Olaf’s Thoughts About Development

Wir, die DelphiExperts gehen mal wieder mit Embarcadero auf DevTracks Reisen und bieten jeweils am Tag danach oder davor einen unserer gewohnt pragmatischen Delphi Workshops an.

Wir werden diesmal gewissermassen das Thema “Sauberkeit am Arbeitsplatz” behandeln, d.h. wir zeigen Ihnen alles zum Thema Sourcecodeverwaltung (Subversion), Debuggen, Fehlereingrenzung und Speicherprobleme. Als besonderes Extra zeigen wir Ihnen, wie man native iPhone/iPad Anwendungen mit einem Delphi Backend verbinden kann.

Die genaue Agenda und Anmeldung findet sich unter www.DelphiExperts.net

Daniel and I are happy to announce that our first iPad application is availble since today. Actually it was already available yesterday, but without an iPad it wasn’t that much fun

It’s an iPad only application – it’s a magazine. So it really makes use of the large iPad screen. On the iPhone it just wouldn’t be readable. Daniel and I (and actually Holger assisted us a bit) developed that application for our partner American International Media, who own the magazine. That copmany also owns the USA Sevens Rugby series, which is an interesting Rugby variant: 7 Players per team – 2 * 7 minutes.  From 2016 its gonna be Olympic.

Get the mag at Apple’s AppStore

We considered using Delphi Prism / MonoTouch for this application, but as we know that Apple would come out with a couple of new beta releases of the 3.2 SDK right before the submission deadline, we decided against it, to make sure we were able to deliver. We are working on a DelphiFeeds app though – which will be using Delphi Prism. Stay tuned for that.
