After 15 great years I'm leaving About.com. I've started working as the Delphi Programming Guide in 1998 (days of Delphi 3) and have continued publishing tutorials and articles geared at beginner and advanced Delphi developers.
NO, I am not leaving Delphi.
In fact, I'm spending much more time in the Delphi (Rad Studio) IDE these days - and I am hoping you are in the same position - to have your working hours filled with joy of coding in the best development environment.
One huge "Thank YOU!" to all the known and unknown Delphi developers who have followed my work here and have send hundreds of emails supporting me for the past 15 years.
The About.com Delphi Programming web site will NOT be closed, all the content will be available in the future so nothing would be lost :) After all, I have found myself many times searching for a solution to a Delphi problem I have, to finally land on my own article written years ago :)
What's more, I think About.com might start looking for a new Delphi Programming Guide, so if you think you have the passion and the knowledge, feel free and invited to apply.
That's all folks. Over and Out.
p.s.
This is not my last (if it can be called like this) Delphi related blog post / article. I'll see to start a new blog in the near future and continue publishing Delphi programming related stuff. I am and will be using Delphi every day, there's always something to be implemented, some problem to be solved, some new feature to be included - any why not share the knowledge gained with others.

Im no professional delphi coder, i would describe me as ambitious amateur, but without you i would be lost!
I wish you all the best in your job and all can can do moreover is to say many thanks for your incredible work.

Žarko, thank you for the inspiration you have provided for many years. Best wishes in your future endeavours.
I learned proggraming from your blog, thanks for all your efforts.
Thank you so much for all the articles. I have found them very useful and wish you the best in all you are doing. Ahsante Sana!
One huge “Thank YOU!” back, Zarko. Your contribution lives on as the many search results pointing to about.com when googling for anything ‘delphi’.
There is a right time for everything. I hope this is your right time to move on.
I knew when I “googled” something Delphi and saw your articles coming back on the results I had a very good chance of finding the right answer there.
Thank you for all your work on instructive articles in the past years
All the luck!
Over the years, your site has helped me so much. My bookmark to delphi.about.com is dog-eared and ragged. Notwithstanding the much maligned keyword, I have no doubt it will be my “goto” site for many years. Thanks.
Thanks for all you have done for helping Delphi programmers with info and code examples. Thank you very much (from Denmark)
You did a fantastic job! I can’t count how many times I read your articles to help me with a solution. It is good to hear you will be starting a blog, because you are an important part of the Delphi community.
I wish you well and thank you for all your help through the years. I have been using delphi (actually started with TP4) since day one and have always found your articles to be just was I was looking for at the time.
Look forward to seeing anything new you publish. I wish I had a little more time and a better writer to take over because I do have the knowledge and the passion for Delphi!
Thanks again and good luck.
Žarko, you deserve a big big thank you! You’ve done a wonderful work on About.com all those years. I wish you the best for the future and I hope to see you on the other communities.

Thanks for all your articles. Over the years, they’ve been a great help many times.
For example, the way to color a TListView is so unclear that articles like the ones that you wrote are essential if you need to get it done the first time.
It’s sad to hear that you’ll stop writing here, but I’m happy that the articles stay online. I’ll be looking forward to a new blog somewhere else.
Thank you so much.
You made me a better programmer.
Thank´s. Muchas gracias y éxitos en las tareas que emprendas.
