Jeff Atwood comments this week on it, talking about how "The Internet has rendered programming books obsolete." Lately, there has been a resurgence of Delphi books, lead by Marco Cantu and others, but these guys are not using traditional book publishing […]

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 […]

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 […]

Bruce McGee is a nice, level-headed guy. He’s always interesting to read in delphi.non-technical, and I always appreciate his clear-thinking posts. Over the years, Bruce has given us tons of hard-hitting but constructive criticism.
Lately, he’s been, like me, a proponent of Software Assurance. Bruce is a subscriber (thanks, Bruce!) and it really works for him. […]

It runs either on Java or on the .Net platform, and allows you to write […]

Some of you may remember this post — Since Delphi 7 — where I outlined many of the features that have been added to Delphi since Delphi 7 was shipped. It’s a pretty impressive list.
One of the common comments was “what the heck is ?” So, because that was a common question, I’ve prepared […]
