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.

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 [...]

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 [...]

Chris Hesik lied in his CodeRage Talk.  Sort of.  Brandon has some kind words for us. Apparently one can indeed be addicted to Delphi. Programmers up in the Pacific Northwest aren’t all from Microsoft. Whe you order Delphi 2007, consider ordering the “ESD“ version — this is the version that allows you to immediately [...]

Here’s the splash screen for Delphi 2007.  It won’t look exactly like this in the product, as the IDE does some things to it at runtime, but you should get the basic idea. Some of you will like it, and some of you won’t.  Have at it.    Added:  Note what I [...]

Ben Smith, our intrepid CEO, has tagged me to name my five favorite things about Delphi 2007 for Win32. I’m a little late to this because we have been busy, well, releasing Delphi 2007.  Okay, five things: I love DBX4.  Steve Shaughnessy and his excellent team have done just a bang-up job [...]

I guess I’m not that nerdy.

No Delphi Hour this week.  There is simply too much going on around here.  Next week we’ll be doing CodeRage, so that will serve as the Delphi Hour - or Delphi Hours if you will.  This is mostly a Delphi blog, but I know that a lot of you do C++ as well.  If [...]

Lots of good beta-blogging still coming in: Cleggy likes the help Francois writes in French Jacob does some more Camtasias Marco likes the accessibilty of VCL for the Web JED looks at the glass John likes the new build engine Tim likes, well, most everything I find all this pretty cool.  Thanks to all [...]

More betablogging going on out there — keep it up! Hallvard has a really nice review of Delphi 2007.  Hallvard generally appears to me to know what he is talking about.  Jacob Thurman of Castalia fame has an ongoing series of Camtasias about his new release of Castalia.  He shows it off in Delphi 2007.  [...]
