A Lover of Delphic Wisdom
Hey, we have a hotfix available for RAD Studio. It can be found on Code Central. It focuses on some issues in the tool chain. Given that it’s a hotfix, it only replaces a few choice files and doesn’t require an uninstall/reinstall process. Thanks to everyone who filled out the RAD Studio survey. We had…
Delphius and Basicus were both working on problems. Delphius was trying to fix his roof, and Basicus was trying to repair his front door. Both found their problem difficult. Delphius was unable to come up with a good solution for his problem. After a brief time of contemplating, he decided to ask his neighbor Pascala…
“Shipping is a feature” is one of my favorite sayings. In fact, I’d argue that shipping is the most important feature, because without it, you don’t get any other features. But shipping is a lot of work – as this past week proved. On Wednesday, we shipped RAD Studio 10.2 Tokyo, and we got it…
Delphi for Linux is soon to be here. We’ve unleashed the Beta Bloggers, so keep an eye out for more information coming from any number of sources. Thanks to all of you who have bought my new book, Dependency Injection in Delphi. I’m grateful for all the support. My wife is working on the cover…

It was a great opportunity to meet some new folks, folks I’ve known online for years, and to present some useful information about Delphi. One of the presentations we gave was entitled “Delphi Tips, Tricks, and Techniques”.…
I can’t seem to find a WordPress theme that I like. Look for the theme to change a bunch while I play around with different ones. I’ve started a new blog over on the Embarcadero Community site. It will be for more “official” stuff that I post about. You can follow me there as well…
I’m digging the new job. Lots of interesting things going on. Lots of great plans. Now, you may not realize it, but I’m the Director of Product Management for all the Embarcadero products, including a very cool product named RAD Server. Many of you may have heard of RAD Server, but aren’t exactly sure what…
The Starter Version of Delphi is currently 100% off. I.e. Free as in beer. “The proper use of comments is to compensate for our failure to express ourselves in code.” – Uncle Bob Martin I continue working hard on my materials for Delphi Developer Days. If you haven’t signed up yet, do it. I’m really…
Delphius and Basicus were on a long journey, requiring several days travel. They stopped for the night at a campsite beside the trail. It had obviously been used as a campsite previously, as there were many signs of previous inhabitants. Delphius and Basicus made camp and slept comfortably, for their journey was long and they…
