Delphi Tage 2012 in Heidelberg

Die Delphi-Tage sind seit 2005 das überregionale Treffen der deutschen Delphi-Community. Ausgerichtet wird das Treffen von den drei Delphi-Foren “Delphi-Treff”, “Entwickler-Ecke” und “Delphi-PRAXiS” mit freundlicher Unterstützung von Embarcadero. Die Delphi-Tage bestehen aus einer Vorkonferenz in Form von Workshops (Do + Fr), einem Community-Abend sowie der Hauptkonferenz (Sa).

Compileroptions in Delphi EKON Session 2009

MultilangTranslator 1.6 MultilangTranslator ist eine lizenzfreie Komponente, die mehrsprachige Anwendungen erlaubt. Die effiziente Komponente basiert auf Ressourcen und unterstützt ab Delphi 2 alle bekannten Plattformen (Win32, CLX, VCL.net, Freepascal/Lazarus). Das Demoprojekt "Brainess" (a game;)) zeigt die dynamische Unit mit externer Res-DLL und Sprachsteuerung. Als Batch lässt sich der Prozess beschleunigen, indem Sprachänderungen direkt in der Res-Datei erfolgen und sich als DLL compilieren lassen.

Delphi and InterBase: embarcadero

Pascal Analyzer PAL, was released in 2001, and is currently in version 5. This program parses Delphi or Pascal source code and produces reports that help you understand your source code better. You will also be able to identify potential errors and anomalies. Your code will be more readable and maintainable: PascalAnalyzer

Truth about LINUX Kernel

So deep inside the newest-greatest Linux kernel 2.6.xxx is in fact an old original Oberon System with Oberon-1 run-time methods, but without Oberon type safety. These modules are loaded/unloaded by the kernel. They have init/close sections, as well as methods. The methods are installed in procedure variables. All is arranged on top of old original C. The entire module structure is implemented by hand with a set of rules and preprocessor macros.
Amazing, how the newest-greatest and most advertised turns out to be old Wirth/Gutknecht design. Without proper attribution of course. Oberon Free Pascal Books

Early history at Apple

Object Pascal (OP) is an extension of the Pascal language that was developed at Apple Computer by a team led by Larry Tesler in consultation with Niklaus Wirth, the inventor of Pascal. It is descended from an earlier object-oriented version of Pascal called Clascal, which was available on the Lisa computer.
Object Pascal was needed in order to support MacApp, an expandable Mac application framework that would now be called a class library. OP extensions and MacApp itself were developed by Barry Haynes, Ken Doyle and L. Rosenstein and were tested by Dan Allen. Larry Tesler oversaw the project, which began very early in 1985 and became a product in 1986.
Apple dropped support for OP when they moved from Motorola 68K chips to IBM's PowerPC 1994.
An OP extension was also implemented in the Think Pascal IDE. The IDE includes compiler and editor, a powerful debugger and a class library. The development stopped after the 4.01 version because the company was bought by Symantec. The developers then left the project.

FPC from the start and also covers the advanced features. August 20, 2009: The 2009 International Olympiad in Informatics has been won by the 14 years old H. Karatkevich using Free Pascal. For this contest only the gcc and FPC compilers were allowed; Lazarus book available at toolbox!.
FreePascal & Lazarus
Open source compiler for Pascal, Delphi and OP version 2.6.0 is available.

Mit FreePascal, Lazarus, FreeCLX und Chrome sind auch Alternativen vorhanden. Auch OpenGL in Delphi zeigt die Effizienz der IDE und das homogene Bild der VCL die wichtiger ist als Grösse, weniger ist eben mehr. Mit Lazarus 1.0 und Firebird ist seit langem eine hochperformantes Entwicklungssystem auf diversen Plattformen lizenzfrei im Einsatz!

EKON 15, 28.9.2011 The conference is over and embarcadero has strenghten the future as Nick said: "We don´t wanna chasing about technologies" means they have their own with VCL, ECO, Interbase, IntraWeb, DBX4 and so on! EKON is the result of expensive research. Go on with NATIVE.
