We all want a 1GB Gmail account, and we all love Delphi. So I'm going to randomly select one lucky registered Delphi 2005 user on January 1st 2005 and hand over my personal Delphi Gmail account complete with 1GB space and 5 invites still unused... Yes, it's the coveted one and only "Delphi at gmail dot com". This is not an official Borland contest or marketing thing. Just a personal thing I want

A great question was posted in the Delphi newsgroups today: "What would make me switch from Delphi 7 to Delphi 2005?" This question is great because it's really the same for any Delphi Win32 developer using version v2 thru v7. The answer is that there are more new features for Win32 development than we've done in any previous version of Delphi. For Win32 development we focused on how we could

Some people have noticed that Nevrona Rave Reports is not in the Borcon Diamondback Preview. Don't worry, Rave is going to be in Diamondback. The preview does not have every feature included or turned on. The preview is very much a beta and some features were not quite ready for public consumption. Starteam integration, for example, is not turned on in the Borcon Preview CD even though it was

LOL. It makes for a catchy headline, but unfortunately this headline doesn't really reflect the article or the interview. The article is about our next Delphi. The headline and quote about going up against Microsoft and "taking on Visual Studio" is just plain... well odd. I should know, it was me the journalist was interviewing. So to be perfectly clear, with Diamondback we aren't trying to "take

I'm interested in speaking with Delphi customers who have a need to connect Delphi .NET apps with J2EE app servers and Corba objects. You can contact me at mswindell@borland.com

If it were just 7 & 8 combined, we'd just call it "Garter Snake" Rumor: "Diamondback will be two IDEs one for Win32 and one for .NET" Fact: Diamondback will be a single IDE :o) Rumor: "Diamondback will include ECO for ASP.NET, Refactoring, and Unit Michael Swindell 2004-08-05T16:50:06-07:00 2004-08-06T00:19:40Z 2004-08-05T23:50:06Z tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6607157.post-109174980609921771 Learn about Diamondback at Borcon
Yes, rumors are true. We're working on something code named "Diamondback". It's the next big thing after Delphi 8. And it will definitely earn the "big thing" title. Delphi developers and Windows developers in general will want to be at Borcon in September to learn about, see, and possibly try out what we've been up to so far. As Allen mentioned in his Blog, you especially want to be around Monday
