I still haven’t the time to do an heavy test but the first “fast-and-dirty” test give some results, and I’d like to share my little tests.

By default, stadalone WebBroker DataSnap servers do not allow to use the “new” HTML5 Application Cache file manifest. While I was preparing the contents and the demos of my “HTML5 and DataSnap web application development” (with more than 250 slides and more than 50 samples. More info here) I’ve configured the DataSnap components to support this HTML5 feature.

Last week I was busy with the event “RAD Studio XE3 World Tour”, held in 3 different cities: Milan, Rome and Dubai. In Milan we had a lot of attendees, the developers were looking forward to see the last RAD Studio XE3 features.

Some weeks ago a customer asked to me if it is possibile serialize a TList of objects. “Hey, you should use a TObjectList for this”, I said, but he absolutely needs (I dont know why) of a TList. This is the (simple) sample code tested with Delphi XE2 Update4. Enjoy.

Great news for all the dorm and Spring4D users! As you probably know, finally has been announced the official Spring framework for Delphi. There is a lot of good technology in Spring4D! So, I’m glad to announce that in a future version (hopefully, the next one) dorm, “The Delphi ORM” will use Spring4D and will become the ORM part of Spring4D.
