Thirty Camtasia Demos in Thirty Days

15 Aug

A couple of things to note:  These generally should be watched in order.  Some of them can stand alone, but as a general rule, they build on each other. 
#1 - Intro to the IDE - ZIP
#2 - Hello World - ZIP
#3 - Basic Application Development - ZIP
#4 - Language Introduction - ZIP
#5 - More Lanugage Intro - [...]

Thirty Camtasia Demos in Thirty Days

14 Aug

Okay, I’m taking up the challenge.  I’m going to do 30 Camtasia demos in the next 30 days, starting tomorrow.  I’ll be starting almost from scratch, creating demos for brand spanking new Delphi developers.  I’ll get them posted on http://www.turboexplorer.com, so they’ll be there for new users to check out.  I think the hardest part [...]

All Turbo All the Time

09 Aug

The venerable Jeff Duntemann has weighed in on the Turbo stuff. Jeff Duntemann may be the originator of the Blog.  He is probably my favorite tech writer of all time.  If I recall correctly, he wrote the first Borland manual on object oriented programming in the Turbo Pascal 5.5 timeframe.  He a really interesting guy [...]

Turbos on Slashdot

08 Aug

Feel free to jump into the fray of script kiddes and gnu-dudes.  http://developers.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/08/08/1852207 I must say, too, that the negativity and snide attitude there is rather stunning.  We have some work to do to differentiate ourselves from Borland.

Random Thoughts on the Passing Scene #14

04 Aug

Sun sent out an email to JBuilder users enticing them over to NetBeans. I’m not sure how enticing it is, and I’m not sure how truthful the message is.  Here’s one view of the affair.  Pretty nice takedown. Yahoo SPAM Count: 11375 (I have more than Marco :-p ) Here’s some good news — [...]

Random Thoughts on the Passing Scene #13

03 Aug

Gee, what camp do you think I fall into?  ;-)  The "use the best tool for the job" argument never really satisfied me, because I never could figure out when, with rare exception, Delphi wasn’t the best tool for the job.  And of course, isn’t "best" utterly subjective? I mean, at least I admit I’m [...]

Random Thoughts on the Passing Scene #12

01 Aug

Eric Sink has made a grave error; he seems to think that "it is only a small exaggeration to say that there are just two IDEs left:  Visual Studio and Eclipse." He later in the post admits it really is an exaggeration, but we can’t let him get away with that, now can we?  [...]
