Hehe, those days of floppy disk drives =)

It was my University years, around 1999, when a friend introduced me to Delphi, a RAD tool by Borland. Delphi uses Pascal and I developed some small applications with it. Then, about ten years later, when I was working as a miller and the milling company needed a custom database application, I thought that Delphi would be a good tool to develop that kind of stuff. So I googled around and found that Delphi is still alive as a commercial product - and that there is Lazarus, which is a lot like Delphi, just that it is free and open source.

I have learned to like Lazarus when working with databases. With Tarupaja, I guess for me the actual challenge is writing the PHP for a browser-based UI. I suspect there are things I yet don't know how to do with PHP, so it is not only about routine coding - it is likely that I have to spend some time reading the online documentation to learn how to do things I need to do. Well, that's tomorrow, so we shall see how it goes =)
