Since legal invoicing became mandatory for every company in Italy (2019) many Italian people had to start handling XML files containing invoice data. Many viewers are already available to browse invoice files yet still the activity may become very time-consuming and far from trivial for the regular user.

Dall’introduzione dell’obbligo di fatturazione elettronica, introdotto per tutti in Italia dal 2019, molti di noi, a vario titolo, si sono trovati a dover maneggiare file XML delle fatture, attive o passive.

The day has come: my book is now available on PacktPub (link) and Amazon (link US, link IT) websites. It has been pre-order only till today, since a couple of … years! 😉 It has been a long journey since I signed the contract with the editor to write this book. It was late 2017, […]
A friend recently started two open source projects I consider very interesting for the Delphi community. IconFontsImageList and SVGIconImageList projects, by Carlo Barazzetta (Ethea), are available on GitHub.com. They enable Delphi developers to make a huge step into modernization of their applications (VCL, even when using older Delphi versions and FMX) or their UI, including […]
