RE: Make Your Own Website - Introduction
Nice post @ragepeanut! I've been developing on the web since the mid 90's. When I first started we were using Notepad writing Perl for the cgi bin. I don't really do much of that any more but instead jumped into Firemonkey (Embarcadero Rad Studio).
Thanks a lot ! It's reassuring seeing that someone like you who has been developing for that long liked my post. I have watched a few videos talking about Perl in the past but that's about it. I could not stand using a simple Notepad to write code, but I guess you didn't really have that many choices right ? Firemonkey is a total mystery to me, I will do some digging to learn a bit about it later this week as I like to watch videos explaining the purpose of each language (or in this case framework).
Shortly after there was a program called HotDog that I used for a few years (from Australia), then I switched to DreamWeaver. Firemonkey is a cross platform environment. I haven't updated Dreamweaver in years because they went to a subscription model and quite frankly the earlier versions were better. Been thinking about Embarcadero's HTML5, but never got into it enough to need it. Firemonkey's strength is in being able to write code once and compile for several different platforms (Windows, MacOS, Android, iOS). Superior graphics too compared to the Windows GDI.
