Last week I had a pleasure of doing remote online presentation about building proximity-enabled mobile apps with Delphi and RAD Studio for Delphi developers gathered at the Delphi Developer Days 2016 in Poland. Here are some notes, links and demos from this presentation.
Our smartphones are hardly phones anymore. They are in fact powerful, multi-purpose sensor centres that James Bond a few decades ago could have only dreamt about. If you think about it your phone has not only speakers...

One of the new features for the VCL XE6 is a availability of components for sensors. Now, opening the Tool Palette in VCL project, you will see three new components on the Sensors tab. You may have already used them in your FM applications, then you can begin to use them and VCL. No changes, only one restriction - VCL applications only for windows. If you have a Windows tablet with sensors you can try to make your application more user-friendly and comfortable.
Two tips - Setup on your tablet...
Одна из новых возможностей для VCL в XE6 это наличие компонентов для работы с датчиками. Сейчас, открыв Tool Palette в VCL проекте Вы увидите три новых компонента на вкладке Sensors. Возможно Вы уже использовали их в Ваших FM приложениях, тогда Вы можете начать их использовать и в VCL. Никаких изменений, только одно ограничение – VCL приложения только для windows. Если у Вас есть Windows планшет с датчиками Вы можете попытаться сделать Ваши приложения более дружественными и удобными.

During January we are blogging, writing, demoing and webinaring about Devices and Gadgets and the need for developers to help make it all work. On Wednesday, January 22 during 3 webinars, Jim McKeeth, David I and guests will be presenting "Programming Devices and Gadgets with RAD Studio" at 6am, 11am and 5pm Pacific Time. While some of the devices and gadgets we will be using support alternate user interfaces (Google Glass, Leap Motion 3D input and Emotiv EPOC brain computer interface), others a...
Jim and I are still working on our demos for our upcoming webinar, "Making the Connection: Programming Devices and Gadgets with RAD Studio" on January 22, 2014 at 6am, 11am and 5pm Pacific Time. At the same time in Las Vegas, companies are announcing new devices and gadgets this week at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2014. While we won't have time to get some of these newly announced gadgets, during the webinar we'll show you how to use Delphi and C++Builder to program and connect to a rang...
Last week, on December 12, I presented 3 webinars titled "RAD in Action - Step Up to the Multi-Device App Platform". The webinar replay and resources will be available soon. The on-demand webinar information should appear on the same link as the original registration page at http://forms.embarcadero.com/Multi-DeviceApplicationPlatformWebinar12-12. The RAD-in-Action page will appear soon on the list of RAD-in-Action webinar replays at https://www.embarcadero.com/rad-in-action. In the meantime, h...
Sensor support was originally added to Delphi a year ago. The sensor APIs are defined in the System.Sensors unit name scope and can be use in your Windows VCL and FM apps. This blog post will show you how you can easily location enable your Delphi VCL Windows applications. You'll need a GPS device for your Windows computer (some of the recent Intel based Ultrabooks have GPS hardware built in. On the Intel Ultrabook page they list additional built-in sensors: compass, accelerometer, inclinomete...
Regardless of the previous version of Delphi you are using, there are a large number of benefits you will gain by moving your projects forward. There is also a special offer for all Delphi customers (regardless of the version you are using) to move up to our latest XE5 release. I am sure that you see that there a lot of great new technology available to you as a Windows VCL developer.
Delphi XE5 Technologies you can use today in your Windows/VCL apps

Michael Swindell challenged us to create mobile apps using Delphi XE5 for iOS and Android with only one line of code. After thinking about this for awhile, here is my first one line of code app, "Map My Location". This app uses the TLocationSensor, TToolBar, TLabel and TWebBrowser components to create an Android and iOS app that displays a Google map of my current location.
To start this Delphi XE5 mobile project, choose the "File | New | FireMonkey Mobile Application - Delphi" IDE menu choi...
We are now into the single digits for the number of days before CodeRage 8 Delphi Conference starts. The anticipation is building and the presenters are completing their session preparations. Nine more days until the CodeRage 8 Delphi Conference starts on Tuesday, October 15. Delphi XE5 allows you to create iOS, Android, Windows and Mac OSX applications using one codebase and true native optimized machine code. Join Embarcadero and software development experts from around the world at the CodeRa...
