Monday, 19 January 2009. Some are more equal than others! Now to the title. What's equal to what? I'll investigate later with reflector. Finally, I wanted to try and use the asynchronous features of Delphi Prism. Nothing too complicated. So I just split up the outer loop into ranges, and used Delphi Prisms async. This ap...

Friday, 21 November 2008. Can you read c#? I've just found another very good reason for using Delphi Prism over c#. I’ve never really used c# in anger, but the little I have used it, case sensitivity just drove me nuts. It’s too easy to make a mistake. A simple piece of code such as. Foo foo = new. FOO = 20;. I read blog...

Next time I’ll demonstrate how I use those attributes to create a class map. Indeed, no pure D2010 ORM yet. MVP Spotlight: Holg...

I'm a professional Delphi developer who works from home. I don't really have anyone to argue with, about technical stuff, so hopefully this blog will allow me to get things off my chest. Sunday, 21 March 2010. Silverlight back from the dead. Microsoft have probably just saved Silverlight. Their recent announcement of the Windows Phone 7 Series. Have Embarcadero backed the wrong horse (again…)? Why should I use Delphi Prism and not C#? I need a reason to use it though. One I can go to my boss with....

Saturday, 28 March 2009. When did the internet become so essential? Next week I’m going into hospital for a knee operation. I’m not worried about the pain, or the months of rehabilitation afterwards.

Friday, 21 August 2009. W32/Induc-A are you worried? Over the last few days there have been a flurry of posts about this virus. I’m not going to repeat what it is or what it does, as I’m sure any self respecting Delphi developer has read the same posts that I have. Are Embarcadero worried about this development? I’...

Sunday, 10 May 2009. The European Commission is proposing wants to make developers, liable. For their own code. When they say developers, I guess they mean the actual company that releases the software, rather than the individual developer. To release their update! Is this a good thing, or a bad thing?
