Ajay is really what consultants are suppose to be. He brings real world options and cost effective solutions to real world problems.
Ajay, I had to slap myself from using Best Practices. What an over used and diluted term.
Ajay was an early adopter of Delphi and got me hooked. With a skeptical and managerial eye, I
wondered out loud. Borland's (not Imprise - nice name) not in great financial shape. Borland couldn't market it's products if it's life depended on it. Bill's VB has
huge huge market share. Besides Bill had hired Delphi's chief architect in 1997. This is all true of course. But I sounded like a wanna-be instead of forward thinking.
Delphi is TRULY Object-Oriented. After further investigation and cutting through all of the MS marketing hype, VB magazines, VB
programmers and supposedly unbiased industry experts, I found that VB isn't. Figure on that.
Ajay's rationale was simple. Once you learn Delphi, you will be head over heels over VB programmers when MS makes VB object-oriented. I can
buy that and I did. I paid my own way to the first ever Borland's Developers Conference in Canada.
He is also an entrepreneur with many ideas. Any venture capitalist out there ??? Unfortunately, I don't have the bucks.
I thank him for being that objective sounding board for my ideas during the last couple of years at Lavalife. You helped me keep my sanity. Any
company would be fortunate to have Ajay work for them, Unfortunately, he'll only work on a consulting basis.
Here is my challenge Ajay. Get that WEB site up.
