Programming Community Index for November 2008

Just for fun;

This morning i’ve received an message from the Delphi community to get the Delphi programming language at the top. To get a glance of the position of your preferred programming language please follow this link;

Last week i did some research about running threads from within delphi in a asynchronous way meaning a webservice call is made from the client, the webservice picks it up sending true or false back to the client indicating that the call has been made, processing the call and fires a OnDone event to the client containing the response.

Doing webservices this way allowes the client to continue working without waiting for the response. Within the .NET webservice techniques it is allready possible to execute webservices this way (SOAP version 1.2). The lastest delphi versions 2005+ allready support those features but Delphi 7 doesn’t.

I’m allready able to start a new trhead from within the call method and process a large amount of data using a cache system. The only bit i’m stuck with is to post back the OnDone event to the client.
