• .NET 2.0 for Delphi Programmers - by Jon Shemitz - .NET 2.0, from a Delphi point of view. .NET is a lot like Delphi. .NET has components, events, exceptions, interfaces, and objects that descend via single inheritance from a common ancestor. Delphi programmers will find .NET easier to learn than VB or MFC programmers will.
