I am here in Amsterdam Netherlands for our Delphi meet up at the Novotel Hotel. CodeGear evangelist Pawel Glowacki and I are giving technical presentations. Pawel is currently talking about VCL for the Web and dbExpress 4 architectures for Web 2.0 and Database programming.
Before the start of the seminar, I received a copy of issue #2 of the Blaise Pascal magazine. The magazine is available in printed and download editions. You can learn about all things Pascal and Delphi from the top authors including Bob Swart, Marco Cantu, Julian Bucknall, Hallvard Vassbotn, and Jeremy North (just to name a few). While there is a good amount of information about Delphi programming in our product and on our developer network, I hear from developers that you need more. Blaise Pascal Magazine gives you additional technical and how to articles of use to all Delphi and Pascal programmers. Check it out!
Also here in the Netherlands is the Software Development Network. SDN covers CodeGear products in their conferences, website, and SDN magazine. This October (6 and 7), SDN will have their annual Software Developer Conference 2008. Nick Hodges, Delphi product manager, will be in attendence giving technical sessions along with additional CodeGear and community presenters.
In Germany (where I was last Saturday) there is also Entwickler (Developer) Magazine that covers technical topics for CodeGear products. Entwickler also runs the annual EKON and European DevCon conference. This year the EKON 12 conference is October 27-31.

And yet, still nothing "live" in the US? Has CodeGear given up on the US market?
David, I was there this morning, but had to leave quickly afterwards, so I couldn’t ask you this personally: From your talk regarding the future of CodeGear together with Embarcadero, I really had the impression that a lot of focus will be put on integration. Integration of database tools, modeling tools, multiple platforms etc.
Lately I have come to appreciate the unix philosophy of "doing one thing well" and provide good interoperability rather than integration.
Would you share your views on that in terms of development effort by CodeGear ?
Magazine has some interesting articles, but they are missing 1 vital bit of info : The subscription period. For 20$ a year, it is well worth it, but 20$ an issue would be over priced considering how available most of the info is on the internet in many forms. I might have to drop them an email and confirm its a year.
There’s another "german" magazine which is covering ObjectPascal and and a lot of other "pure" programming themes (since 1986!): "Toolbox"
