WideOrbit hiring a telecommuting developer!

Careful what you ask for! :)

We are now hiring a telecommuting developer. Must still reside and be able to work in the US. Must also be able to travel to an office (San Francisco, CA and Lynnwood, WA, etc) on occasion as needed for training, meetings, events, and such.

Please also realize that for obvious reasons any applicant that telecommutes will need to have excellent communication and collaboration skills, as well as be an excellent Delphi developer.

If this sounds like you - fire away - aohlsson@wideorbit.com - and I will get your resume to the right place ASAP.

Thanks, and best of luck,

Why is it so hard to find Delphi developers?

Delphi is fu^Hracking awesome! There's no question about that. Sure, it could always get better, but it says something that WideOrbit has a very successful application (or three) written in Delphi. Managing billions of dollars... OMG, did he just say the F-word? ;)

But why is it so hard to find Delphi developers in the US?

I know for a fact that there are lots of active Delphi developers in the US.

Are Delphi developers totally happy in their jobs? Well paid, not wanting to move. Settled down with the best job and tool around?

Are Delphi developers in general heads down in code all day and not on LinkedIn, FaceBook, Twitter? Some maybe, but far from all, and the ones that are won't respond to this post anyway... ;)

Or is there another reason? Am I spamming people too much with open Delphi reqs? :)

Do you have a Delphi project? What's your recruiting secret? (like you'll tell me) ;)

Thanks, and make it a great Delphi day,
Anders

Embarcadero Appmethod - New Multi-Device Development Platform - Coming Soon

Build Fast Apps Fast for Android, iOS, Windows and Mac

Appmethod is the complete app development platform for building fast apps fast for Android, iOS, Windows and OS X. With Appmethod’s object oriented languages, extensible component-based APIs, and visual development environment, developers can deliver cross-platform, multi-device apps 5x faster than with other tools.

"Appmethod will attract developers because it was engineered to allow a single code base to target all platforms. To build applications for a new platform, just recompile and redeploy." (rephrased from techcrunch.com)

Embarcadero will demo Appmethod at SXSW and then open it up to the public on March 18.
