In this much belated episode I talk with Jason McMillen of Pascal Game Development. We discuss the surprisingly vast world of Pascal Game Development with Delphi, Free Pascal, Oxygene and other Pascal and Object Pascal derivatives. You can find Jason “WILL” McMillen in the following places:

Talking with Marco & Cary about Delphi, it’s future and Delphi Developer Days 2011. I will be joining Marco and Cary in Huston for Delphi Developer Days. Looking forward to seeing everyone there!

A special interview with Carlo Kok about the new project “Cooper” – an Object Pascal compiler for Java and Android. “Cooper” is a new and exciting research project going on in the RemObjects Software Labs, to bring the Oxygene language from Delphi Prism to the Java and Android platforms. The original Oxygene for .NET set out to bring a modern and “next generation” Object Pascal to the .NET world, Project “Cooper” is taking this endeavor to the next level, expanding the reach of Oxygene to the second big managed platform.

Talking with Allen Bauer, Chief Scientist with Embarcadero, working on Delphi and other RAD tools.

We discussed:

• Delphi on the Mac
• New platforms for Delphi
• Investments in Delphi Team
• New Cross Platform graphical widget library
• Escaping the beige world
• Decoupling UI from application logic
• Good user interface design

This is the second part of episode 44 with Allen Bauer where we mostly discussed Delphi for 64-bit.

Sitting down to talk with Allen Bauer, Chief Scientist at Embarcadero working on Delphi.  Talking with Allen about Delphi for Mac, 64-Bit Delphi and Delphi on other platforms.  This is part 1 of 2.

Another combined episode with RemObjects Radio (we will have our own episodes again soon).  In this episode I talk with marc hoffman, Olaf Monien and Daniel Magin about the upcoming Developer Solutions Conference in Las Vegas for this February 2011.  There is a discount code good through Christmas on the site.  This is a really exciting conference.  It is the first joint conference with RemObjects and Developer Experts.  We are re-inventing the conference to degree.  The idea with the Developer Solutions Conference is to have all the sessions tightly coupled for a specific objective.  The objective this time around is introducing developers to cross platform and mobile application development, specifically with multi-tier database applications.  It will be a great conference and I look forward to seeing you all there.

Recorded live and in person at Delphi Tage in Berlin (I’m still here for 2 more weeks for EKON too). The Delphi Tage (“Delphi Days”) was a short (3-day) conference organized by the German Delphi PRAXiS community forums, alongside Embacrdero and Developer Experts.  It provided two days of preconference workshops, and a day with 3 tracks of conference-style talks on various topics surrounding Delphi and Delphi Prism . Our podcast is basically a roundtable discussion with a bunch of people involved in the conference, including the organizers (Daniel Wolf and Daniel Magin), some RemObjects folks, David I from Embarcadero and Uwe Schuster (the guy behind the SVN integration in Delphi/Win32 XE) and Arvid Winkelsdorf of Indy fame.

Since this was so much fun, we decided to share this episode between here and RemObjects Radio.

Update: The organizers of the Delphi-Tage is the German Delphi community represented through Delphi-Praxis, Delphi-Treff and Entwickler-Ecke supported by Embarcadero Germany and Developer Experts.  – Thanks to Martin for clarifying that for me.

In episode 43 I have a nice conversation with Simon Kissel about his projects:

• CrossKylix
• CrossFPC
• Alternative Delphi Road Map

Thanks to Simon for his time and my apologies to him and everyone else that this took a while to post.

Update: The links were broken due to server issues.  They are working now.  Simon reported over 1000 downloads of CrossKylix since the update.

Today we talk with David I, chief Developer Evangelist and VP of Developer Relations from Embarcadero Technologies.

We talk about

• DataRage 2
• Delphi Application Showcase (Now with 75 applications!)
• Embarcadero Developer Network
• Delphi Roadmap
• David I’s contact information:
  • Facebook
  • LinkedIn
  • 831-431-5399

Primoz is a long time Delphi developer as well as writer for The Delphi Magazine, Monitor and Blaise Pascal magazines.  You may know him from his blog TheDelphiGeek.com or his OmniThreadLibrary for threading in Delphi.  You can also find his articles at 17th Elephant and he is on Stack Overflow.

• We discuss Delphi Mac support
• Delphi Garbage Collection
• 64-Bit Delphi
