Well done. Interesting that you couldn't get a job coding in Delphi after you won the competition. I remember back around the same time, here in Australia there used to be quite a few Delphi related jobs around. Perhaps it was different in Europe.

Did you consider writing a stand alone app in Delphi that you could package and sell?

Well I just studied the local newspaper and looked for development jobs, but there were only C/C++ or Java jobs. When looking for jobs across Austria it was almost the same: no Delphi/Pascal in sight.

I had no app idea back then, that would have been great... Now I know better, I currently code in Swift and have a few app ideas :-)
