Here’s a guest blog post by Jim McKeeth, Embarcadero MVP and US Director of GDK Software. To celebrate the recent π day 2024 with a Delphi flavor I revisited the previous sample I made with Rudy’s Big Numbers library adding the functionality to view the digits of π in real time as they are being generated. Previously it would generate any number of digits you wanted, but you could only…
Here’s a guest blog post by Jim McKeeth, Embarcadero MVP and US Director of GDK Software Why run Turbo Pascal on Android? Because we can!
As part of the Turbo Pascal 40th birthday celebration (combined with Delphi’s 29th birthday) I did a short demo of…
There were a lot of great entries for our Enterprise Software Development Article Challenge showing the use of Delphi, C++Builder, InterBase and RAD Server in many different enterprise use cases.

When I was very young and first learned about Pi they told me 3.14 was a good approximation, but it was an irrational number that went on forever, and people with computers were able to calculate many digits. I had a computer (Commodore Vic 20) and wanted to see how many digits of Pi I could calculate. This is when I discovered floating point number precision limitations, which foiled my first…
Update: I revisited the calculation of Pi with even more digits.
In the United States today, March 14th is π day (3rd month, 14th day, or 3/14). Traditions involve eating pie, the pastry, and calculating Pi, the irrational mathematical constant.

The official PAServer, RAD Server, and InterBase Docker images are all updated to work with 11.2. The 10.x images used Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS (Bionic Beaver) while the updated 11.3 images use Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish). You can find the images on Docker Hub, or the individual Dockerfiles and build instructions are on GitHub.

I created a Bash script a while back for setting up Ubuntu for Delphi development, and update it for each new release. The script automatically installs all the required packages, along with PAServer. I recently updated it again due to an LLDB debugging issue.
