In the next day or two, all of you Delphi 2007 owners out there (or at least the ones that have the IDE check for updates on startup) are going to be notified that there is an update for Delphi 2007 for Win32. The update will take a while, but it should be worth it. […]
Okay, we will not be daunted: We’ll chat in the Delphi Room at http://chat.codegear.com and the stream can be heard at: mms://video.codegear.com/stream1 and we’ll try to get started at 2:15

We’ll have slides and demos and […]
Here’s a little look at the Form Positioner in the VCL Designer. How many of you knew you could size that little thing?

Commentor Bryan raises a good point in the comments of the Theming article below: If you are using the XPMan unit in your existing applications, you don’t need to anymore with Delphi 2007. Instead, remove the XPMan unit from your app entirely, and simply check the theming option in the Project […]
Check out how easy it is to add theming support to your VCL applications. One note: By default, new applications will be themed. Existing applications will not be themed unless you actively select the option for the project in the IDE.

Regular readers of this blog know that I have a hard time not commenting on just about everything Jeff Atwood blogs about on his Coding Horror blog. I have that blog in a folder called “Must Read Feeds” in FeedDemon, and I jump when I see he’s posted a new entry. Usually it’s something terribly […]
“With D2007, I haven’t had the faintest urge to fire up D7.”

As part of my job, I have to communicate with people all over the world. Naturally, I have to be able to know what time it is in those disparate places, and so I tool the recommendation of a co-worker and started using WorkTime from PawPrint. It’s interface is a little goofy, but it does […]

I’m having an interesting thing occur on my blog. Someone is manually entering comment spam into my blog. The post that is getting the most is the Thirty Camtasia in Thirty Days page, far and away the most viewed page on the site. (Two more just came in while I was typing). Now, if you […]
I’m going Camtasia crazy today…. I’ve decided to start a new series of demos called “Two Minute Tutorials”. These will be short (less than two minutes. Camtasia demos that show off stuff about Delphi that you might not have known about or that you should know about. The first one is on Incremental Search. […]
Inspired by Steve Trefethen’s excellent blog post, “How to Install Components in the Delphi IDE,” I created a simple demo of installing a component in the IDE.

Hey, this is pretty cool. Seems that China has put on an Open Source Software Contest, and a Delphi/C++Builder toolkit won a prize: “Liu Xiao of CnPack won the gold prize in the professional group for his CnPack IDE Wizards (CnWizards), a free plug-in toolset for Delphi/C++ Builder to improve development efficiency. Several Chinese programmers […]

Jeremy North is always doing something very cool. His latest offering? How to add items to the context menu in Delphi’s Project Manager. Our CEO, Jim Douglas, has a blog. (I see that Ben Smith is still blogging as well…..) I will be traveling to Chicago and Minneapolis on April 26th and 27th respectively […]
We haven’t done a Delphi Hour in a while. We had the release of Delphi 2007 which got in the way, then CodeRage, then CodeRage Redux, and now all the folks involved, including me, are going to be traveling a lot in the coming weeks, so we won’t have one this week, and I don’t […]
Anyone remember this list? Did you think I’d forget? Well, I’m quite happy to say that the results of the list are, well, nearly perfect.

The busiest people in the building right now are the marketing folks. Check out this schedule of events that they are working on — stuff happening almost ever day for the next few months. If you are anywhere near any of these events, sign on up and get on out there. Plenty of marketing going […]
Jeff Atwood has another great post as usual. This one on Software Licensing. Software licenses are a necessary evil, as Jeff points out. They are also a terrific pain in the ass. Changing them is hard. Jeff also linked to the WTFPL. I laughed out loud. The FAQ is particularly funny. If there is a better […]
The links below now should be fixed. Sorry for the confusion — the links I had were the “draft stage” and so they didn’t work for you guys. My bad.

Hey, we have a new logo! I was worried that I wasn’t going to like it, but I really do. I like the colors and I like how it looks like it is crammed in a box and trying to burst out. I’ve also seen mockups of the all the stuff for it — stationary, business cards, […]
Here’s what we need: a fight song! (Hat Tip to John Roth) Our VCL Guru Seppy Bloom is blogging. Subscribed. Drop buy and congratulate Seppy — he just became a brand new Dad! Another R&D guy who has a blog, hasn’t blogged in a while, but has been over the past few is our […]
Folks are getting their downloaded version of Delphi 2007. Sweet. It’s really satisfying to work on a product and see folks using it. One of the things we worked hard on was making Delphi 2007 and your applications produced with it work on Windows Vista. Now, Vista is a different sort of operating system. […]
Yep, it’s true. We signed off. At about 0430 this morning, after being up most of the night. We got people out of bed, fixed filename-casing problems, and tested all the various install options one last time. The DVD is on it’s way out to manufacturing all around the world, and the ISD ( a […]
Hey, this is awesome — Primoz put together a summary of all the BetaBlogger stuff. Read and enjoy, and let him or me know if we missed a post. We want to keep spreading the word.

Okay — so I’m reading Steve Trefethen’s blog, and he links to what, in my personal opinion, is the greatest single title for a technical blog post ever — The Windows Shutdown Crapfest. Doesn’t get any better than that. So I read the thing, and it’s, well, amazing. They have a whole team of […]
There are few guys more old school than Randy Magruder. The ex-Borlander still uses the Brief keystroke bindings. We found out this week during CodeRage that he actually uses TD32 keybindings as well. Randy may be old-school, but he’s a pretty big Delphi supporter. That strong support never stops him from speaking his mind […]
