Video now included

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.

Delphi Live! 2009 – What’s Cooking in the Delphi Labs – Part 7

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.

26 – Dwitterphi

The TMS AdvSmoothListBox - Nice twitter UI don't you think?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!)

Other libraries

  • DISQLite3 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!
