Here’s a chart showing the results of the poll I took on what TurboPower projects are of interest to you. (You can certainly still take the poll if you want, but the trends are pretty clear by now…)
Seems that a lot more of you than I would have guessed are using AsyncPro. I was also [...]
Nice writeup about Delphi 2010 in Dr. Dobbs. Money quote: “And even with all the views activated, the IDE response remained lightning fast throughout my hours of testing it for this review.” (Thanks to Marco for the tweet pointing me to this article….)
Alex Ciobanu works in our Iasi, Romania office as a document writer, and [...]

Novice users will find a familiar interface complete with tutorial and detailed help, while more experienced users can take advantage of full Explorer integration, multiple encryption methods and advanced compression algorithms.”

Thanks very much.

I’ve created a short, eleven minute video showing the basics of Aspect Oriented Programming with Delphi Prism. AOP is a really cool, powerful, and easy to use language feature of Delphi Prism.
You can read more about AOP and how it works on Wikipedia. You can read more about the specifics of Aspect Oriented Programming [...]
There have been a bunch of sneak peaks and blog posts and a lot of attention paid to some of the “flagship” features in Delphi 2010 like Gestures, DataSnap, Firebird connectivity, IDE Insight, the Code Formatter, and more. Cool stuff, to be sure (and you can find out more about all of these cool things [...]
Christine Ellis just posted this on our newsgroups:

It’s bringing you top industry speakers, technologists, and industry practitioners to present on [...]
Okay, I’m a big fan of the new tool palette – and I’ve said so pretty often. I find the new one very, very powerful and very, very easy to use, and I find it somewhat mysterious that some folks don’t prefer it. But many of you have disagreed, so now, back by popular demand, [...]
Discover for Delphi
Nice code coverage and analysis tool for Delphi projects, and of course it is built with Delphi.
Discover is an analysis tool that allows you to measure how thoroughly your programs have been tested.
Discover shows interactively and directly in the source code which basic-blocks (code sequences that always execute sequentially) have been executed at [...]
The new word around here is BOGO – or Buy On, Get One. Free that is. Right now, if you buy any Embarcadero product, you can get a different Embarcadero product of equal or lesser value for free. That’s right – Free. As in no additional money. As in register your purchased product, get the [...]
There have been some changes around here and as a result, I have a new job within Embarcadero. I am now an R&D Manager on the RAD Studio team, working more closely with the development team to ensure that we deliver a feature rich, stable, high-quality product. I’ll be writing feature specifications, managing the development [...]
I was cleaning up my hard drive and I found lying around in an old HTML file. The date on the file was from April of 2006, before I came to CodeGear. I can’t remember if I ever put this up on a blog somewhere, but I thought it was a pretty good rant, so [...]

I’m a huge fan of Pandora. If you haven’t discovered it yet, Pandora is a music streaming service that has a terrific knack for playing music that you like. You can create stations simply be telling them one of your favorite artists, and then they start playing music from that artist, and then music similar [...]

As many of you have noticed, our newsgroups have gone down pretty hard. We get them back up, they stay up for a while, and then they crash again. The machine and the software is showing it’s age.
Fortunately, John Kaster and his team had already been in the process of a completely new solution for [...]

In about a week, my old email address — nick.hodges@borland.com — will no longer work. So if that is the address you have for me, please use nick.hodges@codegear.com instead. Eventually I’ll have an Embarcadero email address, but the codegear.com address should continue to work for a long time to come.

I’ve blogged about this before — the programming book industry continues to fascinate me. Jeff Atwood comments this week on it, talking about how "The Internet has rendered programming books obsolete." Lately, there has been a resurgence of Delphi books, lead by Marco Cantu and others, but these guys are not using traditional book publishing [...]
If you have your IDE set to check for updates, you should know by now that Help Update #3 is out — and this should be a good update. There should be loads of new content in the VCL section, and improvements throughout.
If you don’t have the IDE set to automatically check for updates, then [...]
FL Studio
"FL Studio is the most complete virtual studio currently available. It will play any sample file (wav), generator (softsynth), VSTi & DXi) or midi instrument you feed it."
I’m told that they get 5,000,000 downloads a year — pretty slick.
