Delphi is pretty cool. The low level power of C combined with the user friendliness of FoxPro or VB. I took one job where Delphi experience was required, with no Delphi experience. They knew me from the FoxPro user group and were the best software shop east of San Jose. I learned Delphi OTJ. Looking back, I should never have left.
