Borland Delphi
Mostly (still) version 5 but also later versions, including 2005, if necessary.
I'm not using Delphi 2005 for .NET work because I find (for the first time ever) Microsoft's Visual Studio
better and more reliable. Also, C# is a really nice language.
For Delphi development, I use a number of VCL libraries, e.g. Raize Components, TurboPower (unfortunately does
not exist as a company anymore, the code still works fine though), TeeChart, MADcollection, Plasmatech etc.
Microsoft's Visual Studio 2003
Used for development of .NET, ASP.NET and .NET/CF applications. I have
never been able to come to terms with C++ (too ugly) or Visual Basic (too loose), so I use C#.
Pocket PC
I started developing applications for the Pocket PC (Pocket PC 2002) using embedded Basic but
quickly switched to Visual Studio and .NET Compact Framework when that became available. I have
developed two (serious) Pocket PC applications:
Dialset
see http://mapro.skf.com.
Select Maintenance knowledge and then from the menu select Download
Pocket Profile
See http://www.rollprof.com, menu item 'Software'.
This is the 'baby' brother to the desktop version PC Profile. It has only a
limited amount of the capabilities of its bigger brother but it has one big advantage: it allows
the user to upload and view the measurement results from the Rollprof directly after measurement, in-situ.
And if the Pocket PC is connected to a network (through WiFi), the data can be automatically uploaded to a
desktop computer and, optionally, printed.
National Instruments LabWindows/CVI and LabView
Used at times when customers require it. This is
generally the case when the user wants an application he/she can later easily adapt, which is what
LabView (with its visual way of working) is perfectly suited for.
