Recentemente liberamos o HotFix 6 para RAD Studio, Delphi, C++Builder XE5, devido a mudanças de interface feitas pela Apple no iOS SDK 7.1 e Xcode 5.1. O Hotfix resolveu o problema no OS X Mavericks (10.9), mas não para Mountain Lion (10.8). Por esta razão, no dia 17 de Abril último foi liberada uma nova versão deste Hotfix dando cobertura também ao Mountain Lion. Aproveito aqui para listar todos os updates do XE5 que você NÃO deve deixar de instalar: RAD Studio Update 2 (apenas updat...

During my recent CodeRage 8 "Secure DataSnap Development" session, I have promised to make the source code of both demos available for download. I have just uploaded them to Embarcadero CodeCentral! Demo 1: Secure C++Builder DataSnap "Hello World" server and mobile client This is a very simple demo that shows basic security in DataSnap, including secure communication with HTTPS protocol, encryption transport filters plus authentication and authorisation in code. Demo 2: Secure C++ Dat...

One of the most important things about any application, and especially mobile apps, is short start-up time. End user does not like to wait for too long for an app to start. In some cases, if the start-up time is excessively long a mobile app may not be accepted into an app store. I have been building a lot of mobile apps recently for both Android and iOS in Delphi and found myself reusing the same "lazy form creation" design pattern, that I would like to share with you. The idea is not new...

Delphi, C++Builder and RAD Studio include various VCL styles out of the box. These can be used for your Windows applications and customized via the included Bitmap Style Designer (Tools->Bitmap Style Designer). You can also create a new style from scratch. The easiest way to get started with a brand new style is to use the VCL style template in the Bitmap Style Designer as a guide. Below is a general outline of the steps required. a) File->'New style for VCL or FireMonkey' to start wit...

Пост в виде конспекта, чтобы не забыть и сохранить полученный опыт и идеи на будущее Постановка вопроса Развитие технологий хранения и обработки данных, в том числе и неструктурированных, большого объема и выраженной вариативности, вызвало стремительное развитие СУБД, альтернативных классическим реляционным. Яркий пример того — прогресс NoSQL-технологий, приходящих на замену давно известным реляционным базам данных. Вчера ещё веб базировался на нескольких известных СУБД, однако уже сегодня поя...

Everybody loves colours. Great apps should use colours in clever and original ways. I have been recently spending a lot of time using Delphi XE5 for designing screens for mobile apps and must admit that I really like the way how iOS 7 is using colours and gradients. There is a lot of interesting information about iOS user interface design best practices at "iOS 7 Design Resources - iOS Human Interface Guidelines". Gradients look especially cool. It is so easy to use C++ or Object Pascal with...
