You can now take The Delphi Survey in Catalan. If you haven’t taken the survey yet, check BDN, and choose from the other 11 languages. As always, the feedback we get from the survey is very, very valuable. Thanks for taking the time.

…is the word “yahoo”. Raymond Chen explains why. I confess this never occurred to me, but when I read it, I find that I am doing this more and more. I find bookmarks to often be more hassle than they are worth. For instance, I watch tons of DVD’s while I am away from my […]

I frequently see posts in the newsgroups say that folks believe that there aren’t any reasons to upgrade from Delphi 7 or that the “VCL hasn’t been updated in years”. I frequently spout off a list of enhancements off the top of my head, but of course I invariably leave some out. So for a while […]

Okay, there’s been some chatter on blogs and in the newsgroups that we here at CodeGear need to show that we are different from Borland and that we are going to do things a different way. Well, we did that today, in a big way I think. We announced a new version of JBuilder, JBuilder […]

I haven’t seen CodeGear mentioned on Slashdot. Could someone go here http://developers.slashdot.org/ and put in a story about it? I don’t want to be the one to do it. Thanks –

I find it ironic that a large complaint over the past few years has been that Borland didn’t pay enough attention to what is now CodeGear, but that now the complaint is that Borland is going to pay too much attention to CodeGear. ;-) Look, we are going to be left alone. I’m supremely […]

I’m not sure that I was totally clear about this: If you have been waiting for the divestiture before purchasing BDS or Turbo Pro, now is the time! Today is the day you’ve been waiting for! All the revenue from BDS and Turbo Pro now goes into the CodeGear coffers. There is no reason to wait […]

A commenter in my previous post said that he thought we were “completely owned and controlled by Borland". Well, that is not true. We are completely owned by Borland. We are not completey controlled by Borland. We at CodeGear are running our own company. We are making our own decisions as of today. Borland is […]

Well, it’s official: I am a CodeGear employee, and not a Borland employee anymore. Borland has spun us out as a separate company. We are definitely our own company, though, and we will be making our own decisions and running things our way. I understand that many folks won’t see that right away, but […]

Here’s another cool tool from one of our Borland Technology Partners — TsiLang Components Suite. I know from the survey that a lot of you need to internationalize your applications, and that it isn’t alway easy. TsiLang components make it easy.

We won’t be doing a Delphi Hour this week or next week, as the Two Weeks of Delphi will take over and provide you with all the Delphi information you can handle. David I and the rest of the Developer Relations guys have a great lineup of stuff for you every day through next Friday. […]

Yes! Finally — I’m not the only one around here doing online demos! Steve Trefethen — who has a very nice new blog — has done a demo on some of the more in-depth features of Code Completion and Code Browsing. The coolest thing you might see there is the ability to use CodeCompletion to […]
