Travelling... It is like with everything in our lives. When it is too much, you start not to like it. When it is too rare, you start to miss it. Human nature. I just like coding in Delphi and C++Builder, and just cannot help it. I like showing off the latest new features. And some existing ones as well:-) The new mantra: one source code and multiple target platforms! And the mantra that stood the challenge: building apps from reusable, visual components that you can manipulate at design ti...

Developers are very happy with the focus on quality, stability and performance of the IDE plus they like brand new features like app tethering and backend-as-as-service client components. For existing developers probably the biggest thing is continuous focus on improving and making stronger the best library for bui...
