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 ...

I have just put together a little EDN article about using jQueryMobile JavaScript library in your Delphi XE2 "DataSnap REST Application" projects. The idea was to demonstrate how to call server-side functions implemented in native Delphi code from the JavaScript client embedded in a web page using very popular jQueryMobile framework for pages optimized for web browsers running in smartphones. The article is available here: http://edn.embarcadero.com/article/42016 ... and the source code he...

It is a really long day today:-) I'm now still listening to "24 Hours of Delphi" online webinar hosted by David I and Anders Ohlsson from Developer Relations, and it is almost midnight now. Very good stuff! I have promised during my session to upload "FireMonkey End-to-End Scenarios" demos. Both demos and slides are now available for download from this link: http://cc.embarcadero.com/item/28674 Overview With FireMonkey you can create great looking HD and 3D user interfaces, but at t...

It has been just few days since Delphi Prism May 2009 has been released. One of the most visible new things is its support for AOP through Cirrus framework. Jim McKeeth demonstrated Delphi Prism AOP demo during the recent DelphiLive! conference and it was enlightning experience to see how aspects are modifying code during the compilation time. The AOP is very interesting. Yesterday I have been presenting ".NET Programming with Delphi Prism" webinar. Of course AOP was the first demo, but I als...

I'm back from DelphiLive! 2009 conference and I'm very excited about Delphi and where it is going. Delphi developers were so happy to see how relevant Delphi is in the modern world of computing. After plenty of disclaimers we saw some of the features for upcoming Delphi "Weaver" release and beyond. Marco Cantu posted nice summaries on his blog from conference Day 2 and Day 3 (Day 1&4 was pre- and post-conference tutorials) and here is the summary from Nick Hodges: "DelphiLive was a real g...

A while ago I have described the most simple Delphi 2009 DataSnap "Echo" application in "Getting Started with Delphi DataSnap 2009" blog post and in the EDN article. DataSnap 2009 uses custom JSON-based protocol for on-the-wire communication between clients and servers. It is very easy to intercept and log messages being exchanged in DataSnap 2009. As a starting point for adding logging to a simple DataSnap server application, I'm going to use "DelphiDataSnapEchoServer" descibed in my previou...

Introduction The new DataSnap 2009 architecture extends the DBX4 database driver framework introduced in Delphi 2007 and C++Builder 2007. The DBX4 framework abstracted away the concept of a database driver and introduced the notion of extensible command types. DataSnap 2009 takes advantage of the DBX4 extensibility and adds to the portfolio of existing databases drivers the new “DataSnap” driver that - from the perspective of a client application - looks very much like a database, but in realit...
