MultitrackStudio Windows Developers Use FireMonkey to Make the Music Software Available on Mac OS X - http://www.embarcadero.com/home/multitrackstudio-uses-firemonkey-to-create-application-on-mac-os-x

MultitrackStudio (http://www.multitrackstudio.com/) from Bremmers Audio Design is a multitrack music recording software which supports recording, editing and mixing audio and MIDI tracks. With the growth of Mac worldwide, MultitrackStudio developers felt the urgency of making their application available on Mac OS X.  The Delphi XE2 RTL (run time library functions and procedures) provided them with cross platform versions of most common functions and they could program against any C or Cocoa framework. After writing some Mac specific code including Core Audio and Audio Units, they had a running version on Mac.  "FireMonkey source code is very easy to understand because it doesn’t have OS-specific code," says Giel Bremmers, Founder. "This allowed us to customize the features as appropriate for our application. We could easily edit the FireMonkey styles and found FireMonkey very easy and powerful to work with."

Porter Lee Creates Mac OS X and iPad Apps Using FireMonkey - http://www.embarcadero.com/home/porter-lee-uses-delphi-xe2-and-firemonkey-for-the-leading-police-evidence-management-system-in-the-united-states

Porter Lee uses Visual Studio with Delphi XE2 and FireMonkey to deliver BEAST (http://www.porterlee.com/), the leading police evidence management system in the United States.  “We were really impressed with all the technology and capabilities that Delphi XE2 and FireMonkey have to offer,” says Murugan Ramalingame, Porter Lee Lead Developer.  “We have save a lot of time in the past with Delphi’s fast prototyping capability and the ability to move from prototype to production quickly,” Ramalingame says. “Now with support for Mac OS X and ability to create iPad apps and RAD Cloud technology we can be more competitive than ever and grow our business much faster.”

Anders has written an EDN technical article, "Visualizing mathematical functions by generating custom meshes using FireMonkey", which describes how he built the original Windows and Mac version using Delphi and FireMonkey (http://edn.embarcadero.com/article/42007).  Anders also wrote an article about the C++Builder and FireMonkey version at http://edn.embarcadero.com/article/42114.

From Anders’ blog post:  "MathViz 1.0 is powered by TExpressionParser - a flexible and fast expression parser for logical and mathematical functions by Egbert van Nes, with contributions by John Bultena and Ralf Junker. Thanks for Egbert van Nes’ explicit permission to use it in a paid app."

MathViz for iOS version 1.0 costs $0.99.  "Before you ask why it’s $0.99 and not free - I wanted to see if I could get a FireMonkey paid app approved, and I’m very happy to say that I could. And anyone can, of course!"

Integrating FireMonkey Into Your Existing VCL, C# and C++ Applications by Stephen Ball

In this paper, you’ll see what is required to create a shared library with FireMonkey in RAD Studio that can be used across multiple platforms, specifically with Windows and Mac OS X. The white paper looks at using the new library in Delphi FireMonkey and VCL applications and also with C#.

The paper covers using the shared library for containing business logic that is shared across applications using examples. The first will be a simple library with no visual elements. The second will use FireMonkey forms within the library and illustrate the differences this causes due to GDI+. Finally, we also look at what is required to call the second example from a C# application.

The techniques used in this paper are relevant and applicable for developers using C++Builder to write visual (using FireMonkey) and non-visual code.

Each week the lessons will start at

• Delphi language version at 10:00AM PDT / 1:00PM EDT / 17:00 GMT
• C++ language version at 11:00AM PDT / 2:00PM EDT / 18:00 GMT
