You are familiar with FreeAndNil(), but do you use it? How often? Are you using it right? As with most things in software development, it is a complicated topic. So let’s see what the experts have to say. We are going to debate the details in a friendly discussion with some of your favorite MVPs.
This blog post will include the replay, slides, and more after the webinar.
The Survey…
There is a fascinating conversation between Neo and the Oracle in The Matrix Reloaded movie. Neo asks the oracle that if she already knows, how can he make a choice? She cleverly replies because you have already made your choice. You only came to me to try to understand why?
Windows 11 marks a visual evolution of the Windows operating system. As Windows moves forward, customers set a higher bar for desktop applications and massive demand for Windows app development. These customer expectations can be:
Good performance on the low-cost…
It’s hard to ignore the huge success that Microsoft has had in encouraging users to adopt Windows. Even today with competition from Linux, macOS and even more esoteric device choices such as Chromebooks with their ChromeOS Microsoft Windows is the overwhelmingly dominant choice for both business and home users. Whatever platform you target as a developer, the goal is always the same…
The Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA) integrates native Android apps into the Windows 11 desktop. This post will teach you how to set up and configure the Windows Subsystem for Android for use in software development. It will be much easier for developers to replicate this…
How Are Delphi And Electron Licenses Alike And How Do They Differ?
February 27, 2022
Delphi and Electron licenses differ significantly. In fact, in some ways, they are diametrically opposed. The benchmarking study cited in this blog post and the entire series of which is the seventh post looks at the similarities and differences between the two platforms.
This blog post compares the Delphi and Electron frameworks based on Application Store Deployment, specifically whether the framework’s IDE makes it easy to deploy directly to native platform application stores by reducing deployment complexities and shortening time-to-market. This post is part of a whitepaper benchmarking the two frameworks.
The “Discovering The Best Cross-Platform…
I can say, with confidence, that desktop apps are not dead, in fact they are very much alive and thriving. Web apps are on the rise and it’s a common trope to say that web applications can replace windows app development. But they couldn’t do that. In some cases…
Native app development has substantial benefits over framework-based “one size fits all” comprises whether it’s for native windows development or mobile devices. It is simpler, less convoluted and circuitous to create, easier to run, and the user interface…
Delphi is one of the programming world’s legendary languages, a cornerstone of the history of software development. New languages have come to the fore as new platforms and frameworks have emerged, but Delphi has stood its ground as development trends came and went because of its reliability and efficacy as a development path.
What’s more, over time Delphi has not only not faded into the…
