The world of Delphi is HUGE. It love seeing all the different types of apps being built and seeing users all over the world. This week I was in Tokyo for their #0315inTokyo event announcing 10.2 Tokyo coming soon. In a surprising turn of events Eric Bonilha of Digifort from Brazil was in Tokyo on vacation too.

He stopped by the Tokyo office of Embarcadero for a quick visit. He showed off the latest version of his Digifort Mobile client and the engineers here showed him some of the things they are working on with BeaconFence for a local museum. A lot of fun.

We are all excited for the upcoming 10.2 Tokyo release adding support for Linux!

It is happenstance meetings like this that show how global Delphi and Embarcadero really are.

Go Delphi!

If you’ve been following along, this is Nick’s 3rd book in recent years, following on the heals of Coding in Delphi and More Coding in Delphi. This time around he has teamed up with Embarcadero MVP Stefan Glienke to cover the topic of Dependency Injection in depth and complete detail.

This book covers Dependency Injection from A to Z. In it you’ll learn about Constructor Injection, Property Injection, and Method Injection. You’ll learn about the right and wrong way to use the Dependency Injection Container.

Here is the Chapter List:

• What is Dependency Injection
• Benefits of Dependency Injection
• Constructor Injection
• Property Injection
• Method Injection
• Using the Container
• A Simple Migration Example
• Advanced Uses of the Container
• Dependency Injection Anti-patterns
• A Full, Useful Example
• Final Thoughts

Remember my blog post about Delphi’s DNA? We’ve been working on making it into an Infographic, and now people are asking about creating a poster of it too! What do you think? Do you want a DNA poster for your wall? What suggestions or changes would you make?

We just launched a MVP Blog Feed on the Community page. You can get to it at embt.co/mvp-feed. Eventually we will expand it to contain all the MVPs, Tech Partners and other Embarcadero Partners that may be of interest to the general public.

We are just getting warmed up!

So go bookmark it today and check back next week for more fun and excitement.

We’ve launched a new competitions section on the Embarcadero Community. This  will host competitions for you to show off your creativity and technical skills. It is kicking off with two competitions, the Delphi 10.2 T-Shirt Graphic Contest and the #FunWithDelphi: NASA API Mashup.

#FunWithDelphi: NASA API Mashup

You can have a little fun with Delphi in the new year by entering into our Fun With Delphi contest! Delphi makes it fast and easy to build REST clients using powerful built in components like TRESTClient and TRESTResponseDataSetAdapter. You can easily load up the JSON data retrieved from a REST API into in-memory components like TFDMemTable. Finally, you can use LiveBindings to visually display the data in your apps with very little code required.

We are excited to see what creative ways the Delphi community can come up with to utilize the REST libraries so we are announcing a contest where you can showcase your best REST client mashup using the NASA API.

Disclaimer: This contest is not sponsored or approved by NASA.

Delphi 10.2 T-Shirt Graphic Contest

The next release of Delphi, C++Builder and RAD Studio is 10.2 Tokyo. While the release is still some time away, we can start having fun now. If you want to play with the technical bits, make sure you are on Update Subscription and join the beta. For a little fun we have a contest to create T-shirt designs. Break out your creativity and artistic skills.

It is official, I am rebooting the Podcast with Nick Hodges. Right now I am calling it the Podcast @ Delphi.org since my friend Richard helped me get this domain working again (did you notice it wasn’t working?)

Who knows what the future will hold, but for now you can expect weekly half hour episodes with both Nick and I discussing the news and technology of our community.
