Hey Marco, Here's how to fix Delphi: Make it fast.
Delphi Code Monkey
– The title of this blog post is a bit provocative. I think that Embarcadero is doing well with Delphi and I am excited about XE4. I have been using it. But I need to complain today. I get paid to write Windows applications, and Delphi is still the best tool for that job. But it ...

Delphi: Community Edition (A Proposal)
Te Waka o Delphi
– The time has come, the Walrus said, to talk of many things. Of shoes, and ships, and sealing-wax. Of cabbages, and kings. And why the sea is boiling hot, and whether pigs have wings. And why the cheapest version of Delphi costs a new user as much as a pretty reasonable second-hand car. Why even ...

EULA Change: No Client/Server in XE3 Pro. Not even 3rd Party.
Te Waka o Delphi
– I don’t enjoy posting this news. I really don’t. I had hoped that my next post would be a more positive report following the Auckland leg of the XE3 World Tour this morning (and that will come later today). But I feel this news is so important that it has to be mentioned, so here [...]

XE3–updated copy protection or how to slow down the IDE start
Andy's Blog
– With the release of RAD Studio XE3 Embarcadero made changes to the IDE’s copy protection. Those changes are ineffective because they are a no brainer for those who crack the software. Despite this the changes cause the IDE to start much slower. Even on a SSD you feel the difference between XE2 and ...

The slow Code Insight could be much faster
Andy's Blog
– If you have medium to large size projects with thousands of units, you either curse Code Insight every time it tries to pop up or you have disabled it because you can’t stand the time it takes to pop up. For small projects Code Insight is fast, but the more units you have the slower it becomes ...
