How to get information, help and support when you need it - there are several ways.

Posted by on in Tips, Tricks and Techniques

From time to time I get email from developers asking for help. I am always very happy to see what I can do. The topics often trigger an idea for a blog post (like this one), a developer skill sprint, a demo and a webinar. So, keep those emails coming and I will do what I can to answer and/or redirect you to other sources of information and help.

Here is my common list of places where you can get help with issues, questions and suggestions.

Quality Portal:

See if a problem is fixed or has a workaround – and to report a problem or add a feature suggestion (and vote for feature suggestions):

We also have a Rad Studio Quality Portal user guide available at

Community Questions and Answers:

You can ask questions and get community members, MVPs, field evangelists and employees to point you to sources of information, documentation, samples and advice.

    It is always good to point out resources. It was still a sad month for C++ Builder when Damon Chandler announced that December 2015 was the last issue of the C++ Builder Journal (http://bcbj.org/). The reasons were entirely financial. It probably would have taken little resources for Embarcadero/Indera to help keep this beacon of light in the otherwise dark world of C++ Builder alight.
