Over 20% of users abandon an application after using it the first time (per Localytics). How can you design your mobile app to avoid being one of these casualties?
Start out by designing your application with mobile in mind. You can’t just replicate your desktop application and expect it to make sense on a smaller form factor.
Each platform already has existing patterns your users are used to: iOS tab bars are on the bottom and include glyphs but Android tab bars are at the top and are text-on...

During each day of January 2013, I am creating a new video showing you how to use the new C++Builder XE3 compilers for Win32, Win64 and OSX to create multi-platform, database, multi-tier, HD and 3D applications. In the third video you will learn how to add Actions and Gestures to an existing C++ FireMonkey sample application, FireFlow, using the TActionList and TGestureManager components and a few additional lines of C++ code. Stay tuned to my blog for additional C++ programming videos each da...
With the upcoming release of our new C++Builder compiler for 64-bit Windows (will have C++11 standard support), Embarcadero Technologies continues our commitment for the C, C99 and C++ languages that started on May 13, 1987 with the first release of Turbo C version 1.0. The C++Builder 64-bit Windows compiler is coming soon.
For the past 25+ years, we have continued to innovate with industry leading development environments, compilers, tools, run-time libraries and tool chains. Today and int...
Join me for my second lunch and learn one hour webinar, during your lunch time in the US and Canada. You will learn how to use the new features of FireMonkey 2 available in RAD Studio XE3, Delphi XE3 and C++Builder XE3. Using FireMonkey 2, I'll show you how to build Windows and Mac applications using one CodeBase.
Register now for one of the four free sessions!
This lunch and learn will cover several of the new features in FireMonkey FM2 including (but not limited to):
Anchors and Lay...
Our web team has created an October 2012 calendar listing all of the 31 RAD Studio XE3 videos I did last month. It's called the "International RAD Studio Film Festival". Each day lists the title, has a thumbnail link the the YouTube Video, a short description of the video demo and a link to my blog post with additional information (including a download link for the MP4 version of the video).
Embarcadero® RAD Studio XE3 is your developer force multiplier and the fastest way to build data-ric...
This video shows you how to quickly add actions and gestures to the RAD Studio XE3 FireMonkey 2 FireFlow sample application (an adaption of the Cover Flow 3D animated UI found in iTunes, Mac Finder and other applications). Four actions (First, Last, Left and Right) are created and connected to four standard gestures (Left, Right, ChevronLeft, ChevronRight). The actions change the TrackBar value which triggers the already defined TrackBar OnChange Event Handler to animate the UI. The FireFlow s...
Windows 8 will be available this month. To take advantage of Microsoft's launch and your customers and users who will get new computers with Windows 8 or who will upgrade to Windows 8, you'll want to get your VCL and FireMonkey applications ready for the Windows 8 look and user experience. Using RAD Studio XE3, Delphi XE3 and C++Builder XE3 you can easily create Windows applications that incorporate the latest Windows 8 styling and functionality in an easy and accessible way. In the first vide...
In RAD Studio XE3 you can now use gestures in your Windows and Mac applications using FireMonkey 2. This short video shows you how to create Delphi and C++Builder Windows and Mac applications that use gestures. On Windows you can use a mouse and touch devices. On Mac OS X you use the two finger gesture support on the built-in touch pad or an external track pad.
For additional information about using Gestures in your FireMonkey Windows and Mac applications, read the article on the Embarcade...

На прошлой и этой неделе состоялись важные события с участием нашей компании. Во-первых, в Москве на прошлой неделе состоялась ежегодная конференция по СУБД Firebird. На этой конференции выступила руководитель проекта разработки СУБД Interbase компании Embarcadero Кристин Нормил. Если кто не знает, Firebird родился как новый Open Source проект на базе исходников Interbase 6.0. С той поры пути разработки (а они вообще неисповедимы) этих двух СУБД разошлись, дав каждой из них набор собственных до...
