Get Kids Coding with IoT Across all industries, coding is quickly becoming a crucial skill for the 21st-century workplace. Finding ways to teach kids how to program without becoming bored can be a challenge for parents. That's where the Internet of

In this post, we'll look at the steps to use the Sencha ExtJS library to create a Web Client to connect and get data from our RAD Studio’s RAD Server (also available with Delphi and/or C++ Builder)! Before We Get Started: In

Introduction CMake is a popular C++ build tool. RAD Studio 10.2.3 Tokyo provides support for building CMake projects on the command line using RAD Studio compilers. 10.2.3 also specifically supports using Ninja with CMake, allowing for very fast parallel builds. This will allow you to easily build

Introduction The RFC-2822 standard specifies a syntax for text messages that are sent between computer users, within the framework of "electronic mail" messages.  The RFC-2822 specifies lines should be no longer than 78 characters, and the MIME spec RFC-2045, says: The encoded output stream

Introduction In C++Builder 10.2.2, Embarcadero has added a new component to the FireDAC BatchMove architecture, to support generating JSON data from database tables, in an easy and flexible way. RAD Studio (Delphi and C++ Builder) has offered support for JSON in different

Every once in a while, I get a request to help migrate Borland OWL applications to C++ Builder VCL applications. Background The Object Windows Library (OWL) is a C++ object-oriented application framework designed to simplify desktop application development for Windows. OWL was introduced by Borland in 1991 and eventually deprecated in 1997

RAD Studio 10.2.2 includes a RAD Server single site deployment license in Enterprise and Architect editions and adds new FireMonkey Quick Edit support, plus many additional features and benefits as described in What's New in RAD Studio 10.2.2.            Let's take

As an Embarcadero Software Consultant, I’m often asked to help migrate legacy Delphi and C++ Builder code to the current versions. Developers have commented that their migrations were easier than they thought! Here are two recent Code Rage Sessions showing

One basic question I get asked is how can I convert arbitrary JSON into some kind of data structure such that I can extract useful data? One solution is to use the TRESTDataSetAdapter with arbitrary JSON. The TRESTDataSetAdapter and TClientDataSet components convert the JSON representation into a dataset. The TRESTDataSetAdapter

I continue to get customer requests for options to migrate legacy RAD Studio, Delphi or C++ Builder applications using the Borland Database Engine (BDE) with Paradox and/or dBase files.              With the current versions of RAD Studio,

I've started to get requests to use FireDAC with Cloud Databases, like SQL Azure.  The question whether or not to put your business data in the cloud is getting easier and easier these days and a lot of that is

On this webinar we learned how to migrate from older editions of Delphi with some stories of what to look for and how to update your code (including tools and resources to help you along the way) This webinar focused
