Delphi developers who are also Python developers [Edit]
I'm interested in knowing how many Delphi developers here also have expert level skills in Python/Django web-framework and use the same in production / at work? How long did it take you to get started and then up and running? What were the best resources that helped in learning learn Python/Django? What are the difficult topics to master? I'm applying for a job here in Nigeria that requires Python/Django, but have only PHP (and some Zend framework) skills. I'm wondering how quickly I will be able to pick up Python and then get up and running with Django. -- Steve Faleiro Edited by: Steve Faleiro on Oct 29, 2013 12:28 PM

I've recently done some work on a Django app( zero to production in
a few weeks, but I'm *still* trying to understand this code); but
then again I've been doing some Python code over the years.
Learning Python isn't difficult (Note: I am still learning it). Just
make sure you understand that it's both case-sensitive *and* indents
are important, especially when writing functions.
Learning Django, on the other hand, is difficult(at least to me.
YMMV.) As I mentioned, I've put up a django app up in a few
weeks(Disclaimer: the code was already in production. I was
just on point to move it to a different server and to
migrate the db and customize it to the environment.)
Python : Learning Python, 5th Edition (By Mark Lutz)
O'Reilly

Django : www.djangoproject.com
: need to set up a system to fiddle with django
: go through the tutorial
If you don't have a Linux system, you can try Python and Django on
a Windows system.

Delphi for a VB.NET developer [Edit]
Hi EDN, I have been a VB.NET developer for about three years and have become very comfortable with it. But now I need to develop a small program that will run faster, natively, and without the need for .NET framework being installed. I chose Delphi because I am used to object oriented program and I have learned Dev Pascal a few years back in college. As I am refreshing my memory about the Object Pascal program structure I want to try and compare this to what I know about vb.net. Here are a few of my questions: 1. In Delphi you MUST create an interface before you can create a class. You c...

Widen the delphi developer demographic in wake of the release of Delphi X2.
I appreciate this question has been asked a million times, but there is an opportunity here for a massive resurrection of delphi mindshare with the release of XE2. What do you think emb's strategy should be? I understand that its not just a matter of pricing but pricing is a major factor if you just want to develop the skills to use the product in the commerical environment. Will cross-platform capabilities give delphi the cool factor? RealBasic is cross-platform but it doesn''t have a cool factor for me, I think because of the language.

Delphi Cross Platform Game Development [Edit]
A little survey Would anyone be interested in a cross platform (windows, mac, linux) game development toolkit with Delphi/FreePascal compiler compatibility?

Programs would be quite small and compact. They would also be stand alone binaries able to run with little to no dependencies. Possible program applications might include: Cross platform gam...
