Delphi is your solution for rapidly building high performance Windows applications.

Delphi® 2009 provides all the tools needed to build rich, powerful Windows applications with ease. Combining a bountiful component library, an intuitive editor, and a fullfeatured debugger, Delphi 2009 provides the developer with everything needed to build all types of Windows applications. From the desktop to the web to the server, Delphi 2009 is the tool of choice for Windows developers.

 

New Delphi 2009 Opens a World of Opportunity

Delphi 2009 helps you meet the challenges of the rapidly expanding global market, and expand the reach of your applications to more users. But that’s just the beginning.

• Give your user interfaces a fresh, updated look with new and enhanced VCL controls.
• Build applications that handle global data with ease using new Unicode support throughout the IDE and VCL
• Move your code into the future with the addition of generics and anonymous methods to the Delphi language
• Build powerful, efficient and secure database applications by separating data and business logic with new DataSnap
• Get new insight into your database structures with data modeling and visualization in the all new Delphi Architect edition

Managing Data Strategically

Data yields information when its definition is understood or readily available and it is presented in a meaningful context. Yet even the information that may be gleaned from data is incomplete because data is created to drive applications, not to inform users. Metadata is the data that holds application data definitions as well as their operational and business context, and so plays a critical role in data and application design and development, as well as in providing an intelligent operational environment that's driven by business meaning.

Only by presenting data together with its definitions in a meaningful context together with the available online content, and supporting any random combination of queries and actions, can organizations fully harness and
exploit their data assets. These data semantics, effectively applied, enable smarter query and reporting functionality across the entire IT environment, and they enable the delivery of information, derived from structured data, that is meaningful and actionable for the user.

With a unified, global approach to enterprise data, organizations can ensure accuracy, manage regulatory compliance, and ensure that the data infrastructure constantly maps to business needs.

Building User Interfaces with Delphi 2009

The following whitepaper discusses Building User Interfaces with Delphi 2009. Here Marco Cantù covers relevant extensions that Delphi 2009 provides to the VCL library for the development of modern-looking user interfaces. With Delphi 2007 already providing significant support for Windows Vista, Delphi 2009 offers enhancements to several standard controls, from button to edit boxes, so that they'll easily adapt to the latest features provided by the Windows API.

Build Native Windows Applications | Secrets of Delphi 2009

http://www.thecoderage.com/

Delphi 2009 is the fastest way to build native Windows applications. Delphi® is the RAD Visual development environment for software and database application developers who need to rapidly deliver high performance and easy-to-maintain software applications.

* Increase productivity with time-saving IDE and tools

* Speed development with drag-and-drop functionality and component library

* Easily connect with all your data across multiple sources

INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY WITH TIME-SAVING IDE AND TOOLS

Delphi’s IDE has features that help speed coding so developers can focus on framework design, code logic, and algorithms while rapidly finding the information they need and avoiding coding errors. Features such as Code Completion, Error Insight, Help Insight, Class Completion, Block Completion, and Live Templates enable developers to write code at the speed of thought. The Resource Manager handles the addition of Windows resources to an application, while a full-featured debugger makes examining the internals and execution of code completely transparent. Component-based development and design with new Office-style ribbon controls and Windows XP and Vista theming let you create rich user interfaces with just a few clicks of the mouse.

Classic Database Development Mistakes

Embarcadero Technologies is a database tools and application development tools software company. The following video highlights some Classic Database Development Mistakes, presented by Scott Walz.

• Data is growing at mind bending speed
• The number and diversity of applications is striving to keep up with market demand, which is further driving data growth
• More and more people are needed to manage the data and create the applications
• Nearly 16 million application developers today, growing at nearly 2 million annually
• Time to market, quality, and predictability of software systems continues to plague the software industry
• Customers need tools that address development of the entire system

There are still a few die hard developers out there that are using Delphi 7. They do so in the face of an overwhelming onslaught of features and capabilities of the latest version of Delphi, Delphi 2009. Nick Hodges will discuss ten reasons why Delphi 7 developers should upgrade to Delphi 2009. Now, mind you, I am limiting this article to ten items. It could easily be way more than that. But I figure that if these ten aren’t enough, I can write “Ten More Reasons to Upgrade from Delphi 7”.
