During my recent CodeRage 8 "Secure DataSnap Development" session, I have promised to make the source code of both demos available for download. I have just uploaded them to Embarcadero CodeCentral!
Demo 1: Secure C++Builder DataSnap "Hello World" server and mobile client
This is a very simple demo that shows basic security in DataSnap, including secure communication with HTTPS protocol, encryption transport filters plus authentication and authorisation in code.
Demo 2: Secure C++ Dat...
Recently I have been creating a number of applications using InterBase on iOS and Android using FireDAC components to talk to the database. One route to achieving this is by create the database file and table structure either via iSQL or using IBConsole GUI first before using it in your project. Once you have the database file (which is simple enough to do) you then have to deploy the file along with the application using the deployment wizard. This all adds a little size to the application pack...
The question?
Being part of a team that travels around talking to developers you can imagine we get quite a range of questions. One of the more obscure in December as "Can you fit the bible into InterBase IBLite?"
The real question was...
Although that is a interesting question, the question really being asked here (due to the context of the session) was "Can we develop an application with InterBase's IBLite database for Android and iOS that contains the text for the bible and get that to And...
Happy New Year! Last year we delivered more new platform, language, component and library support than we ever had before. We had our largest CodeRage Delphi conference ever. We visited more cities and developers than ever before. The momentum continues into 2014 with more platforms, more technology and more improvements in our Delphi, C++Builder, RAD Studio and InterBase products for Windows, OSX, iOS and Android. Buckle up and join the wild ride into the future of native code software developm...
If you buy Delphi, C++Builder or RAD Studio XE5 Pro or higher between December 9 and December 31, 2013, you get a download for the InfoPower XE5 VCL Grid and Components. The InfoPower XE5 VCL Grid is a fast, efficient and flexible grid for use in your VCL applications.
I thought I would do a quick tutorial to show how easy it is to use the grid with FireDAC and the LiveBindings Wizard and VCL Styles.
In the IDE, go Tools->FireDAC Explorer. The first thing we need to do is define a new C...
Before I start. I just want to say, this is your last chance to get your free InterBase licenses. This offer ends 31st December 2013 - See http://www.embarcadero.com/radoffer for details:
Now... the reason this is important!
Are your business applications using old versions of InterBase or FireBird? Is so you may be at risk!
If you are working on business applications that store any data that can be used to identify people you need to read this post! In short... If you don't have your data ...
I'm back from the RAD Studio XE5 in LIVE! event in Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia. It is not the first time I have demonstrated true native, multi device development for Android, iOS, Mac and Windows with Delphi XE5, but it always feels refreshing. Delphi XE5 release is so special, because you can reuse your existing Delphi programming skills and existing codebase and be immediately productive on all major desktop and mobile operating systems in the world!

Esta entrada es una traducción al español del post "Cooking with InterBase on Android and iOS" escrito por Sarina DuPont en su blog personal.
Si eres usuario de Delphi o RAD Studio XE4, es probable que hayas usado IBLite (versión gratuita de InterBase en iOS) o IBToGo como base de datos en iOS. Con XE5, tenemos disponible IBLite tanto para iOS como para Android.
Hace un par de meses, Sarina Du Pont realizó una aplicación mobile de recetas para iOS llamada “Recipes” que nos permitía regist...
