [...]
