My "RAD in Action: Build Modern Apps with Enterprise Mobility Services" webinar is happening right now. During my 50 minutes session I'm demonstrating using DataSnap framework for building multi-tier database application with FireDAC JSON Reflection framework. That's very powerful and very easy to code. During the demo I have illustrated the following best practices: InterBase „EMPLOYEE” sample database FireDAC database access components DataSnap server deployed to a web server ...

It was so much fun to create one of the "Developer Skills Sprint" sessions last week. During the live Q'n'A session I have promised to make the source code of my DataSnap "Simple Calculator" REST server and client projects available. Here it is! It is now available from the Code Central at http://cc.embarcadero.com/item/29915 A few years ago, back in the Delphi XE time frame, I have created a series of DataSnap "Delphi Labs". The source code of these Delphi Labs has been updated to Delphi...

Welcome to The C++ Mobile Day webinar! Right now I'm listening to David I explaining basics of building native mobile apps for Android and iOS from the same C++ codebase with C++Builder XE6. In less than three hours there will be my, prerecorded session "Create C++ Secure Mobile Applications that Work with Enterprise Web Services and Multi-tier Architectures". In this session I'm going to demonstrate how to use C++Builder XE6 to build a multi-tier database application with DataSnap framework....

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...

The momentum around the latest RAD Studio XE6 release is building very quickly. I have this feeling that this is going one of the most successful releases of Delphi and C++Builder. 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...
