I've tried picking up Free Pascal and, for me, the documentation is lacking. I come from C# where Microsoft has amazing documentation and small examples on how to use just about every single class in the .NET framework. I guess I'

From what I've read Object Pascal is just another name for Delphi but without the trademark hassle.

THere is a crippled version of Delphi that is free but limit is only targeting 32 Bit Windows. That may be enough for some but not if you wanted to do cross platform (which is what Emberacardo is providing now).

Oh wow. I didn't realize that they charged for your book too. I'm working on a new book and I think I may take it elsewhere.

I'm waiting for the day that anti-psychotics and some SSRIs don't cause extreme fatigue. I have ended up using my drugs as spot therapy rather than continuous. It isn't necessarily safe but at least I can somewhat function du

I just checked the privacy policy and while I'm not a lawyer I would imagine that the following one of the following two clauses would protect them: "We will share information with third parties who perform services on our behalf.

If you're in the US then it can vary by state. I used LegalZoom to form an LLC and it was ~$800 to start. Illinois charges me about $300 each year to keep my standing and I just use H&R Block software to do my taxes as I don't

I had a Windows Phone 7 and loved it but ended up not being able to afford the monthly payments at the time that was required for having a smart phone. I didn't have much of an app issue but that was because I didn't have the phon

I wish I had seen that (or if I had seen it before just remembered that) a few months ago. I work on an internal project that is core to part of our business and we are on our 3rd iteration of our platform in less than a year. An when I say

Just a guess but it could have something to do with the perceived language. PHP is something that is perceived to be easy to pick up and easy to work with. If you can't do something with it that becomes a language issue because you are

RAD Studio or Visual Studio on Windows (depending if Delphi or C#) and Visual Studio Code (and sometimes Lazarus when doing Free Pascal) on Linux.

Interesting. I would love to get that as well as a dreamcast and saturn controller to play the games as they were intended.

That doesn't seem to fit with what OP wants, being able to deploy to Windows, macOS and Linux. According to Xamarin's website[1] Xamarin.Forms is: "Xamarin.Forms is a cross-platform UI toolkit that allows developers to easily

I know it is cheap now but I just can't justify keeping it around (and I know my wife would hate it). I would love to get all the old Sega consoles such as Sega CD, Saturn and Dreamcast.

I absolutely loved Virtua Fighter and Virtua Racing. I want to get a Sega Saturn just for those two games (but can't actually justify the cost).

Thanks for your help. I'll take a look at Cantu's book.

Depends on the company I guess. The standard at my office is pizza because it is cheap.

I've found his stuff while searching for resources but it is Delphi focused. Is that a big issue? I know there are VCL items that are not in the LCL but other than that is there a big difference? If I could use Delphi resources then it

It would definitely make it easier to dispute when you made payments but the collection company/company says that you haven't. Checking the blockchain would prove one party correct rather than he said, she said.

I imagine that one could do well if you break into a niche that isn't really represented in other platforms. If you could make an indie VOD you may be able to get content cheaper and then you can market to those who like indie films.

It would have to be a different sort of reputation though. Otherwise you get people with very little knowledge that have similar amount of reputation as somebody like Jon Skeet. Also, I feel like that would make rise to more very niche issu

I bought my current laptop from Overstock.com. It worked out because they sent me a better model than what was listed. It is a Haswell quad-core i7 with AMD Bonaire, a 17.3" screen and a 750 GB hard drive (not SSD). I paid about $400 f

Technically, no. Since the minute you take money for work you are no longer amateur but a professional. In reality, yes it is possible. Unfortunately you'll most likely be stuck with low paying crappy gigs until you build up experience
