Doh! Fixed it to be #74
Tiburon is so feature rich that Marco needs a whole book to describe them all.
I just opened up my old Websnap components project in Tiburon and compiled it. It compiled just fine, and spun out about a dozen warnings. All had to do with sets of characters. I used the [...]
Delphi’s Anonymous Methods gets a nice mention in programming.reddit.com. Feel free to bump that article up! And don’t hesitate to read the interesting comments from our compiler engineer, Barry Kelly. (And by the way, the picture on Barry’s Blog needs updating — he’s far more hirsute now. )

Last week I attended the 2008 Software Industry Conference. SIC is the conference for shareware developers and other Independent Software Vendors. David I attended last year, and this year I went. We go because there are lots of Delphi developers there, and because lots of Delphi developers are ISVs. We want to support our customers [...]

begin
Exit(’Negative’);

if aInteger < 0 then
begin
Result := ‘Negative’;
Exit;

If you are a "non-Unicode Kind of Person" like I was just a few short months ago, one of the things that you’ll likely want to do if you want to get into the full features of Tiburon is get your system ready to handle the variety of non-Arabic alphabet fonts that are out there. [...]
I haven’t blogged in a while — yikes! I see now that it’s been over a month. It is definitely time for a post!
One of the reasons that I’ve been away is that things are starting to pick up with our next release, code-named Tiburon.
Probably the biggest feature — and the one that you’ve [...]
