First Dropbox Post

Jim McKeeth — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 06:29:17 +0000

As I am sure everyone knows, I interviewed Michael Rozlog, the Delphi Product Manager at Embarcadero Technologies last Thursday. I just got a chance to sit down and start editing it, but for those of you who cannot wait, I’ll share the rough version out for preview. My plan was to share it out via a Dropbox shared folder, but I am also going to share it via a DropBox public folder link.

I’ll keep the public folder link available until I post the final version of the episode.

For all of those who subscribed to DropBox via the link in the last post, it didn’t give me your email address, so I cannot add you to the public drop box. If you want to have access to the Public Delphi DropBox going forward, then you need to leave a comment here using your email address.

36 – Žarko Gaji?

Jim McKeeth — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 11:39:56 +0000

Today we have a great interview with Silver Helmet of Delphi Legends Community Award winner Žarko Gaji? from Delphi.About.com. Be sure to checkout his interview on Wings of Wind.

Some of the stuff we talk about:

Teaching developers new to Delphi.
Answering Delphi questions.
Delphi Best Practices.
The advantages of a free Delphi.
The move to Embarcadero.
And a lot more.

I really enjoyed this interview and Žarko is a great guy who does a lot for the community.

A couple points of news:

I actually interviewed Primož Gabrijel?i? previously, but unfortunately lost most of the audio. So I will get with him an record it again.
I haven’t had any posts for a while because my database filled up with stats, which prevented adding new posts. Thanks to Jamie Ingilby for his help troubleshooting it. I reconfigured it to keep the stats size down. Shouldn’t happen again.
