Since mentioning that I used Highlander to build IHateTheCapsLockKey.com, I’ve had some interesting comments in two areas: “I hate the colors. This site looks dreadful.“ - I am always amused by the “I hate the colors“ argument. I suppose there are few things more objective than what colors people like. Every color scheme in […]
I’ve been a long hater of the CapsLock key. I finally decided to something about it. http://www.ihatethecapslockkey.com I built the website with Highlander — and it was pathetically easy to do using MasterPages. The page is currently pure design (i.e. all HTML and CSS), but I’ll be updating it to use BlackFish SQL — the […]

Have you been over to CodeGearGuru.com yet? Alister Christie has put together — and keeps adding to — a nice collection of tutorial videos on various topics about Delphi development. The mission statement of his site is: “Confer as much of my programming knowledge as I can and support the Delphi community.” Can’t argue with […]
Today’s Delphi Hour is at 2:00, 19 July 2007. Our guest will be Cary Jensen, and he’ll be talking about his experiences with WinForms. I don’t think he’ll be praising it. You can get all the information about joining us at: http://borland.interwise.com/borland/iClass/QC1883/default.asp

We are making some changes to both the offerings and method of sale for Software Assurance. Since the beginning of the year, we’ve been telling you folks that there is only one kind of Software Assurance — Studio-level SA. Customers with Studio-level SA receive all upgrades and new features for all members of the Studio family: Delphi […]
As you’ve hopefully noticed, we’ve recently published and then updated our Delphi/C++Builder Roadmap. We hope it is useful to you and that you are able to see where we are headed and what we consider important going forward. However, careful readers of the roadmap will notice not only what is on the roadmap, but also […]

A small number of customers are experiencing a “Runtime 1580 Error” when trying to install Delphi 2007 and C++Builder 2007. The error reads: "Runtime error in setup script: Line 1580: General setup failure" The solution is fairly simple: run the SETUP.EXE file in and empty directory, away from any other CodeGear licensing files. See this […]

If you are interested, you can contact Brandi Bergstrom bbergstrom@wideorbit.com. Brandi tells me that they could go for a relocation, but that they can’t sponsor an H-1B visa. Delphi […]
I’m actually getting a bit squared away with The Delphi Hour. This week, the Delphi Hour will be at the usual time, 2:00pm on Thursday, July 12, 2007. We’ll use Interwise again to broadcast the show. You all can chat amongst yourselves at http://chat.codegear.com in the Delphi Room. This week, our guest will be […]
Last Friday, I posted about a Delphi Wiki article that I started, having been prompted by Richard Grossman in the newsgroups. I’m happy to say that in a few short days, the article — The Business Case for Delphi — has had a pretty good start. Already it is being organized and fleshed out by […]
I published this article this morning on CDN — CodeGear and CapableObjects Collaborate to Take ECO into the Future. It talks about the changes going on with the ECO team — changes that will be good for Delphi and good for ECO. The ECO team has formed a new business called CapableObjects. They have […]
Two ways to contribute to the Delphi Community. We are doing something a little different this time around with the Highlander field test. Chris Pattinson has the details. One of the features that we are doing in Highlander is a database-neutral ASP.NET Provider, and we are running a contest to see who can build […]
Our Documentation Manager Dee Elling and the whole Documentation team have been really busy. A while back, a bunch of folks on the newsgroups asked that we post an HTML version of the help. I did that, but the results were less than optimal. However, Dee noticed that it had a ton of downloads, and took up […]
This Thursday, June 28, 2007, at 2:00pm we’ll have Nick Bradbury as our guest on the Delphi Hour. Nick is a Delphi developer and the author of FeedDemon, TopStyle, and Homesite — all very success applications. This event will be held on Interwise — you can sign up ahead of time and get things […]
I’ve just published an update to the Delphi Roadmap. We said the roadmap would be a living document, and so it is. I think you’ll like the changes. Just as no battle plan ever survives contact with the enemy, it seems that no roadmap survives contact with interested customers. ;-) Based on some feedback from […]
We’ll have a Delphi Hour tomorrow, Thursday, June 21, 2007 at 2:00pm PST. We’ll do it a little differently — we’ll have it on Interwise. Here’s the link – http://borland.interwise.com/borland/iClass/BD4055/default.asp That page should have all the information you need to get hooked up to Interwise.

I usually post about Delphi, Software Development, etc. on my blog, but today, here’s something a little different. Opera. I don’t know where I first got this link, but somehow I was sent to it on YouTube. The blog post said you had to listen to it, even if you didn’t like opera. It’s the […]
Wow, this sounds like a sweet opportunity — Nick Bradbury is looking for someone to take over work on TopStyle for him. I think that would be a sweet gig. He’ll even entertain remote opportunities. Very cool.

Some users of Update 1 for Delphi 2007 have been running into a peculiar problem with running even the simplest of VCL apps — the debugger seems to step in, stopping on a non-existent breakpoint in your DPR project file. Hey, even I ran into it. It was very weird. However, there is a […]
Okay, this one is a little longer than two minutes — Building an AJAX Application with VCL for the Web

Phew! Got it in by the Close of Business. This is still early June, right? The Delphi and C++Builder roadmap is now public. Remember, this is a roadmap, and is subject to changes for any number of reasons. We aren’t making any promises here, merely laying out our areas of interest and focus that […]

As noted below, Delphi 2007 for Win32 Update #1 is available. If your IDE is set to check for updates automatically, then you should be given the choice to download and install the update automatically. A number of folks were concerned that the Delphi 2007 installer didn’t allow them to backup the install media for […]
Delphi 2007 for Win32 Update #1 is now available. Delphi developers all over the world should be getting notified about it via the Automatic Update method. If you don’t have the IDE checking automatically for you, you can use the menu item on the Start menu for checking. Some items to note: The install will actually […]
