Last week I returned from Brazil where I had been to speak to the Delphi Conference. The conference was held in St. Paul who, like many Brazilians will be able to confirm, is not a typical Brazilian city. The warmth of local people has been exemplary. Andreano Lanusse has organized all in a really valuable way.

Tomorrow I’m leaving from Rome to go to São Paulo (Brasil) for the annual Delphi Conference. This is the Brasilian Delphi Conference web site: http://latam.embarcadero.com/br/delphiconference/. I’ve a talk about Delphi and Android. I’m really excited for all the cool things that can be done with this technologies. For the conference talk, I’ve developed a DEMO Android application to manage customers and orders that use some mobile technologies available in the Android OS in my Samsung Galaxy S.

This year, the launch of the new RADSTUDIO XE has been really nice. We have met some friends and customers exciting to see the new Delphi features and capabilities. In the event of Rome there was DavidI too. The agenda has been the following: Embarcadero Update + XE and All-Access (DavidI)

In the last weeks (years) we have talk very often of the new compilers that should be in Delphi. Win64, MacOS, Linux, Other… OK, we want Delphi everywhere but… Delphi is the VCL! So why dont talk about ideas for it? What are the 2 most needed features for the VCL?

My yesterday post about this busy time, have raised some interest about DORM, the Delphi ORM. So, also if I still haven’t released any files, wish to expose some internals about DORM. DORM is an implementation of the DataMapper design pattern written having Hibernate in mind. It’s completely unit tested and have the following features:

This is a very busy time. Some news: RAD STUDIO XE is out The ITDevCon time table will be published ASAP. This year I’m working to create a Time Table even more interesting than the last year (not simple!). The speakers will talk about DELPHI XE, RADPHP XE and a*LOT* of DataSnap.

Also this year I was at Delphi Day with many others bit Time co-workers. This year I did a speech about Continuous Integration and Unit Test with Delphi. I showed some of the methodologies and tools that we used in bitTime for long and for whom we also offer training.

My interview at PHP Day 2010 has been published on php.html.it. This is the link to the article. This is the video on youtube. The interview is only in italian language.

This time a very fast post… For the third year in a row, I will talk at the PHP Day in Italy organized, as usual, by the friends of GRUSP. My speech will be about Continuous Integration and PHP, with a little introduction to Hudson. This is the main conference website.

Some month ago I wrote a simple article about an MVP variant called PassiveView. That example was very simple. Now I’ll present a more “advanced” version of that example. The main problem with first example was the following method: procedure TfrmCalculatorView.FormCreate(Sender: TObject); begin //Link controls with related interface IFirstOperand := TGUIEdit.
