More a monthly than a weekly roundup of Delphi and RAD Studio related blogs post, news, and more... but a fat one.
Languages-Related Blog Posts
- Nick on Delphi and #Code2014 at www.codingindelphi.com/blog/delphi-and-code2014/ (I agree, Delphi did very well, but I personally consider this more of a fun competition than a real indication of a language popularity)
- Related with that, this is yet another Programming Languages popularity chart at langpop.corger.nl/ (in which Delphi is doing quite nice)
- Delphi even got into a slashdot discussion at ask.slashdot.org/story/15/01/25/1739255/ask-slashdot-is-pascal-underrated

Latest installment is at community.embarcadero.com/index.php/blogs/entry/embarcadero-community-webcast-episode-4-january-26-2015. A good way to start your week with a summary of webinars, events, blog posts, with a nice video webcast. Recommended.
