I am actually sitting outside a closed coffee shop using their free wifi in hopes I will be able to upload this. I am on a family vacation and I didn’t think about the fact that I wouldn’t be able to easily get online whenever I needed to. You may have noticed a change in [...]
I got a chance to sit down with Julian Bucknall, the CTO of DevExpress at PDC2008 to talk about using DevExpress’ .NET products with CodeGear‘s Delphi Prism from Embarcadero Technology.

Back in CodeRage II we saw the introduction of Delphi Robot Rage. Unfortunately the engine was a little buggy and didn’t work on all platforms. Well, for CodeRage III, Delphi Robot Rage is back with a vengeance (sounds cool anyway). A whole new engine, with more development options! Details are here!
I went to install the latest JVCL today for Delphi 2009. I was surprised that JEDI stopped offering one download with both the JCL and JVCL. So I downloaded both, installing JCL first since it is required by JVCL. Well, JVCL gave me an error that I had the wrong version of the JCL installed. [...]
