As you might remember, I’m helping building the Delphi curricula on the Embarcadero Academy web site. My focus so far has been on the Delphi language, while other tackle VCL and other areas, or other languages and tools. Last week I completed my set of classes on the Modern Delphi language (Interfaces, Generics, Anonymous Methods) with aclass on reflection and RTTI. You can buy each of…

December 15, 2017
RAD Studio has offered support for JSON in different ways and for a long time. From the JSON system unit (originally part of the DBX space) to the old DataSnap table mapping (also via DBX) and to FireDAC tables to JSON mapping, there are many ways to interact with JSON data structures. However, until the most recent release, we lacked a way to map a dataset to a custom JSON structure — the…

One of the directions of this effort (along side with styling, WinRT API, Desktop Bridge and more) is the addition of new VCL controls with the look of feel of the…

In the past I’ve used different ways to…
