I disagree. I develop (Mac) OS X and Windows software with Delphi FireMonkey. The Object Pascal language does not contain any curly braces and the Delphi Firemonkey GUI is very similar to Visual...
-
For the moment the exact name of the Mac operating system is just OS X but Apple said they are going to rename it macOS shortly.
-
You hit the nail on the head. I personally believe that this ambition should be pursued by all language teachers.
-
Thanks. I think you are perfectly right when you refer to the average English speaker. Nevertheless, very often students expect their English teacher to master all aspects of the language, including...

Hi,
Here's some info about the SCORM standard:
-
Yes, sometimes in my dreams I speak in English. This happens when I dream of meeting my work-colleagues or my students (in the classroom, we never speak in Italian). Even when I'm awake, I often...
-
Thanks, it's very kind of you. I would love to spend some time abroad, but right now my work commitments prevent me from taking this option into consideration.
I'm afraid learning by osmosis only...
-
Thanks. Anyway, getting rid of my foreign accent is also a question of self-esteem for me, as I am an English teacher. So, I think I'll have to roll up my sleeves and work hard on it.
-
Thanks, I'll take your advice and try to get rid of the -a ending. I'm sure I will have to do a lot of practice to achieve that result. Anyway, no matter how long it takes, I think that time will be...
-
Yes, I had figured that out by myself. Anyway, in this particular case, the reason for it is because I was given half an hour for a presentation that usually takes one hour in my native language. In...
-
Maybe you are right. Probably, the only reason why I should make an effort and try to get rid of my Italian accent is because I work in a language school and today's students usually attach a lot of...
-
Thanks for your advice. It's nice to hear from a mother-tongue speaker that there's a little bit of English in my accent. I'll try to get rid of the flaws you've pointed out.
-
Thanks, I appreciate that.
I agree with you: I badly need to work on my accent. My daughter is only 12 years old but her English accent is just brilliant. I should ask her what her secret is.

Hi,
First of all, this thread has not much to do with programming.
I'm a non-native English teacher and I work for an Italian military school, where I also develop Web-based learning units in...
-
I believe that desktop computers will never disappear, simply because they are ideal for office work. In the school I work for, we make large use of iPads in the classrooms, but when it comes to...
-
I agree. The only thing we should point out is, however, what we mean by "moving on". To me, today's developers cannot ignore the proliferation of operating systems on the market. So, moving on...
-
I couldn't agree more with you: I am under the impression that MS are trying to trick the user into believing that desktop apps and Store apps are the same thing. Unfortunately, desktop apps still...
-
Are you sure that native compiling regards classic desktop applications?
I have a feeling it only deals with Windows Store apps.
I have installed VS 2015 Express (for Desktop) and I have found...
-
But how can the form scroll if there is no space left? I mean, since all of the screen is occupied by the form (which has no scrollbars), how would it be possible to scroll it?
Thanks.
-
1280 x 800 looks good enough to me.
Question: if you have a form full of textboxes occupying most of the screen area of your Windows tablet, how can you fill in the boxes using the touch-screen...
-
Do you know the maximum screen resolution supported by HP Stream 7 Windows Tablets?
TIA
-
They are not open-sourcing .NET out of generosity. They are doing it for purely commercial reasons. They have no interest in giving away VB6 because their final target is to channel the developer...
-
After two months, still no statement about native compilation for desktop applications. MS's only interest seems to be in WinRT and the Windows Store. Nothing else. So, their promise was a joke....
-
If this is the case, then I'm not in the least interested.
-
I'm ready to learn VB.NET syntax if it allows me to compile natively. I don't want to resurrect anything, because I have already converted 90% of my old VB6 apps (VB5, actually!) to Delphi. This...
-
For the moment you can only use C# syntax in .NET Native, as far as I know. (Please correct me if I'm mistaken.)
This is taken from .NET Native's FAQ page:
-
So am I. I started hating Microsoft when they discontinued VB6. If they finalize this project and reintroduce native compilation making it compatible with VB syntax, I'm ready to forgive them.
-
Yes, for the moment it is only available for Windows Store Apps, but MS also stated that "Desktop apps are a very important part of our strategy. Initially, we are focusing on Windows Store apps with...
-
Hi,
I would like to ask you what you think about Microsoft .NET Native.
For the moment, VB is not supported, but MS said they will very likely include it in the future.
Do you know if there...
-
I think you are pathetic. You simply don't realize that VB6 belongs to the past and, since it was not upgraded for ages, now it's too late for Microsoft to come up with a new version. I firmly...
-
Personally, I don't care about VB6. I used to, but since I switched to Delphi, I have understood how limited it was. With Delphi, I can now develop applications for Windows, OSX, iOS and Android...

Microsoft's Nokia is about to release an Android phone later this month:
http://www.theverge.com/2014/2/10/5398322/nokia-x-normandy-android-phone-wsj-rumor
At this point, I wouldn't be...
-
Correct. I have upgraded (for free) my Windows 8 notebook to Windows 8.1 and I now I can boot directly to the desktop. Unfortunately, the start button you find in Win8.1 is a joke as it actually...
-
I think "real" is a vague concept open to personal interpretations. You are probably right when you say that Apple products fanboys make up the OSX user base, whereas iOS users are not necessarily...
-
I know many of them, instead, and there's nothing I can do to convince them that there's little difference between OSX and Windows.
-
I wouldn't be so sure. I think most Windows users would be more willing to buy and Android device rather than an iPad, and for obvious reasons. Here is an interesting article about those fanboys:
...
-
I agree with you, but those extremist fanboys do exist and cannot be ignored. And I'm afraid they represent the majority of iOS and OSX users.
-
I'm afraid you are missing the most important point here. I myself own an iPad, an iMac and in my family there are three Android tablets. I even develop and sell software for OSX. Nevertheless, I...
-
This is true if you install apps purchased from the store, but if you want to copy and paste a file whatsoever using your USB stick, just forget it. Android, on the contrary, is almost as flexible as...
-
I think you should not compare iOS users with Windows users: they are completely different beasts. What Windows users expect from Microsoft is that on their machines they must be able to install what...
