Hi Steve,
>In the old days one would take learning into consideration. Today constant learning is a fact of life, and you'll do no more daily learning in Delphi than you do now in Fox. All the OO issues are still present, and the actual coding mechanics are rather easily assimilated in a short time.
I very much agree with you. If the roots are strong its a matter of learning syntax'es and some concepts bould to the language.
