The Startup Success Podcast
In our 13th show, I interview Delphi Product Manager Nick Hodges on the future of the Delphi programming framework, how its new corporate owners are treating it and get answers to listener questions about Delphi.
I offer a startup tip: How 2009 is going to be the year you (yes you!) create video as easily as you email customers, Pat’s tip this week is don’t forget about Visual C++ for native code applications and Pat has two good email tools for startups using Windows.

Hi Guys
Love the concept, but I have real trouble getting a FULL episode. When I am downloading it, it is extremely slow (4KB/s). Get some decent hosting please.
Also, a visible rss/atom feed link somewhere would be nice (not all of us want to have the pile of crud that is iTunes installed).
Keeps the shows coming
Regards
Scott
Hi Bob. Good interview. Bummer you guys threw in a Visual C++ advertisement right after the interview, though!
Pat’s tip was less an advertisement and more a tip to windows developers who may have tuned in to hear Nick.
Bob is correct that I wanted to make sure existing .NET developers who happen to already know C++ don’t forget that they have access to a tool that does native code as part of the msdn subscription they already have. It was kind of a personal reminder – sometimes I forget that C++ is still a viable option.
That said, J.D. makes a valid point – it was somewhat obnoxious. I tried to make up for it by mentioning a Delphi app in the tool that followed, but that’s still pushing it. In the future I will avoid highlighting a Microsoft product that clearly competes with the product a guest just talked about unless I’m discussing it with the guest. To do otherwise is a bit rude.
That reasoning informed my thinking for the interview with the Adobe evangelist – I’m not going to pitch Silverlight on that show (instead I asked the Adobe evangelist to give his thoughts on Silverlight).
Point taken.
