I’ve been in this job a while, a pretty good way over a year. I’ve learned a lot, and have a lot to learn still. I’ve been a long time developer and community member. I’ve been through two rigorous product development cycles, and thus have a little bit of street cred around here. Or at [...]
We’ll be getting the Delphi Hour back on track this week with a broadcast at our usual time and place.
That is, 2:00pm PDT on Thursday, November 1, 2007. You can sign up in advance if you want.
The guest this week will be the inestimable Marco Cantu. Marco will talk about his book, his experience with [...]

Advanced File Transfers with HTTP and FTP
Presented by Jim McKeeth
Ever transfer a file via HTTP or FTP? That is easy with Delphi and Indy, but what if you want to resume a broken download, only download part of the file, or [...]
My next stop was in Japan, and boy was it busy. I did four press interviews, a meeting with Japanese community members, two presentations, and live Delphi Hour, all in two days.
The main event was the Developer Camp. It was a one day seminar for CodeGear customers, this time with a focus on [...]
Next stop is Seoul, Korea. The trip up from Sydney was interesting. Ten hours almost due north — I only moved over one time zone to the east. I’ve never flown in a plane that long without doing some serious time-shifting and resulting jet lag. It’s also weird to get on a plane and fly [...]
I haven’t gushed about a Jeff Atwood post in a while, so I’m due. I’m making up for it by posting two articles here that he’s recently written. In those, Jeff talks about feature bloat, why it happens, and how it can damage software products. Interesting stuff, and something that we can all relate to [...]
Okay, I’m back from my Asia trip.
Sergey Antonov has a cool new blog with some interesting code implementing the Yield idea from C#.
Great news — Marco Cantu is going to put his book, Essential Pascal, up on Lulu.com. Looks like Marco is going to keep the price low, too, to make it more accessible to [...]
Well, I’m in Asia. My first stop was Australia. I feel like I’m in a pro basketball team — three cities in three nights so far. Monday night it was Melbourne, Tuesday Brisbane, and Wednesday night in Sydney. All three nights involved giving a rundown on what is up with RAD [...]
Practically everyone here uses QualityCentral every day. QC is vital to the success of our products, but QC requires excellent community participation to be fully useful. Pursuant to that, David Dean has out a call for QC Sysops. (As an aside, David Dean is a truly outstanding addition to the CodeGear team, [...]
This is Part I of the ASP.NET demo that I did while over in Europe at EKON and SDC. It demos the basics of using Delphi, ASP.NET 2.0, Blackfish, and the DBXProvider to do web development, including logging in users and restricting content to be visible only to logged in users.

I’ll try to finish up [...]

I did a generics demo on the Delphi 45 Minutes last week, and I uploaded the code here on CodeCentral.
John Moshakis has a nice blog post on using MSBuild and debugging Blackfish stored procedures.
I spent twelve years in the military, and for some reason, the folks in the military — particularly the Air Force — [...]
Well, my long-awaited return to Australia will be happening! My initial trip to Perth in 1989 was fun, but mandated by the US Navy. This time, however, I get to talk about what I really love: Delphi!
I’ll be in Melbourne, Brisbane, and Sydney on 15, 16, and 17 October respectively. I’d love to meet all [...]
This seems like a pretty cool collection of libraries and code for .Net — Utilities.NET 1.0. Of course, you can access all of this in Delphi for .Net. Includes full source code, including the unit tests. I think it’s getting to the point where not including a full unit test suite with your library code [...]
We’ll have a Delphi Hour today at 2:00pm PDT, though I have to leave a bit early to go to the doctor, so it will be more like "The Delphi 45 Minutes".
Information on the event can be found here:
http://borland.interwise.com/borland/iClass/BA7812/default.asp
I’ll show some Generics stuff and take your questions.

Dr. Bob has created a lulu.com community for Delphi developers. Part of that, of course, is the list of books about Delphi available on lulu.com. So far, the books listed are just Dr. Bob’s stuff and [...]
