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…
A few weeks ago we released RAD Studio and C++Builder 11.3, a quality release that’s been met with wide praise as the best of any recent version. This builds on several releases of 11.x, including our dedicated C++ quality release, 11.1.5. With that quality background, we…
Software testing is one of the pillars of the software development life cycle, or SDLC (Plan – Design – Implement – Test – Deploy – Maintain). The goal behind the SDLC is to help developers build software cost-efficiently and minimize the…

What is a ControlList?
The ControlList component was introduced to the VCL a few years back to…
If you want to deploy RAD Server on a Linux environment (on-premise or cloud-based) it is mandatory to deploy an instance of InterBase as well because it is the database used by RAD Server to store all its internal data.
This is quite straightforward in most cases, and you can even do it using Docker if you want, but what if you need to deploy RAD Server and your own InterBase instance on just…
