Architectural Question

As I have already mentioned I have to migrate a big legacy delphi system.
I could go with a NET server and use the legacy code via Hydra plugins or I could stay with a delphi system.
Clients will be NET, Delphi and Javascript.
Which way would rembbject suggest.
pro Net would be that there are a lot more programmers leaving universitys and schools who have C# skills than delphi.
I ve also read that the net server ist more stable than the delphi tools.
Will remobjects bring any feature to delphi the next years ?

Hi.

Are you asking about RemObjects SDK or DataAbstract?
What new features you want to get in Delphi in near future?

Both… as I want also use Remobjects Services…
I wont use firemonke pe in delphi but I have a lot of vcl forms (hosted in a dll and exported via ocx to our erp) which I cant build all new the next 2 years.
The rich client apps which are separat exe Id like to move to sencha and all the logic to the middletier.

Hi.
Using .Net and Hydra is a bit more complex method of consuming old Delphi code.
But .Net is more perspective platform. Also .Net version has more rich functionality, especial for DataAbstract.

But it is no problem to consume a NET server in a Delphi Client ?

no; nor any other way. We have a .NET server (bug tracker) we use ourselves that is accessed from:

  • .NET
  • Javascript
  • Delphi
  • ObjC

using RO/DA.

Thanks… i think then I will buy Net too :wink:
