Sunday, 14 August 2011I was really impressed with the list of features in this version of Delphi, XE was a bit disappointing, XE2 is jaw dropping. I was really impressed at the Auckland event, and I can't wait to get my hands on XE2.

Very nice to hear the feature matrix preview is out. A lot of new stuff to learn here, let say live binding, Firemonkey, datasnap connection manager (i like this at most). Great work ...

David:
What will happen to our current Delphi programs that use the Ribbon? Will they be supported in XE2?
If so, how will they translate to the Mac? I'm sure Mac users will NOT be happy using a Ribbon interface.
And how about iOS? There's no way the Ribbon would work there.
Would I be forced to write three different interfaces for the 3 platforms? I might want to do that anyway, since Windows, Mac and handheld users expect their own standard UI. But would I have to? -

Louis - Ribbon Controls are available only for Windows. When you are using FireMonkey to build HD and 3D UI applications you have one set of components that work on all platforms. If you want to call operating specific functions that are not available on other platforms, then you can ifdef those portions of code.

any difference of these two ?
VCL (Visual Component Library) for rapidly building 64-bit applications for Windows 7 and Windows Vista.
VCL support for Win64 -

That's quite a list!

Sorry to nitpick but you've made a grammatical error on a particularly important sentence of your post. It currently reads,
"This year, in RAD Studio XE2, we will deliver new capabilities some of the following".
It would be great to know what that sentence was supposed to be. -

This is very very exiting.
As a Delphi developer is see plenty of opportunities opening up.
More videos, please! I cant get enough. -

That is *so* awesome. Can't wait until deployment day. You guys are torturing us.

Jennifer et al - When RAD Studio XE2 is ready to ship - you'll get your hands on it. In the meantime, the world tour continues and we're showing it everywhere. if you can't make it to one of the stops, send me an email and I'll try to schedule some online stops either when I am on the road or afterwards.

David I failed to also mention ...VCL (Visual Component Library) for rapidly building 64-bit applications for Web Based applications, using Intraweb (IW).

Microsoft Office for the Mac uses a modified Ribbon so if a Ribbon implementation provided a view like that I doubt many people would think twice. Mac applications have become much more diverse in recent years.

Snorkel - DevArt has PostGreSQL and also a SQLite dbExpress drivers available. You can get them from http://www.devart.com/dbx/

This is what I call a list! Thanks god we have DVDs. Well done!

@Snorkel: Cases like these are why I'm happy to see sbExpress support ODBC.

OK, so I'm a little sad that there is no ribbon support, although it is probably possible to make one.
What I don't see mentioned that I am interested in, are:
1. Is there a FireMonkey grid control, and how flexible is it?
2. So FireMonkey will support styles, but is there a style editor in the box? Or is it a matter of assembling a list of images and referencing it from an XML file? -
