Sorry about no video being included in the last post. For some reason I couldn’t access my admin console right in the middle of posting. I think my hosting provider decides to block me occasionally because I do too many things at once. The video is now there. Enjoy! I think I have one more video to post from the labs, and then I am on to a couple of the other segments I recorded.
Category: podcast
This is actually the segment I’ve gotten the most requests for me to upload. Unfortunately I am a bit obsessive compulsive about doing them in order. . . . This is the part of the What’s Cooking in the Delphi Labs where I presented on the Cirrus Aspect Oriented programming framework for Delphi Prism.

28 – Ray Konopka
Today we talk with the talented Ray Konopka as part of our DelphiLive! speaker series.
Ray Konopka founded Raize Software, Inc. in 1995. Today, he serves as Raize Software’s President as well as Chief Architect for the company’s award winning CodeSite and Raize Components products. Ray is also the author of the highly acclaimed Developing Custom Delphi Components books and has published numerous magazine articles on software development. Ray specializes in user interface design and custom VCL and .NET component development, and is a frequent speaker at developer conferences in North America, Europe, and Australia.
Sessions:
- Half day workshop: Creating Custom VCL Components
- Regular session: Creating Composite VCL Controls
- Regular session: Creating Custom WPF Controls in Delphi Prism
In this podcast we talk about his sessions at DelphiLive! and we get into the details of some of the secrets that make his Raize Components some of the best components out there.
Welcome to Episode 27 of the Podcast at Delphi.org for Monday the 20th of April, 2009.
This episode was recorded with Nick Hodges on Thursday, the 17th of April, 2009. Nick discusses his new role as an R&D manager and some of the other changes going on at CodeGear. Also discuss the upcoming release of Delphi, the DelphiLive! conference, and some of the suggestions on Delphi.UserVoice.com.
- Nick Hodges is now a Delphi R&D Manager.
- Michael Rozlog takes over his role as Delphi product manager.
- Delphi 2009 Update 3 is literally days away now.
- Be sure to leave your feedback on the Delphi UserVoice page. There are four forums, so if you don’t see the feature request you are looking for, it may be in a different forum. Nick said Embarcadero is looking at all their user feedback, including User Voice. We marked a bunch of the suggestions with updated status.
- Wanna see what is next in Delphi? Sign up for the Delphi Weaver and Delphi Prism betas. Nick suggested that pretty much everyone who signs up will get accepted but are some pretty tough questions that you need to answer.
- Another great way to see what is coming up in the world of Delphi is to attend DelphiLive! of course we have a few podcasts about it too.
- You may be surprised how much more you can get for a little more money with Embarcadero’s All Access, which we also have a podcast about it too. They are working on the Delphi instant-on still though. It may be a platform for a component iTunes, which would be really cool.
- The Future of the Delphi compiler is still comming.
The episodes with Nick are always great ones, so I hope you enjoy it! If there are other links I missed please add those in the comments.
26 – Dwitterphi
Introducing Dwitterphi – the Delphi native Twitter client
The idea is to build a great light weight (lighter than Air) native Twitter client with Delphi 2009. It will show off some of the cool Delphi 2009 features and will be available as open source via the MPL 1.1 or New BSD licenses. While it uses some amazing 3rd party licenses, the goal is to make it buildable by everyone with Delphi 2009.
Recent contributions (Thanks guys!)
- Chuck Beasley donated his OAuth library – relicensed from GPL to MPL so it would be compatible.
- Gustavo Carreno donated some code to the Twitter lib too.
Other libraries
- DISQLite3 – A high performance, multi-user, fail-safeSQL-92 database engine with ACID transaction. Using the free version.
- Ararat Synapse – Blocking (synchronous) sockets or with limited non-blocking mode. Open source – BSD License.
- TMS Smooth Controls Pack – Feature-rich sophisticated looking & smoothly animated controls. Free with Delphi 2009. Full version with source donated to the project by TMS – Thanks!
- Addict Spell Checker – Native Delphi spell checking component suite of controls. Premium commercial components – able to exclude via compiler directives.
- Delphi restLib – REST Library for Delphi derived from lingr-delphi. Worked with D2009, but uses WideString.
The project is hosted at Assembla in an SVN repository. All 3rd party dependencies will be included when possible.
A few of the features we have in mind:
- Lightweight
- Groups of friends
- Filter by Groups
- Highlight by Groups
- Autogrouping by keyword / hash tag usage
- Filter / Highlight by keywords
- Threading in the stream
- Expand the thread to see what the tweet is in reply too
- Database that stores all your Tweets to allow easy searching
- Use the latest OAuth authentication (thanks to Chuck!)
The core Twitter API wrapper, and other parts as it makes sense, will target earlier versions of Delphi and FreePascal. Additionally the project will be loosely coupled and fairly modular to allow peices to be removed or swapped out with minimum effort.

24 – Delphi Projects
In this episode I talk with Jamie Ingilby, Steven Kamradt and marc hoffman. We introduce the Delphi Projects series which focuses on simple useful projects written in Delphi. Our first project is a Twitter client written in Delphi Win32.
This episode is the start of a series of podcasts. I thought it would be more interesting if there was something more to this podcast then just interviewing people and discussing Delphi news. So what we have done is started a series of Delphi projects that a small group of volunteers will work on and then discuss how the project goes via the podcast. Our first projects is a Twitter client written in Delphi.
Leave suggestions for names for the client in the comments. Allen Bauer is already using the Delphitter name. I am kind of leaning towards something that combines both Delphi and Twitter, but it needs to not contain the whole word “Twitter,” but you can be creative too. I’ll set up a poll with all the suggestions so everyone can vote. I have a name in mind already, but I am not attached to it.
If you are excited about this then please spread the word!
