Random Thoughts on the Passing Scene #161
08 Jun
- One of the cool features of Delphi Prism 2011 is the built-right-into-the-language support for Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP). John Moshakis has a nice blog post giving an example of exactly the kind of things that Aspects can to do make your code cleaner and easier to maintain: providing a data and domain object validation aspect. And he demonstrates it in a Silverlight application and using MVC. All in Delphi Prism. Which you can buy right now. Cool. I tell you, it’s never been a better time to be doing Delphi Programming.
- By the way,I am now making it my personal mission to put the phrase “DelphI Programming” into every one of my blog posts.
- If you are really into Delphi Programming, and would like to gain some insight into your code, you might be interested in the special reduced price being run by the folks at Peganza for their Pascal Analyzer 5.
- Yea! More Delphi Code Golf!
If you want "Delphi Programming" to show up everywhere because that’s what Tiobe looks for, you could do what Jim McKeeth did and put the phrase in your blog’s basic template somewhere. Then it shows up on every page for free.

"By the way,I am now making it my personal mission to put the phrase "DelphI Programming" into every one of my blog posts."
AFAIK it is John Kaster that is in charge of the Embarcadero/CodeGear web site. He could put this marking on all relevant Delphi pages, e.g. in the pages of Delphi (2009) language guide:

June 8th, 2010 at 7:07 pmDelphi is climbing up in the TIOBE index and everybody that cares needs to have "Delphi Programming" as descriptions on blogs and any web sites, meta-data, data, … you name it:-)
June 9th, 2010 at 4:25 amMaybe we should tag our answers/questions at Stack Overflow with "Delphi Programming" too?
June 9th, 2010 at 5:13 amNick,
I am a bit confused about the Embarcadero Delphi June special
If you purchase Delphi Pro you get Rad Studio.
(Does this mean Rad Studio Pro with C++ or Rad Syudio Enterprise?)
If you buy Rad Studio Enterprise you get Rad Sudio Arch, this is pretty clear)
Could you clarify the Delphi Pro bonus?
June 9th, 2010 at 7:58 amRodrigo –
Yes, Delphi Prism 2011 Pro contains full ADO.NET support.
Larry –
If you buy Delphi Pro, you get RAD Studio Pro. That’s the deal as I understand it.

June 10th, 2010 at 12:39 amThanks for the links to moshines blog. Unfortunately, they show me something I find hard to read. See screenshot at: http://www.bjmsoftware.com/delphistuff/moshineblog.jpg
If you have a way to contact moshine, maybe you could ask what is happening with that?
Hi Nick, I’ve written a question on SO that I think will be a great community wiki:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3017743/delphi-component-you-cant-live-without
What is the Delphi component you can’t live without?

June 10th, 2010 at 11:49 amWarren: Are you surprised at all that Nick said "TSmiley"?
June 11th, 2010 at 12:40 pmStill a lot of "CodeGear" links on this page
