If you want to display only a range of results from a recordset you can using paging (otherwise known as pagination) to do so. It is a common pattern when doing web development to give the user 20 results for example and then the ability to move to the next page. If you are implementing a REST API in RAD Server you might also implement this functionality instead of delivering 2 million rows for the query you only deliver the first 20 rows and the next 20 can be requested in the next call. Obviou...
Miniatur Wonderland Hamburg is the world's largest model train set as officially certified by the Guinness World Book of Records. Apparently the whole system is powered by software built in Delphi on the back end (including the control room). Embarcadero's Jim McKeeth has another article where he details more about the control room and the other software like Railware that controls the whole setup.
The train set has a 1,490 m² layout, contains 260,000+ figures, cost over 21 million Euro's ...
Busy start of the week. Two RAD Studio 10.2 presentations in two days. Right now I'm sitting in the airport in Budapest waiting for my flight back home, after the event in Budapest (Hungary) today and in Bratislava (Slovak Republic) yesterday. Weather is truly nice and it really feels that summer holidays are coming:-)
It is such a nice and inspiring thing to show the latest Delphi and C++Builder features to enthusiastic developers in different countries. Today the RAD Studio event was organise...
The weather started to rock. Last week was great and today in Norway, really up North, is beautiful sunny day and I'm wearing shorts waiting form my flight back home from Oslo. Norway is really nice. They have this nice balance between North and South European countries and people are relaxed. I like the fact that the floor in the whole airport is wooden. Nice feeling.
Today I have been continuing my RAD Studio 10.2 tour with the morning presentation in the culture centre of Lillestrø...
RAD Studio 10.2 tour continues. My last stop this week is in Bussum, in the Neterlands, a couple of kilometers east from Amsterdam. There are many enthusiastic Delphi developers today that came to see presentations from Danny Wind, from Delphi Company, from Bob Swart, also known in Delphi community as Dr. Bob and myself.
The event is held is a nice theater building and the atmosphere is great. In the morning I have demonstrated Quick Edits to be more productive developer and Linux development w...
The RAD Studio 10.2 tour continues. Today we had a stop in Belgium in Edegem. That's the same conference facility very close to Antwerp that hosts most RAD Studio events in Belgium. The facilities are great. The room was not as big as yesterday in Paris, but that was good, because all attendees could easily read the code from the screen.
Every presentation is different. Today I have started from IDE productivity. Quick Edits have been received very well and there was this same question that pop...
RAD Studio 10.2 tour continues. Today I have been presenting on the full-day RAD Studio event organised by Barnsten in Paris. In the morning the presentation was around the new IDE features, including redesigned menu and Quick Edits, Linux develoment and publishing to Windows 10 Store. There was also a lot interest around IoT and specifically beacons.
What I really like in France is paying proper attention to eating. The lunch break was two hours long and included three-course, delicious meal. ...
RAD Studio 10.2 has been released just last month and I have already been showing it live to developers in Europe in Czech Republic, Poland and Sweden. There are more live events lining up that I'm going to present the latest version of RAD Studio, including new IDE features, Linux support, making database apps with FireDAC, and publishing REST APIs with RAD Server!
May 9th, London, UK - Introducing RAD Studio 10.2

On the high speed train from Stockholm to Gothenburg. In the morning flew from Amsterdam to show the latest Delphi and C++Builder to Swedish developers. There is certain energy exchange happening on live developer presentations like this. You give something and you get something in return. Nice to have Internet and electricity in the train, but after the whole day of programming new ideas do not come easy.
Every RAD event is different. From recent ones in Prague and Warsaw, I knew to keep enoug...
It did not take long since the release of Delphi Linux compiler to have the ability to build Linux GUIs with Delphi!
Just go to http://fmxlinux.com and get the only currently available download of FireMonkey for Linux which is "Free Trial v 0.905".
You need to have RAD Studio 10.2 "Tokyo" installed. Make sure it is not running and install the trial. It is small and installs very fast. Run Delphi and create a new multi-device project. Drop a button on the form and write just one line of co...
