My friends David Millington and Roman Yankovsky have teamed up to offer a Christmas time special. You can buy both of their tools for the price of Fix Insight. What are those tools? Well, David’s tool is Navigator – a powerful, easy to use way to navigate your code. Roman’s tool is Fix Insight –…
My deal with Embarcadero has expired, so More Coding in Delphi is now available for sale in electronic form. That makes a total of four ways to buy my two books: You can buy More Coding in Delphi in paperback or electronic form You can still get Coding in Delphi in paperback or electronic form.…
I just got back from attending EKON 19 in Köln, Germany. I had a really good time and learned a lot. In fact, I learned the most in one of the sessions I gave – a three hour workshop on Dependency Injection. Stefan Glienke was there – he maintains and enhances the Spring Framework –…
I am doing two Embarcadero Partner Spotlights in the coming weeks. Both will be 15-20 minute videos about chapters in my book. The first will be on the Command Pattern, and the second will be on Aspect-oriented Programming. You can sign up here. There are some other good partner spotlights coming up as well, including…

David Millington of Parnassus Software – author of the great and free Bookmarks plugin — has released a new commercial IDE plugin called Navigator. Looks pretty sweet. The book is this close to being done. I just have to get it past the folks at CreateSpace. Actually, the writing and editing is all done, it’s…
Number 10 with a bullet! As you may have noticed on my LinkedIn Profile, I am once again an employee at Gateway Ticketing. This time around, I am a Senior Software Developer, meaning I am full-time Delphi Developer. I’m delighted to be back in the new beautiful building that Gateway has built. I’m also pleased…
A confession: I was given a free license to review FixInsight. A summation: I really like it. It’s in a category tool that I think most Delphi developers don’t take advantage of.
