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. It is a great initiative with many outstanding authors giving free lessons over the Delphi product to celebrate the new Community Edition. The first week, focused on the language, was given by the best possible author: Marco Cantù, Embarcadero […]
In April, I had the pleasure to be a speaker at two great Delphi events: the 25th DAPUG meeting, in Denmark the 2018 edition of Delphi Code Camp, in Germany I love to meet Delphi developers at conferences and in-person meetings as I always come back with a lot of hints, tips and interesting case […]
I just added a new demo to TFrameStand repository (https://github.com/andrea-magni/TFrameStand). This comes after a user (Azzahrah) opened a issue asking how to mimic the typical Android’s bottom sheet UI pattern (https://github.com/andrea-magni/TFrameStand/issues/34). 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 […]
[Italian version below] English version Yesterday, December 13th, Embarcadero Technologies officially announced the availability for the Delphi 10.2 Tokyo second release (10.2.2).

JWT stands for JSON Web Tokens and it is a very popular technology used to implement custom-content tokens across REST services. Even if it is generally much over-rated and have its own drawbacks (especially when dealing with security), it is becoming something like a de facto standard for Web and REST applications authorization/authorization mechanisms. […]
As I mentioned in the prior blog post, the “Delphi and ExtJS” event, held in Milan on last October 26th, has been a success. When I first had a contact with Ibuildings Italia, the Sencha reseller partner in Italy, we thought it could have been a nice idea to provide a free public event to […]
