There aren't that many links here. I don't know whether I will ever extend
this list.
The case against C
by P.J. Moylan
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering,

N.S.W. 2308, Australia
This is a very well written article which all C (and C++) enthusiasts
should read. Also those Delphi programmers who have to listen to all
that crap that their C++ using friends and collegues usually use instead
of real arguments when it comes to selecting a programming language should
read this.
My favorite quote:
The conciseness of C code is also a popular feature. C programmers seem to
feel that being able to write a statement like
**p++^=q++=*r---s
is a major argument in favour of using C, since it saves keystrokes. A cynic
might suggest that the saving will be offset by the need for additional comments,
but a glance at some typical C programs will show that comments are also
considered to be a waste of keystrokes, even among so-called professional
programmers.
Delphi 5 vs Visual C++ 6
by John M. Jacobson
This is a rather fair comparison between Delphi 5 and Visual C++ 6,
which reflects my own view quite nicely. But I like Delphi better anyway. ;-)
Webmake is a template system for
generating static HTML pages with a common look and feel. If you have been
wondering how I am maintaining these pages, Webmake is the answer.
AFT means almost free
text and is a program which generates HTML (and other formats) from almost
free text. The almost means that you need to add some very minimal
formatting to the text. I have used it to write my Delphi articles and
the FlI4L HOWTOs.
