The process of migrating your existing console applications to the Linux platform (recently added with Delphi 10.2 Tokyo) begins adding the new “64-bit Linux” platform to the “Target Platforms” of your project. Generally, everything goes smooth and you simply have to select “64-bit Linux” from the combobox in the “Select platform” dialog. If you can’t […]
I know, everybody is looking at the new Linux support in Delphi 10.2 Tokyo but I think this post has to come before the one about Linux support for MARS-Curiosity (spoiler: a penguin has been spotted on MARS 🙂 ). On February, 18th I released v1.1 of MARS-Curiosity library and started adding a bunch of new […]
Embarcadero has a contest for a T-shirt about the next Delphi release (10.2) so here is my entry! A brief explanation (even if it is quite obvious, I think): on the front of the T-shirt you can see a typical Linux command to launch Delphi on Linux and on the back there’s an emperor (nothing less 😉 ) […]
One of the key aspect I wanted to achieve while designing the MARS-Curiosity REST library was not to tie the developer to a specific implementation or library used in MARS-Curiosity. For example, one may want to use a specific ORM / DAC library / JSON library for many different reasons (like performance, functionalities, uniformity with […]
I am very happy to introduce you to SDriver, a new open source project I am working on since a while (formerly named SlackDriver but I noticed that name would have infringed Slack Brand Guidelines and I changed to SDriver). It is an simple Delphi wrapper for (some of) Slack APIs. What is Slack Slack […]
I’ve recently updated the MARSTemplate demo to provide some samples of deployment options for a MARS-Curiosity REST Server. VCL application FMX application Windows service Console application Apache server module Microsoft IIS ISAPI DLL Using a proxy webserver (Apache, nginx, lighttpd…) More to come (mORMot, Sparkle, …) The demo shows how easy it is to share […]
Happy new year everyone! 🙂 I’ve recently moved my blog from the previous hosting (where I was paying to have WordPress as a service and had some troubles with the blog offline for the last days of 2016) to a new server I will use also to host some other websites of mine (like andreamagni.eu) […]
The SDN Event (2016, December 9th) was great: good attendance, got a lot of questions about my open source projects and very good feedback from developers! Here are a few pictures I took during the day (including a selfie with Bob Swart and Marco Cantù I am quite proud of): Link to the Google Photo’s […]
I will be speaking at SDN (Software Development Network) event on December 9th, in The Netherlands. I am honored to take part as a speaker to this event, joining a long list of top quality Delphi experts who has been there in the past (including Bob Swart of course, that also is the organizer). The agenda of […]
This week I’ve been at EKON conference in Düsseldorf (Germany). EKON is one of the most important Delphi events in Europe and this was the 20th edition! It has been a honor for me to join a list of top quality speakers (here you can find them all). It has been a pleasure to spend a lot […]
