Java Day Tokyo 2017 / Oracle Code Tokyo 2017 出展 レポート [JAPAN]  2017年 5月17日にJava Day Tokyo 2017、5月18日にOracle Code Tokyo  2017 が グランドプリンスホテル新高輪 国際館パミールにて開催されておりました。エンバカデロはこの両日、展示ブースで出展してまいりました。 1日目のJava Day Tokyoにおいては、国内最大級のJava言語の祭典において、Delphi(Object Pascal）とC++ Builderの言語を売り込むという大変アウェイな出展展示であります。2日目のOracle Code 2017は、今回が国内初開催だそうであります。  さて、その出展内容… Javaな方々にDelphi C++Builderの良さを知らしめるべく我々潜入班は… といった緊張感はなく、現在の開発言語を取り巻く環境においては、上級開発者の皆さんも感じております通り、一つの言語にこだわって開発をする、というよりも複数の言語を取り入れたり、...

If you are looking to use some third party libraries, APIs, or frameworks in your mobile applications on iOS or Android you may need to generate header files in order to access those interfaces. You might want to do this if you want to use the Facebook SDK, or the Google AdWords Conversion Tracking SDK, or any number of third party libraries. There are a number of tools that can help you do this (some of which ship with Delphi 10.1 Berlin). The first tool is SdkTransform and it is used to ...

Оказывается, что остались пользователи, которые в силу тех или иных причин не были информированы о летних вебинарах Embarcadero. Прискорбненько! Мы постараемся обязательно исправить ситуацию. Но это еще раз подчеркивает ценность наличия материалов для "оффлайн"-просмотра. Стали доступны запись и слайды вебинара с загадочным заголовком "Будильник для Android в FireMonkey".   За этим набором слов скрывается рассказ о целом классе задач и одном из способов решения в среде Delphi-Android Сред...

Hace unos días se planteaba en el clubdelphi una cuestión acerca de la gestión de volúmenes en los dispositivos Android. Me llamó la atención porque días atrás me había planteado la cuestión de poder disponer de "perfiles de audio" en mi propio teléfono Android. Se trata de un Xiaomi con versión KitKat instalada y una ROM personalizada. ¿Cómo podemos desde Delphi acceder a los volúmenes del dispositivo para las diferentes características (música, alarmas, llamadas,....

I'm back from Warsaw where I have been presenting Delphi XE2 and FireMonkey to Polish developers. In fact it was the third event in Warsaw about Delphi and FireMonkey since the release of RAD Studio XE2 back in September 2011! That's amazing to watch happy faces of Delphi developers seeing all the great "visually stunning" FireMonkey HD and 3D demos, including excellent "Gallery 3D" components presented a while ago by JT on YouTube. Next week I'm off for one week of skiing in Austria ...

With cross platform development opening up thanks to FireMonkey, this short video shows how to make a Java server talk to a FireMonkey client. The HD FireMonkey client is then compiled for running on Windows and also on MAC with exactly the same code! How cool is that!! FireMonkey and Cross Platform Development...

In coming weeks there will be plenty of opportunities to watch RAD Studio XE2 live in Europe! You can find information about all events around the world in the RAD Studio XE2 World Tour web page (http://www.embarcadero.com/world-tour). There are more then 70 cities in 30 countries! Delphi and C++Builder are getting traction again! RAD Studio XE2 with Delphi XE2, C++Builder XE2, Prism XE2 and RadPHP XE2 is already available! XE2 is clearly the most significant release of Delphi since Delphi 1!...

Platform is one the most overloaded terms in computer technology. When someone talks about supporting a platform they might be referring to an operating system platform, hardware platform, mobile platform, database platform, graphics hardware and software platform, service based platform, application based platform, a framework, or an architecture.  Operating system platforms in use today include Windows (desktop, server, and Mobile), Linux, OS X, iOS, Android, Blackberry OS, Unix (and it's vari...

The Space Shuttle Atlantis landed this morning on Runway 15 at the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida at 5:57am EDT.  The landing marked the end of 30 years of the Space Shuttle program.  I want more explorations both robotic and manned spacecraft.  In Star Trek we were told over and over again "To boldly go where no man has gone before".  In software development we continue to go where no programmer has gone before. Exploration drives us forward. Exploration drives our imagination.  Explo...

Julie Andrews, as Mary Poppins, sang "Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down." The "Spoonful of Sugar" song starts "In every job that must be done, there is an element of fun. You find the fun and snap the job's a game".  When I am programming, I am having fun.  Yes, it is also a job, but, creating software is a job, a game, and total fun.  In programming languages, some people might claim that certain language features are "syntactic sugar".  The claim is that syntax was added to m...
