You can find all details about this Android capability at this location of the […]
Christmas time is very close and pretty much means the 2018 work year is more or less to the end. Here in Italy, most of us still have something to deal with about electronic invoicing that is becoming a legal requirement starting January, 1st. Apart from this, I’m done with customers for a couple of […]
Today, during my session at ITDevCon 9, I have been hit by the typical “demo effect” and my example about TListView customization and LiveBinding’s CustomFormat functionality refused to work. Obviously after a good coffee (we are in Italy, right?) and 5 minutes to rebuild my example from scratch, everything works. Who knows what happened. So […]
The Delphi Community Edition Bootcamp on EmbarcaderoAcademy.com started on September 3rd and will last 8 weeks.

The first week, focused on the language, was given by the best possible author: Marco Cantù, Embarcadero […]

It took only a few time to figure out a proper Stand and to implement the gesture handling and this is the result: […]
I will be speaking at the DAPUG (Danish Embarcadero User Group) event on April 24-25th in Nyborg (DK). The workshop (usually structured with a single speaker for two days) this year has a special format with two speakers (Marco Cantù, Embarcadero Product Manager and me) co-presenting most of the sessions. This year also marks the […]
Hope you all had a great start of the year! 🙂 One frequent suggestion I got from developers willing to use MARS REST library is to make it as easier as possible to start from scratch. These latest weeks I tried to follow this suggestion and tried to simplify some aspects here and there, for […]
