“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…
Are you on Update Subscription for RAD Studio? You are? Great. Wise move. You aren’t? Why not? We are very interested in you being on Update Subscription — so much so that you pretty much have to be when you upgrade. We do this because Update Subscription is really great for you, and not bad…
Late last year I had the honor of speaking with Cary Jensen at the Delphi Developer Days events. 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…

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…
I put up a poll on Google Plus asking what the greatest all time Delphi freeware/open source plugin/framework was. Thought you might like to vote. Work continues apace as we continue to prepare for Delphi Developer Days. I’m happy to say that there will be six folks attending in Baltimore from my employer, Gateway Ticketing. …
Delphius and Basicus were walking down a path. Delphius was a wise software developer with many years of experience. Basicus, Delphius’ student, had some experience as well, but lacked wisdom and often made foolish errors. As the two were walking, they came upon a wall blocking the path. The wall was made of stone and…
