We have Ray Konopka from Raize, who is a marvellous international speaker, and he will be giving us two talks. Malcolm Groves from our local CodeGear is also giving a talk - not that this will be a "CodeGear talk", but Malcolm is a great speaker and a former ADUG Committee member, so it's great to have him involved again. But wait!!! There's more! Our very own Peter Hinrichsen who is another fine presenter, will also supply us with a talk. Check out more details about what awaits you at the above URL.
As always, there will be a fine collection of Prizes for the Prize draw that follows.
Now, why wait, get you registration done now since Prices are currently discounted and will go up closer to the event - and you help us plan things better if we know what the numbers are earlier

CodeGear Introduces Delphi for Win32
SCOTTS VALLEY, Calif. – Feb. 20, 2007 – CodeGear, a leader in developer tools, today announced Delphi® 2007 for Win32 ®, a new version of the award-winning rapid application development (RAD) environment with new support for Microsoft® Windows Vista™ and AJAX.
Now developers have the ability to quickly and easily build rich client applications that are enhanced to support Microsoft Windows Vista Aero user interfaces and dynamic AJAX enabled corporate Web applications. Delphi for Win32 also includes the new DBX 4 database architecture that supports the latest versions of the most popular RDBMSs used today including Microsoft SQL Server, InterBase® from CodeGear, MySQL®, and Oracle®, broadening the appeal for the already popular development platform.
“Built for ISVs, system integrators, VARs and small to medium enterprises, Delphi for Win32 enables customers to develop ultra high-performance native Microsoft Windows applications on either Microsoft XP or Vista that not only support both platforms, but are enhanced on Vista,” said Michael Swindell, vice president of products and strategy for CodeGear.
“Support for both Microsoft XP and Vista helps developers get a jump-start in leveraging Microsoft’s new visual operating system while continuing to support their existing Windows users. New VCL for the Web allows developers to rapidly and visually build dynamic data-driven corporate Web applications with rich AJAX user interfaces,” continued Swindell.
New features and capabilities provided by Delphi for Win32 include:
- Support for Microsoft Windows Vista and AJAX
- Development on Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP or Vista, and deployment on Windows 2000, Windows XP and Vista
- Microsoft MSBuild support for enhanced build flexibility and third-party support
- A new DBX 4 database architecture that streamlines database connectivity
- Built-in support for the latest versions of InterBase, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle and other RDBMSs
- Themed application support
- VCL support for Microsoft Windows Vista Aero glassing effects, Vista file dialogs and task dialogue components
- VCL for the Web with AJAX support
Backwards compatibility with Developer Studio 2006 components from CodeGear
“Delphi for Win32 sports hundreds of quality improvements that make both Delphi and applications built in Delphi more reliable and robust than ever. It also includes the latest versions of popular third-party products such as TeeChart, Indy, and Rave Reports,” said Nick Hodges, Delphi product manager at CodeGear. |

CodeGear Launches Delphi for PHP for RAD Web Development
CodeGear Revolutionizes PHP Development with Visual RAD IDE and Component Architecture
SCOTTS VALLEY, Calif. – Feb. 20, 2007 – CodeGear, a leader in developer tools, today announced Delphi® for PHP, a component-based rapid application development (RAD) IDE, and VCL for PHP, an open source visual component library.
Delphi for PHP brings RAD productivity benefits to PHP Web developers that Delphi users have enjoyed for years. PHP is the most prominent dynamic Web language today and one of the top 10 programming languages overall. Delphi for PHP is designed to take PHP development to the next-level by making it faster and easier to develop rich, database-driven Web applications.
“CodeGear developer tools are the finest on the market and Delphi for PHP is no exception,” said Jonathan Benedicto, owner of JomiTech, a developer tools company based in Ontario, Canada.
“As a long-time PHP developer, I quickly adopted Delphi for PHP as my favorite editor. The VCL for PHP offers the familiar Delphi design with tremendous RAD-oriented capabilities. I am now able to simply decouple the GUI from the actual webpage logic code by using the integrated page templating feature. Delphi for PHP truly takes PHP development to the next level,” said Benedicto.
“When it comes to creating dynamic Web applications, PHP developers have had basic source code editing and debugging tools; what's really missing for PHP has been Rapid Development tools and component frameworks that rival modern tools, like Visual Studio® and Delphi and frameworks like ASP.NET and VCL,” said Michael Swindell, CodeGear vice president of products and strategy.
“Delphi for PHP offers all the features and functionality needed to rapidly and visually create powerful PHP applications, new PHP components, and package existing PHP code into reusable visual components. Delphi for PHP does this all with seamless support for MySQL®, InterBase® from CodeGear, and other SQL databases and it does it with an open source VCL for PHP. Microsoft®® RAD developers will now have the familiarity and ease of use that Delphi and C++Builder® have always provided, and can move into PHP development with speed and confidence,” said Swindell. Windows
Important features of Delphi for PHP include:
- RAD environment for PHP
- VCL for PHP – Open source PHP 5 visual component library with more than 50 extendable and reusable components with seamless AJAX integration
- Out-of-the-box database integration with InterBase, MySQL, Oracle®, Microsoft SQL Server, and other popular databases
Integrated PHP debugger
- Deployment of PHP applications on Windows, Linux, Solaris and other platforms
- Internationalization support for applications
- Drag and drop database application development using the Data Explorer for InterBase and MySQL
- Code editor with Code Insight, Code Explorer, and Code Templates, making it easier and faster to write PHP code
VCL for PHP is based on the most popular open source PHP scripts and libraries, including Qooxdoo, Adodb, DynAPI, Smarty, XAjax and JSCalendar. Inspired by VCL for Delphi, the component architecture is 100 percent written in PHP. Developers can create and integrate components into the IDE and extend the existing components to fit their needs. VCL for PHP is an open source library available on SourceForge at http://sourceforge.net/projects/vcl4php.
Delphi for PHP is part of a family of products from CodeGear that includes Delphi 2007 for Win32, Delphi .NET, C#Builder, C++ Builder and Developer Studio. Developers will be able to hear more about these products, as well as JBuilder® 2007 and InterBase, at the first-ever CodeRage 2007 Virtual Developer Conference - March 12-16. This online developers conference will feature more than 50 technical sessions, covering topics that are all the rage this year. Registration and agenda details will be available at http://conferences.codegear.com/coderage07.

Dear Developer Tools Group customers, partners and fans, I am very excited and pleased to announce CodeGear, a new organization that will be 100% dedicated to the developer tools market, providing innovative products that maximize individual developer productivity. CodeGear will have its own brand, its own management team, R&D organization, sales and marketing strategy, and a separate global operating infrastructure.
This is an exciting time for everyone here at CodeGear, as we now are a separate business solely focused on you - the developer community.
CodeGear has many great things going for it that very few other startups have: a 23-year legacy of innovation helping developers to be more productive at their ever-changing jobs, a large and loyal customer base, and multi-year product roadmaps that have been co-developed over the last year with our customers. We also have an extremely talented team of enthusiastic and experienced individuals who are dedicated to this community and finding new ways of serving this very important market. The entire CodeGear team wants to thank you for all of your support over the last year as we've made the necessary decisions and operational changes to get us to this point. After a lengthy due diligence process with several serious bidders, Borland determined that forming CodeGear was the best way to not only maximize the value of the former Developer Tools Group, but to ensure the brightest future for CodeGearâs IDE product lines, and the customers and developer community that depend on them.
Going forward, CodeGear will be responsible for advancing Developer Studio (Delphi®, C++Builder® and C#Builder®), JBuilder® 2007, Turbo⢠and InterBase®, for which we already have solid roadmaps in place. Our plan is to execute as we've promised, and to continue to deliver new innovative products such as our recent release of JBuilder Java⢠IDE built on the Eclipse framework. Weâre also working on plans that can help developers take advantage of growing and emerging areas like web services, Ruby, Python and Ajax. Stay tuned!
We will continue to keep you updated on CodeGear news and events on the existing Developer Network site and our own CodeGear site.
Iâm extremely excited to be working hand-in-hand with the rest of the CodeGear leadership team as we continue to bring you the most powerful, innovative developer-focused tools on the market.
Ben Smith CEO, CodeGear |
