ITDevCon 2017 Spring Edition has been a success! Beyond the good crowd of loyal Delphi italian programmers that usually comes to ITDevCon, also a good number of new guys were coming to the “Spring Edition”. Maybe because the SE is shorter, maybe because all the speeches were in italian, maybe because the Linux support attracted new people… maybe for all these things (we are still giving a full meaning to the surveis took during the conference).

Yes, we did it! As we anticipated at the last ITDevCon in Rome (oct 2016) in 2017 we organized another appointment with ITDevCon, called Spring Edition. The Spring Edition is shorter than the classic edition and it is only in italian language, but offers the usual high-level contents that the ITDevCon brand usually does.

In the last months some of the great 9 DelphiMVCFramework contributors from all over the world, have worked hard to release the version 3.0. Now it is ready to be tested! DelphiMVCFramework is one of the most popular RESTful framework for Delphi, so any change has been accurately considered and also its impact on the current 2.

Now that Delphi can compile for Linux, I’d like to show how to use Delphi REDIS client on Linux. Redis is a very powerful key-value store server used by the biggest companies in the world. While it is very popular in web applications with thousands of concurrent users, also traditional desktop applications can benefits by REDIS.

Yesterday and the day before, I was been the presenter for the RAD Studio 10.2 Tokyo Live Preview in Rome and Milan. There were a lot of interested people. As we all know, the Linux support was really awaited for the last 15 years or so (since the kylix time frame) all this interesting was awaited.

\ Since some days ago, Delphi Redis Client, the official redis client for Delphi, is available through GetIt. You can get the library with just a click, now there aren’t reasons to be afraid by Redis utilization :-) More info and the (very simple) installation instruction at the dedicated page.

Just a quick note to leave documentation for other Delphi and C++Builder developers around here. After installing the RAD Studio 10.1 Berlin Update 2 my RAD Studio installation was broken. The installation reach the end but when I start RAD Studio I get a lot of messages of “Package raise exception XXX do you want to load the next time?

In about 2 weeks ITDevCon 2016 will start! The agenda is final since one week already, with most of the speeches already defined months ago. You can check the agenda here: http://www.itdevcon.it/en/agenda We have 15 speakers from all over the world, from Brazil to Slovenia, from Germany to Italy; lot of contents, lot of topics.

Delphi Cookbook 2nd Edition was published by PacktPub at the end of June 2016. I’m very happy to see that in just 30 days, it has become a bestseller in its category. So far, the book has sold 13 copies each day, which is a good figure for a tech book (it should increase in the following months because the book will be available in more stores).
