Email from an agent about a permie Delphi role (with opportunity to retrain in .NET) in Somerset. Let's call that a miss, shall we?

The last time I worked with Delphi was also the first time, for about two weeks in late 1996.

I did a bit of Delphi. Quite liked it at the time.

It was OK, I thought. It was a new job, and the first thing they had me do was write a small DLL in Delphi for some project or other. Then I started on a new project: a website for BT to sell ISDN lines. And I've been doing web development (the term hadn't even been coined then) ever since

I once got into a chat with a chap in the Bayshill Inn in Cheltenham, which ended with me persuading him that the thing he needed to make a UI for his code library was Delphi, not Visual Basic. Turned out it was a library of Fortran code for analysing low frequency radio signals. I hadn't realised that the Bayshill was where a load of GCHQ types hung out
