Win32 Programming

Win32 has been around for ages - since Windows 95 if I’m correct. I used to program in Delphi heaps and really enjoyed it. I’ve had a hankering to get back into Win32 programming and so I hunted around on the ‘net today and found WinBinder. WinBinder is an extension for PHP that allows it to interact with the Windows GUI. Check out the examples. The main thing I like about this is that since I use PHP pretty much exclusively nowadays I can get back into Win32 programming without a) having to download any warez and b) without having to re-learn Delphi or pick up Visual C++ (or similar).

Still not quite sure where I want to go development-wise - I’ve started to see great potential in using localised PHP (i.e., not running on a webserver) for application development. Bring it on!
