Ok, here I am putting in a shameless plug for a friend of mine. He wrote a time clock or time sheet program for windows. You can find it here.
Alright, I’m not just putting it here as a shameless plug. I think it is pretty cool. He spent a lot of time and effort developing it in his free time. What I find so remarkable about it is that he wrote it using pascal. I thought it was an interesting choice. I don’t know anything about pascal, to speak of. I didn’t even have a class on it at school. I’m not at all remotely interested in it as a language. Granted that Delphi is still supposed to be pretty popular. There are sites devoted to it. But this friend of mine hasn’t had to do pascal programming at work for years.
If I had a lot of viewers, I’d probably get flamed for being so marvelled by the use of pascal. But I guess it’s just a change in the wind, all programming languages tend to get phased out. It’s sink or swim in this world. I’ll likely have to learn some languages that I had never dreamed of some day.
