About the Delphi programming language, tools, news and community
As a new podcast creator audio quality is a big deal to me. In this last podcast I tried a few things differently to get better audio quality. In my opinion it is a lot better, but the voice levels are uneven now – with me a lot quieter now. The odd thing is my [...]
This week is an interview with Craig Peterson, the Lead Developer on Scooter Software’s Beyond Compare, one of my favorite utilities. We discuss deveoping on the Linux platform with Kylix, adding Unicode Support pre-Delphi 2009, the new version of Beyond Compare and some tips for using it, plus a whole lot more.

A very short introduction to Generic Collections in Delphi 2009. Create a TList of Integers and show adding and removing items from it. Showing some of the differences in types, gotchas and errors you might get.
Generics, or parametrized types, are a type that works with another type that is defined later. Collections are a great [...]
New Poll for your voting pleasure. Please let me know your favorite podcast format of the ones I have provided so far. I plan on mixing it up with a couple different formats, but it would be nice to know the preferred format.
BTW, there is another screen cast coming . . . .

This is basically an experiment with the new Jing tool from TechSmith and creating a screen cast with Delphi 2009. Just so you know up front, there is no editing, so you are getting the raw screen cast (although I did a few takes) so it isn’t as polished as my usual podcast.

This episode is the first of what I hope to be a recurring feature where I get together with other bloggers and community members to discuss Delphi news. We talk about Delphi 2009, Stack Overflow and their OpenId Issues, why we use Delphi, and other current events.
There is a thread on Stack Overflow listing the hidden features of Delphi. Worth checking out. If you don’t see the features you know of then be sure to add them.
Additionally I added a side bar on the left that lists the 10 most recent Stack Overflow questions related to Delphi.
There is a new programming community site on the internet today. It has been in beta for a while, but today it is open to the public. The site is Stack Overflow and it is the brain child of Jeff Attwood and Joel Spolsky. If you are software developer who reads blogs then you have [...]
Back in episode 2 Nick Hodges told us to learn the latest features of .NET since the future version of Delphi for .NET will have full support of all .NET features. Instead of learning C# or VB.NET, we can use Oxygene by RemObjects. In this episode we talk with marc hoffman of RemObjects about Oxygene – the [...]
