Tomorrow will be a live episode of the Podcast at Delphi.org
You can join us live on YouTube with your questions and comments, or catch the replay posted here. Stay tuned tomorrow for details on how to join.
This is our first time with this new format and would love to get your feedback. We’ll also appreciate your patience as we work out the technical details.
Today we talk with Stephen Ball about his work at Embarcadero, and Smart Grids!
This week’s MVP spotlight is on Dr. Yilmaz Yörü from Eskisehir-Turkey. He graduated from the department of Mechanical Engineering of Eskisehir Osmangazi University in 1997. He received his M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees from the same department/university. Some of his interests are Programming, Thermodynamics (Exergy), Fluid Mechanics and Artificial Intelligence. He also likes graphical design and high-end innovations.

In this special musical number I’ve created a music video based on Jonathan Coulton’s Code Monkey written in Delphi’s Object Pascal.

XE7 is full of new features everywhere, but there are some really nice ones specific to Android. Here is a replay of my Skill Sprint session on New Android Features.
The new Android specific features in XE7 include:
There are lots of other new features that are not specific to Android, but that will still help make your apps amazing for Android, iOS, Windows and OS X.
Have you signed up for Dropbox yet? It is a service that makes it really easy to syncronize files between multiple computers, your iPhone and friends. I am considering using their folder sharing as an alternative method to share out Delphi related materials, like maybe raw episodes of the podcast (before I edit them and add the music), or possibly trials, freebies, videos or other goodies!
Dropbox offers 2 GB free, but up to 100 GB for premium subscribers. As a bonus, if you sign up via a referral, then you both get an additional 250 MB free.
So if you are interested in something like that, let me know, and sign-up for Dropbox. If you do sign up via the link in this post, then we both get an additional250 MB of storage for free (more if you upgrade to a premium account).
I have some fun and exciting stuff planned to share out, and I would love to see what everyone else would be interested in sharing. Of course we want to make sure if it isn’t your own creation you have permission to share it.
So either sign up via one of the links here, or if you have already signed up then let me know you want to be part of the network.

My CodeRage 4 session Introduction to Silverlight with Delphi Prism is available for replay (full resolution). Some of the links are there, but there will be more links and more downloads to come. I also formatted the video (reduced resolution) to play on the iPod Touch, iPhone or any of a number of other compatible devices.
Stay tuned to CodeRage 4 the rest of the week. I have two more sessions coming, and there is a lot of other great sessions there too.
My CodeRage 4 session on Aspect Oriented Programming with Delphi Prism is available for replay (full resolution). Some of the links are there, but there will be more links and more downloads to come. I also formatted the video (reduced resolution) to play on the iPod Touch, iPhone or any of a number of other compatible devices.
CodeRage is going on all week and I still have 2 more sessions to come.
And now for something completely different. Today we have a video podcast of upgrading WordPress. This is an experiment in formatting video podcasts to play on the iPhone and iPod Touch.
You can watch the video online, or download it to watch later. I included the MP3 as well, but this is much better as a video podcast.
Let me know if you like these portable formatted video podcasts.
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.
