Have you ever written a component in Delphi? Reusable components are the corner-stone of rapid application development and important part of Delphi success on the market. Being able to manipulate an instance of a class at design-time is where Delphi shines!
One day I was looking at mocking up a FireMonkey turn-based board game. A screen [...]
FireMonkey is busy;-)
I’m just back from Belgium where I was presenting FireMonkey, Delphi and RAD Studio XE2 in Lier at the event organized by Embarcadero-Benelux and PeopleWare. PeopleWare work closely with Embarcadero providing Delphi expertise to customers in Belgium.
There are a lot discussions among developers which technologies to choose and to me it is becoming [...]
Go FireMonkey! That seems to be my motto recently. On the road again. Yesterday I was doing RAD Studio XE2 / Delphi XE2 / FireMonkey event in Hoofddorp in the Netherlands and it was big fun!
Today I was presenting in Prague and probably for the first in a regular cinema:-)
Everybody gets it! You only [...]
Yesterday I was playing with implementing "parallax" starfield simulation in a Delphi XE2 iOS HD project as documented here. To be honest at the beginning my plan was to implement a classic "deep space" starfield simulation, but could not find any code samples, so decided to go for a simpler "parallax" approach.
I have posted my [...]
There is nothing like writing demo projects. Whenever I see an interesting piece of code, does not really matter in which language, I’m thinking about moving it to Delphi. Delphi XE2 is all about cross-platform and mobile development, so "moving to Delphi" specifically means for me these days "moving to Delphi iOS mobile app".
Every framework [...]
I’m just sitting at the first day of Delphi Developer Days 2012 workshop organized by Cary Jensen and Marco Cantu in the city centre of Amsterdam. This is the second stop of the tour. Earlier this week DDD 2012 were delivered in London and next stops are Washington DC, Chicago, Frankfurt and Rome. Check out [...]
That was a really good week! RAD Studio XE2 is such an incredible release that I keep travelling and showing Delphi and FireMonkey to developers around Europe.
On Tuesday, I have been to Olomouc in Moravia in Czech Republic. There were close to 120 enthusiastic Delphi programmers gathered. Everybody liked the new FireMonkey architecture and possibilities [...]
I’m back from Warsaw where I have been presenting Delphi XE2 and FireMonkey to Polish developers. In fact it was the third event in Warsaw about Delphi and FireMonkey since the release of RAD Studio XE2 back in September 2011!
That’s amazing to watch happy faces of Delphi developers seeing all the great "visually stunning" [...]
Today is Valentine’s Day. For Delphi programmers and supporters this is the Delphi Birthday. Delphi just turned 17. I’m wondering how the next one is going to look like;-)
I had a pleasure and the privilege to present live during the "Delphi Birthday Webinar" event just a moment ago and promised online to publish the source [...]
It is a really long day today:-) I’m now still listening to "24 Hours of Delphi" online webinar hosted by David I and Anders Ohlsson from Developer Relations, and it is almost midnight now. Very good stuff!
I have promised during my session to upload "FireMonkey End-to-End Scenarios" demos. Both demos and slides are now available [...]
