About the Delphi programming language, tools, news and community
I went to install the latest JVCL today for Delphi 2009. I was surprised that JEDI stopped offering one download with both the JCL and JVCL. So I downloaded both, installing JCL first since it is required by JVCL. Well, JVCL gave me an error that I had the wrong version of the JCL installed.

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 [...]
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.

Don’t want to use the ESD to install? Nick posted that the ISO was available, but the link wasn’t immediately obvious as it pointed to the ESD. Just swap out .esd_trial.zip to .iso on the FTP or HTTP url and the ISO will download.

For some reason the FTP links fail on Chrome. Maybe Chrome doesn’t do [...]
It is official, Delphi 2009 has been released to manufacturing, and some lucky individuals are actually receiving downloads. I had a suspicion of this when I posted my podcast, but wanted to be sure. Nick Hodges posted a Twitter that he was “Sitting in on our internal company launch call,” which made me suspect it [...]
A few other bloggers have mentioned the install time being much faster, but I wanted to get a good measurement last night. In a fully patched XP SP3 VM with the prerequisites already installed (which does not include the .NET SDK), I started timing after finishing all the configuration.
Results: Just shy of 10 minutes. [...]
