My name is Spyros Athanasiadis and I am a Pascal/Delphi fanatic since Turbo
Pascal 5.0
After I was hired by a large greek company as a "system" guru, my task was
to migrate a huge vb6 project to C#. I was desperate. I had to do something
to prove that Delphi really rocks and that there is nothing that can not be
done with it (except drivers). So I made a bet with our CTO that in 2
months, every single developer in the company will be able to write in
Delphi or else I had to quit my job. I made some brainstormings with some of
my colleges and I came up with a quite simple idea ...
Lets print the Object Pascal Language reference (provided with Delphi 6.0
installation
package), make some nice booklets of it and do some sessions.
And voila! After 2 months and 10-15 sessions in groups using ONLY the PDF
printout, I won the bet !!!
Now 2 years later we are STILL a delphi-happy company
Hey Codegear guys, let's bring back the Object Pascal Language Guide in PDF
form back. You won't regret it.
