… Sebastian, and I am the freshman at RemObjects. So please allow me a few lines to introduce myself.
I am a 30 years young software developer from germany (and you don’t know how glad I am to publish this post today and not tomorrow ;-). I got my first computer when I was eight years old and started programming in Basic when I was twelve. At the age of 14 I sold my first commercial application (written in GW-Basic) to a doctor and later in school I learned Delphi (it was version 2 then). After a short hanky-panky with Borland C++ back in the summer of ’96 I returned to Delphi and stayed there for some years until .NET came up. Since then I program desktop apps mostly with Delphi and web applications exclusively with .NET. My secret passion is everything that has to do with SciFi: I love cool series like Star Trek, Sliders, Stargate or Babylon 5 and, if I find some time for gaming, play EVE online.
Some of you (especially when you’re from Germany too) may already know me from my volunteering work as a moderator at the Delphi community Delphi-PRAXiS as well as the Delphi-Tage community events (the german Delphi-days). Maybe you have seen and heard some of my sessions at previous Basta! Spring and EKON conferences or you possibly could have read one of my articles in some magazine.
Before joining RemObjects I worked as a freelancer and helped my customers design and develop professional, reliable Delphi and .NET applications. Besides that I always liked to share my knowledge, so I wrote some articles for magazines and went to conferences to speak about all the cool the technology stuff I learned and worked as a trainer for Delphi and Delphi Prism. Learning new things is cool, and talking about cool new stuff even more so. ;-)
Since I had my first contact with the predecessor of Oxygene respectively Delphi Prism, I was impressed how the guys here at RemObjects are getting those things done so well. Now I can see and live that in our day to day work and I must say I’m even more impressed right now. My business here at RemObjects will be mainly boosting the developer relations and do some evangelism stuff. Actually, that means I want to
a) talk to you
b) even more important listen to you, and
c) care about your possible itches & whishes.
That is, of course, besides d) a little bit coding with our products, playing around, creating samples, showing off some cool new technology and telling you what I love about the work that is done here in the secret labs at RemObjects
If you have any questions, remarks, whishes, itches or just want to say hello – please feel free to email me here at RemObjects dot com, putting sebastiang right in front of the (at).
Yours Sincerly,
Welcome
Mike
Your first post suggests you were hired to exhibit your ego.
Just sayin’.
Your first comment suggests you’re here to troll.
Just sayin’.
Sebastian Best wishes and good luck on your new job, must be genial if you publish articles about Delphi Prism in depth .
Go Delphi-Prism Go.
I wish you good luck in your new career!
Do NOT leave the Delphi community!!!
Sebastian, good luck!
Craven, get a life!
@Craven Weasel I do NOT wish to start an argument but what you said was inappropriate.
When a new mate comes to your company and introduces him/herself, he/she does the same thing:
- Hi my name is X, I’m a X language developer, “this is my work history”.
Congrats, both to you and the RemObjects team!

I’m really interested in Delphi Prism, especially for Monodevelop on the Mac. It’s kinda hard to find anything about it on the net, so anything you publish will make a great impact. Looking forward to hearing about Prism….
Thank you all for your good whishes.
I’ll try to cover everything we have sooner or later. Your requests for general Prism information and more specifically the MD/Mac combination is noted, so that’ll be among the first things we’ll go for. :)
@Craven: In fact I was hired to exhibit the RemObjects products in the first place. But you’re somewhat right. Without a certain extrovert ego one is most likely not the right person for this kind of job. If this post is a litle bit self-centered then it’s only because it really is intended to give you some information about me. To tell you who I am and to give you an idea of the person behind the email address that you can talk to.
I promise that the following posts will focus on things that don’t have an ego at all. ;-)
Hey Sebastian, good luck with your new position! Certainly a cool company to work for. Will you be working out of South-Germany?
Best wishes and just ignore trolls :-)

Hi Olaf,
sorry for the late answer – and yes, my homebase is in the black forest.
Hi Sebastian,
Welcome and good luck!!

Great! I wish Oxygene had stayed in Remobject’s capable hands as a whole.
Embarcadero doesn’t really seem to be pushing it.
Welcome Sebastian!
Welcome Sebastian.
Minmatar, perhaps? ;-)
Sorry, no. It’s Gallente ;-)
