CodeGear and Delphi on the Road in Europe + Blogs Tags on Delphi 2007 for Win32
So, I got tagged first by Pawel Glowacki (Benelux, Spain and Itlay) in our CodeGear European Evangelist Team to get my next blog entry up. Especially as we have been very busy getting around to around 30 locations in the EMEA region over these weeks with news of Delphi 2007 for Win32 and Delphi for PHP. The guys in the team have been doing really well getting their blogs going…like Fredrik (Delphi Lead), Matthias (Germany). It was great to have David over the other week and here are a couple of event shots from Stockholm and Amsterdam…

So from my /other/ tag this week, from Michael Swindell, about 5 things that I like about Delphi 2007, so not wanting to choose all of the obvious ones…
#1 A small, but very cool new feature, embedded documentation comments. I created a Live Template for these. It’s great. Screen shot example below…
#2 The new flexible build system. /So/ many large Delphi sites have been asking for this since the C++ guys got pre and post build events in BDS 2006 
#3 DBX 4 is very exciting and is going to greatly simplify and streamline the whole database access story, well done to Steve Shaughnessy and his guys.
#4 New dockable File Explorer. This has saved loads of time already. ok, I know that this is another small feature, but one that seems to resonate well with the community.
#5 Here’s my "cop out" fifth one, rather than going for something more obvious….The fact that there are so many new things in there that we are going to have to get back on the road in April/May/June to keep talking with the developers of Europe and show them the rest ! It has really been fun being out and about showing developers D2007 for Win32 and the Delphi for PHP. So the CodeGear Europe Evangelist Team are up for lots more of this!
So, for a bit of fun…to pass the tag on, Which 5 favourite things do you have in Delphi 2007 for Win32?…I am going to tag…
Pawel Glowacki (tag you back on this one)
…blog your own five reasons, then pass it on to five guys of your own….

<summary> tags? Interesting!
I realize that this post is about delphi for win32, but does this mean that the next Delphi.NET compiler will be able to generate XML files in the same format as the C# compiler? Then we could use NDOC or Sandcastle to document delphi.NET assemblies, which would be great!

Ok, CodeGear had a look at Visual Studio and took the <summary></summary> Feature from there.
Great! Sometimes its good to copy code from Microsoft.
