Not a Creature Was Stirring

22 Dec

Things are probably going to be pretty quiet around here until after the New Year.  The vast majority of CodeGear folks are going to be on vacation next week, so if blogs and the newsgroups are a bit quieter than normal, that is why.  Anyway, I wish you all a Merry Christmas and/or a […]

Delphi in Oslo

22 Dec

Ingvar Nilsen made a nice post about the Oslo Delphi Day that the Oslo Beer, er, sorry, Oslo Delphi Club recently held in, well, Oslo.  Looks like they had a pretty fun time.  If you have a user group meeting that you’d like mentioned here, please let me know. If you have pictures from an event you […]

Delphi: The Choice for ISVs

21 Dec

It’s never been a better time to be a software ISV.  The internet makes marketing and distributing a product to a global market incredibly easy.  Advertising, selling, delivering product, marketing, and supporting customers can all be done from the privacy of your own home.   One decision, though, remains difficult:  what development tool and language […]

Five Things You Didn’t Know About Me

20 Dec

Okay, strictly speaking, you are supposed to get “tagged” to do this, but I hardly ever pass up a chance to talk about how fascinating a person I am, that I decided to jump in and follow this meme that Nick Bradbury jumped in on: Five Things You Didn’t Know Abot Me: I have piloted […]

An Addition to the RTL

17 Dec

We are, as you can no doubt understand, very protective of and careful with the Delphi RTL.  Changes and additions to the RTL are carefully considered, as alterations to such low level code can have ramifications far and wide throughout the product and throughout your applications as well. But of course, moving forward in the RTL […]

Why We Use the .Net Framework for Our IDE

14 Dec

A couple of years ago, we released a product called C#Builder. It was the first release using our new IDE framework called Galileo.  Since then we’ve used Galileo to produce Delphi 8, BDS2005, and BDS2006.  Galileo was the first major overhaul of our Windows IDE since Delphi 1 was released.  It started out as a […]

Partner Spotlight: Gurock Software’s SmartInspect

I continue to be impressed by the stuff that our Technology Partners produce.  Lots of cool stuff.  The tool that I want to highlight in today’s Partner Spotlight is the logging tool SmartInspect from Gurock Software. SmartInspect allows you to add log statements to your code and monitor and analyze your application with the SmartInspect Console. […]

Apparent Bad Info in a French Article

02 Dec

Apparently this article in a French technical magazine has caused a bit of a stir.  I can’t read French but I am told that it says that we are going to move Delphi to be a plugin to Visual Studio.  Okay, I’ll be clear.  This is not true.  We have no such plans.  We […]

Support the Litte Guy

01 Dec

I followed up on Jeff Atwood’s admonition. I mentioned on The Delphi Hour last Wednesday that I use MediaMonkey to manage all my online music — and that I really liked it.  I also mentioned that I hadn’t registered it.  An lo and behold, Jeff Atwood admonishes us to register that little nugget of a […]
