Delphi Productivity Tour In Baltimore with Anders Ohlsson

After finishing my two-day seminar with Cary Jensen, I'm attending the Baltimore stop of the Delphi Productivity Tour, with Anders Ohlsson.

After finishing my two-day seminar with Cary Jensen in the Washington DC area (actually next to the BWI airport), I'm attending the Baltimore/Washington stop of the Delphi Productivity Tour, with Anders Ohlsson. This is taking place in the same room that hosted our class, so we were involved in setting it up.

Anders did a good job introducing Embarcadero Technologies, covering Delphi 2009 (Unicode, anonymous methods, datasnap 2009, improved COM, and VCL changes), covered All-Access, and more.

What's happening with the Delphi compiler? It is getting a new front-end and a new back-end so we will soon be able to compile for Windows 64 bit (with a public preview expected before the end of this year) and support Linux and Mac in the future.

He said that in the next version of Delphi they are looking forward to supporting (among other features) Firebird, touch-based UI (multi-platform touch engine), 64bit, and cloud computing.

It was a nice meeting of about 40 developers and I ended up selling (and signing) a few copies of my Delphi 2009 Handbook that I had with me.

Delphi Productivity Tour In Baltimore with Anders Ohlsson

Having purchased and heavily used many of the 
reference books you and Cary have created for Delphi, 
it was a pleasure to meet you both in person.  The 
classes where full of useful information, and the 
interchange between those of us that attended was 
well worth the price of admission!  I only wish 
the "Cloning Machine" were perfected so I could have 
attended all of the Breakouts.

Thanks for a great meeeting.

Maybe you should clarify how much of this has been an
April Fool ;)

 Hi Marco,

I didn't actually give a time frame for any of those
things, definitely not "next version of Delphi"...
What I said was "cooking in the labs", "under
investigation", "researching" etc, etc. No timelines.

Thanks for a great event!

/Anders
