Random Thoughts on the Passing Scene #63

28 Mar

I am going to be on the road next week.  I’ll be attending the COMMON Conference for AS400 developers, showing them all the cool stuff you can do with Delphi/400 and Delphi/400 for PHP.  Should be fun — it is being held in Nashville at the Gaylord Opryland Resort, which is where we had a […]

Random Thoughts on the Passing Scene #62

26 Mar

This Eric Lippert post really hits home for me.  It is always way more complicated to get something done than you first think. That was a big lesson of my first year here.  Starting here, I was as guilty as the next non-tech poster of saying "Why can’t they just do <some feature> over the […]

The Unicode Shift

24 Mar

We’ve been hard at work on our Unicode product called "Tiburon".  Things are going really, really well.
Internally, the process has been quite smooth.  The process went like this:

The first step was to get the compiler working.  First, we established a new type “UnicodeString” which works pretty much like AnsiString does.   It knows how […]

BTW, pursuant to the launch of the Delphi/400 products, I’ll be at the COMMON Conference in Nashville at the end of the month. Some of you old timers might remember the venue from Borcon a number of years ago. If by chance you are there, stop by our booth to say hello.
More Delphi/400 […]

Delphi/400 and Delphi/400 for PHP

10 Mar

Today we announced two new products: Delphi/400 and Delphi/400 for PHP. You can find out more about them on the product page.
I’m pretty excited about this new product. We’ve worked with SystemObjects in the past, but we decided to take the partnership a step further and create an actual product that includes connectivity […]

Elite Suite for Intraweb and VCL for the Web is now Open source

09 Mar

Gleaned this from the newsgroups:
We have an important announcement for customers of our Intraweb components and for the greater Delphi/Intraweb community:
Effective immediately, Arcana Technologies (www.arcanatech.com) has terminated sales of the Elite Suite for Intraweb and VCL for the Web and released […]

The Delphi Survey is now available in Polish.
Nice mention of Delphi and CodeGear here.  I like the sound of "A Compiler for Every Child", especially when it is the Delphi compiler. 
New Blog: Turbo for Noobs
Andreano reports that Delphi won Premios Software Guru (Software Guru awards) award for "Best Framework".  Those folks in Mexico […]

Random Thoughts on the Passing Scene #58

01 Mar

CodeGear made more money.
I’ve been going around the world telling people that we will be "continuously improving and frequently updating the help".  Well, pursuant to that, we have released another help update.  Please download it and give it a look.  And please be sure to tell all your friends about it.
The indefatigable Pawel Glowacki has […]
