I got a chance to sit down with Julian Bucknall, the CTO of DevExpress at PDC2008 to talk about using DevExpress’ .NET products with CodeGear‘s Delphi Prism from Embarcadero Technology.
Specifically we talk about the return of CodeRush to Delphi.
The microphone picked up all the background noise, which makes it a little hard to understand us, so I added captions.

The SDK / API / Framework is now available for the Revenge of Delphi Robot Rage. Check out the details page.
This time around it uses Delphi Prism and a much better API and Framework based on UT3 for your bots. I am sure you will find it much easier to work with, and way more powerful.
I am still looking into prizes and I need to set the time frame for entries. So much to do, so little time.
Stay tuned for more information and make sure you are registered for CodeRage III. See you at the final session!
This was recorded live at PDC2008. You are getting it unedited and raw, but in your choice of formats: Audio or Video!
Allen Bauer is the Chief Scientist working on Delphi for Embarcadero’s CodeGear. You can read his blog at the Oracle at Delphi and follow him on Twitter.
Whatever format you get, it is 10:49 long.
Another screen cast for Delphi Prism, this one is a WPF for Hello World. Same as the WinForms, but WPF. No naration this time. 2 minutes and 11 seconds.
Didn’t think I would get any more done at PDC, but I found some time . . . .
I recorded a quick first look at Delphi Prism in Visual Studio 2008. Just a short overview of only 3:24 seconds to create a Hello World video. This was recorded live while sitting in the hall at PDC2008.
More to come! Let me know what you think and what you would like to see.
Sitting down with Nick Hodges, marc hoffman and Allen Bauer at Microsoft’s PDC2008 to discuss Delphi Prism. Get answers to all your questions about what Delphi Prism is, and the future of Delphi. Leave any questions you have on Delphi Prism here, and I’ll get the answers for you.
A little late to on this podcast, but it is some good information. The audio quality is not as good as I would like, but you can certainly hear what is going on.
There is a flash mob / Open Space session on Delphi 2009 and Prism at PDC2008 in the Open Space area at 3:30 PM. See everyone there.
Also, I have a good conversation going on with Jay Faubion on my Delphi Prism post. A lot more information in the comments. Thanks Jay!
Sometimes being on-site slows you down. The WiFi is spotty and just finding a change to sit down is a challenge. The news about Delphi Prism is out. What is Delphi Prism? It is Delphi with full .NET 3.5+ support running in Visual Studio, with a number of the high power database solutions you would expect from CodeGear / Embarcadero.
Behind the scenes, this is accomplished with a stack of
You put all that together and you have a pretty exciting solution for .NET development.
Check out the impressive list of language features available in Delphi Prism, that are not available in C#. We talked about a lot of these in Episode 5. Notably:
Not to mention all the cool things you can do with the database tools.
I am sure there is much more to come about Delphi Prism.
At 1:45 AM today Allen Bauer will be presenting an open space session on Delphi 2009. Be sure to show up with your Delphi questions and to find out what is new in Delphi 2009. I’ll be there and would love to meet you too.
I picked up my Delphi Prism DVD too. I’ll post some interesting details on that later. Just in case you missed the news (or didn’t see it coming), it is powered by the RemObjects Oxygene compiler. From what I can tell they have exclusively licensed it.
PDC has been really interesting. I’ve been live posting to Twitter as much as I can, and much more frequently then I can here. I’ve already done a couple of interviews that I will be posting later too. Need to find some good WiFi. I am on one of the provided PC’s right now. BTW, IE 8 Beta doesn’t seem it like WordPress’s Admin page. Don’t think I can get Firefox installed though.
The reason for this special edition is there has been some big news lately and I wanted to go straight to the source to get you the facts on what is going on as soon as possible.
I tracked down Anders Ohlsson and Christine Ellis of Developer Relations at Embarcadero CodeGear to get the facts on CodeRage 3, an upcoming physical conference and the elusive Delphi Prism. We also discuss plans for a Delphi flash mob at the PDC Open Spaces.
