JBuilder and Eclipse make a great team.

While there is a lot of focus on the Delphi for Win32 and Delphi for PHP the Java team at CodeGear has been making some big moves as well.  We just won some accolades on the new JBuilder product which was built by a great team here at CodeGear working with Eclipse.   A […]

Busy days

I have had a busy couple of days, so I have not been doing enough communicating via the blog.  Of course, part of being busy was a great event for the CodeGear Scotts Valley team Thursday afternoon and taking my son to see 300…so I should not be complaining.  I missed the performance of CodeGear […]

A lot of

We spent a good bit of time working through issues this weekend.  As I mentioned at a meeting with the CodeGear team this morning, we have had a lot of “firsts” recently.  This ranges from the first time we have simultaneously shipped so many different languages on Delphi to our first foray into the PHP […]

We shipped some product

We shipped some product, in spite of a winter in Scotts Valley that is feeling way too much like summer.   CodeRage was a great success.  Tod came on at the end right before me and as usual showed his commitment to the CodeGear team and developers.    We are really excited about Delphi for Win […]

Being Naive Matters

I was up in the city last night where a number of interesting people, like the founder of Craig’s List, were discussing things.   I won’t get into the overall topic but one thing came up from an interesting speech by an older man (he declared himself the oldest in the room) when talking about taking risks, […]

Experiments

As we discussed one of our more successful new innovations this morning, CodeRage, I described it as an experiment that worked.  It really worked and with great feedback.  We talked about innovation being about experiments and once they work going for it.  Not exactly something all of corporate America is in love with and for […]

Staying out of the way.

I got an interesting comment on my blog about the weekend.  When I started this blogging thing at CodeGear, I never expected to get someone comparing my last minute hardly edited stuff to McArthur.    For good or bad I share a few attributes to the bull headed General.  Actually, definitely a few of the bad […]

It was quite a weekend.

It was far from raining in Scotts Valley.  In fact it was probably the definition of why this is such an incredible place to live.  It must have been murder for all the guys who were cranking away getting ready for CodeRage and getting product out.   I stayed away from the office on Sunday […]

My Sunday blog post

PHP is looking great.   As we continue to work on the feedback from PHP, we are getting more excited about the potential the combination of CodeGear development innovation, the Delphi RAD and VCL approach and PHP will have on developers.   This is going to be a lot of fun.  As I sat with […]

Getting products out

As we are working towards getting a lot of great products out, things are getting hot, fun, intense, etc.  I was reminded about this post on release cycles from a company that I follow.  After a pretty intense session on working out some of the little issues, one of the real long time heroes of […]
