Another happy Firebird and Python user and programmer

For more than a year I’m employed by a company called Smantics Kommunikationsmanagement GmbH as a Python developer. The company offers multiple services related to communcation and its management in our modern world. Most of the time I’m working on the server part of a software stack called Visual Library.

The heart of the Visual Library software stack is a Python driven web application server. It’s built on top of CherryPy framework and driven by a Firebird database. The server utilizes a cornucopia of open source third party packages as well as commercial and proprietary software. The most noticable Python packages are lxml for XML and XSL(T), reportlab for PDF creation, Cython for optimization / library bindings and PyLucene for full text search.

Here is the tutorial

Firebird is supported by PHP, and Delphi for PHP can support it, but it can’t out of the box.

In this first post, I’d put a foreword to clarify situation.

Populating a DataGridView From a Database Query

Over the years I have made sporadic attempts the wrap my head around programming using the .Net class library. I have used Delphi for over 10 years so maybe I am biased, but it seems as though many of the things that can be done with a couple of mouse clicks in Delphi require a lot more work to accomplish using .Net.
