"Behind the success of success products, there is more secret!"
Chuck's Secret Plan
Chuck is like a hibiscus. Although he is always one of the most important people in Delphi, but always is not willing
Standing at the forefront of the public, but prefer to hide behind the scenes to make a surprising software innovation project. CHUCK
Many developments and research are not well known ...
After Anders left Borland, Chuck became the total Architect of Delphi. However, Chuck
Shortly after Delphi's development work, I will pay Delphi Architect and important work.
Responsible, because Danny has already shown the wind, becoming the most trusted software expert of Chuck. What about Chuck?
Although he is still responsible for many important work in Delphi, most of the time is spent in new technologies and new
Among the secret research of the product. For some Delphi routine work, Chuck does not cost too much time.
In the development phase of Delphi 3, Chuck's main energy is not on Delphi 3 because Danny and Zack bear
Good responsibility. Chuck was mainly two important research and development work, namely Delphi's Java compiler and
Apollo program.
It turned out that when developing Delphi 3, Anders and Chuck had predicted that Java will succeed in the future and become heavy.
The language and software technology. Therefore, Anders and Chuck know that there must be some ways to do in Java.
Keep Delphi 's competitiveness in the rain. Later Anders left Borland, and Chuck chose to put it.
Resources study Delphi and Java integrated technology. At that time, CHUCK's idea was why it could not develop a similar
Java's JVM, directly convert Delphi's program code to Java's Bytecode, let Delphi's application
Directly executed in JVM? Even, when Chuck also thought, why Borland does not develop a Delphi
JVM, can Delphi can also be implemented in Windows, Linux, Solaris and Mac OS?
After this crazy thoughts, Chuck immediately asked Borland's high-level approval of this research plan to let him
Enough enough to study work. Since the positive value Anders is not enough research capital because it is dissatisfied with Borland
The source left Borland, entered the MICROSoft's exhibition. Therefore, the high level of the Borland is of course not willing.
Defense Chuck, so as not to leave Borland. Since the progress of Delphi 3 at the time,
Delphi brings a lot of resources for Borland, so the high-level Borland's high-level approval of this incredible
Plan, let Chuck began research roads.
After Chuck has resources, it immediately puts the field of research, and there is no flower in the end of Delphi 3.
The time is in Delphi, but accelerates the compiler team of Borland into the Delphi for Java compiler.
R & D work. In 1997, Chuck had preliminary results and it is already able to put some simple
The Object Pascal program is directly compiled into Java's Bytecode and is executed in JVM. This is really a
Not small breakthrough, so in Borcon 1997 in the year, Borland and Chuck were officially disclosed.
Surgery, immediately caught strong interest in delphi users, as this representative once this compiler was developed,
Then Object Pascal immediately became a cross-platform program language like Java, and if
Borland can continue to transplant VCL and RTL, then, the Delphi programmer of the Windows platform can develop multiple platform applications through this technology, which is so wonderful.
When Borcon disclosed this technology, Borland immediately faced the inclusion of more and more Delphi users.
And ask Borland to launch pressure on this technology as soon as possible. Of course, Chuck and Delphi R & D team are also very
Excited, because this represents Delphi will have new markets and new growth motivation, so Chuck immediately request
Borland put more resources to accelerate this Delphi for Java compiler and related research workers
Work.
However, at this time, two things have occurred, and finally let Chuck give up to continue to develop Delphi for Java compiler.
the purpose. First, Chuck and Borland's compiler development team found JVM seems to be tooled in Java language.
Tight, so that many of the pseudo-instructions of JVM are set together with the architecture of the Java language, they cannot easily
The architecture similar to the Java language is provided unless these language architectures are modified to simulate the Java language architecture. This one
The reason creates when Chuck wants to compile Object Pascal some complex data types and language architecture into Java
It has taken great difficulties when Bytecode.
The second decisive reason is that because JBuilder has been getting better, Borland hopes to invest.
More resources to the JBuilder group, and do not want to have other products or technology to affect the growth of JBuilder,
Therefore, the high-level Borland's high-level development is not very interesting for Delphi for Java compilation technology, and then
There is no approval of more resources to Chuck. Finally, Chuck's Delphi for Java Compile Plan announced
Terminate. This is a unfortunate thing, but when the things in Chuck study did not have a white fee, because now
In the Delphi group, based on the results of the Chuck study at the time, the compiler on .NET, I hope
Enter resources and experience to develop a better Delphi for .NET compiler.
Another research plan in the Delphi 3 development phase is more important. I am updated at the time.
I hope that this technology can appear above the market, but unfortunately, finally because of Borland high-level requirements Chuck.
Invest and developing Kylix's R & D work has been delayed today, it is still in the software laboratory, which is DATA.
Apollo Plan for Component Technology.
The Apollo project will start from Delphi 2. When Delphi 2 is developed, Anders always wants to be in Delphi.
Create a Garbage Collection function, while Chuck wants to continue to expand the VCL function as VCL plus
Enter the power of Data Component. Data perception group is used due to the component architecture used by the VCL in connection data
Data aware technology, but many of the active programmers who are using object-oriented technology doway
The assembly is quite inductively, and in large-scale object-oriented items, data-perceptual components are also proven to be inappropriate.
Therefore, Chuck determines the ability to develop large-scale object-oriented projects to impart VCLs, decide to join Data Component technology.
.
The so-called Data Component technology means that the VCL architecture can represent Domain objects in the actual world, these
Domain objects can be stored directly in the database through VCL technology, or removed from the database, similar EJB
OR MAPPING (Object-Relational Mapping) technology. As a result, Delphi's programmer can
In Delphi, use VCL components directly to represent instances such as employees and companies (instance), and you can save employees and company instances to the database at any time, and then remove employees and companies from the database, not
You need to use the data access object to directly process the data in the database. Chuck I want to be in Delphi as early as five or six years ago.
The Object Instance Technology provided by companies such as Bold is now realized.
Unexpectedly, when the Apollo project was taken in Chuck, due to the CEO Dale of Borland at the time.
Mr. Fuller is optimistic about Linux, so all members of the Delphi team must be put into Linux.
The development of development tools is fully committed to Kylix, so even CHUCK is also required to be suspended first.
Plan, put into Kylix's development work. In fact, I was very opposed to the top talent like Chuck.
The Kylix team writes program code because it is really wasteful. Chuck should make more important
Research plans, rather than only develop a general tool. However, the high level of Borland considered Linux at the time.
Lead Borland flew through the sky, so I still insist that all the human resources must be put. However, the market is changing
So fast, after Chuck and Danny put into Kylix development, although the Delphi team is almost recorded
The time has developed a new product line in a new platform in about 1 and a half, but launched in Kylix.
After that, the crazy boom of the Linux platform began to fade quickly. All manufacturers putting Linux can no longer be in touch
On the name of Linux, the stock can make stocks in the date of innovation, the market is going back to the basic point, only the truly profitable
The company can become a winner in the market.
After Chuck was developed by Kylix development, Apollo was no longer like the first time.
Similar technologies have appeared similar technologies, such as EJB OR Mapping Technology and Bold Company's products.
If Borland can make Chuck to develop the Apollo program and launch Apollo before other companies
The results, then Delphi will be able to have leadership in or mapping, Borland's research
Mapping technology may not be used by Sun to be used, just like Oracle spending big money from WebGain. Similar
The same is true. Anders and Chuck two technical characters with first-class technology and vision, more or less
Many ordinary management characters have been ruined several times.
Chuck itself is a very amiable person, I have repeatedly talking to Chuck, chuck each time.
Always smiling, there seems that there is nothing to make him worry. If you don't know Chuck and Chuck conversation,
Then there may be no one will believe that this look like people who have a good gentleman is so amazing in software.
Just and the deep accomplishment, and Chuck closed near the red hair, I was shocked when I saw him for the first time.
When Chuck and Danny were called to develop Kylix, it was not very smooth. After the Kylix activation, according to
Example is R & D work responsible for Linux on Linux on Linux, while Chuck is responsible for VCL and CLX.
Work. Because the integrated development environment is developed on Linux, the underlying RTL and compiler responsible for Danny must be completed.
Being able to start design. However, Danny transplanted Delphi's RTL and compiler to Linux process
Some Linux's bugs were found, so Danny announced the bugs he found in the Linux forum.
And I hope that Linux's community can modify these issues, so Borland can continue to develop Kylix.
However, maybe the Linux community has an emotional emotions, and it has always thought that Borland is not an orthodox Linux software vendor, so for the Linux bug pointed out for Danny, it is considered that Danny does not understand what it is.
Linux's bug. Due to the people in the Linux Forum very unfriendly, and resolutely not admit that Danny proposed
Bug, therefore, it is very unhappy, thinking that the technical staff of the software cannot be on the matter,
There is a problem, but it does not recognize it. So Danny launched a brush battle in the Linux Forum and these people, the increasing sensation,
Finally, I evolved into two people who criticized each other. I also wanted at the time, why clearly Danny has pointed out
Linux has a problematic place, and these are also such a software that does this reaction? These people are not too careful
What about it? Those who are so strong with Danny have been laughing by these Linux people who are not understanding software development.
Difficult tooth, these people should see what Danny made, see if they can do it again.
Since Danny cannot get results and support on the Linux Forum, I simply modify Linux under an angry.
The bug, so that Kylix can continue to develop, no longer need help from these Linux communities. What is this
When you install Kylix, Kylix will not only check the version used by the user Linux, but also install the PATCH file.
To modify the problem of Linux operating system. Danny chose the way to install additional Patch files to solve Linux
The bug, rather than directly modifying the core of Linux, and then distribute Linux Distribution by Borland. then,
After Danny solved some of the bugs of Linux execution period, Kylix was able to develop smoothly.
Later, some XWindow's bugs were found when developing Kylix's integrated development environment in Kylix Group, Danny
Also choose from Borland to modify it, do not need a help of Linux communities.
Of course, due to the war between Danny and Linux communities, Danny made a stomach, after Kylix launched,
The subsequent relevant development work is handed over to the Kylix group, and Danny concentrates on the .NET R & D group for Borland
Developed the next generation of development tools on .NET. Danny leaves Linux is the loss of Linux, these and Danny quarrel
Linux programmers don't know that they lose a genius-type software personnel on Linux. Sometimes I think, some
Is it not constantly attacking a genius? It is no wonder that the ancients said that "no recruitment avoids the mediocrity". I saw Danny Wars Linux
This scene, I can only sigh at the head, but I am very happy to develop Danny and Chuck.
Net products, because I always want to use Borland's development tool to learn and develop .NET applications.
At present, CHUCK works in Borland is to study advanced technology on .NET, including in 2002
Borcon on the new language of Chuck Public display - CHARLOTTE. Charlotte is mainly providing Web Service
The first-class language is the syntax, feature, function and Charlotte compilation of charlotte by chuck definition.
. I really admire these characters like Chuck and Anders, Danny, because these people can almost alone.
Developing and implementing new programming languages, its skill is indeed unimaginable.
On Borcon, Chuck already shows the syntax of Charlotte and the initial compiler, currently in Borland.
Inside .NETTE, Charlotte uses another formal name. In 2003, we can see Chuck and Danny efforts in 2002.
back to the Future
In 2002, Borland launched Delphi 7. Although Microsoft has vowed to show that .NET
It is Windows's future, but the development of Windows applications is still mainstream. But what about the future?
What is Delphi's future?
Borland has announced the world's upcoming development tools in 2003, the first supported language
Will be C # and Object Pascal, and on .NET, Delphi has become synonymous with Object Pascal.
This means that the future is on .NET, Delphi is already a language name, and the user of Delphi will use Delphi.
Language develops a new generation .NET application system on .NET. So what about the Windows platform? Delphi 7 will be the most
Is the next version?
Of course, although it is displayed according to the results of various information surveys, from 2003, .NET will enter the stage of take-off.
But the development of the native Windows program still has a need for three or four years. In this case, then there are many
Users still need native Windows program development tools, Borland will not give up these users and so
Big market, so Borland will also continue to launch new Delphi versions for users.
What's more, even for users who want to develop .NET, there may be a large part of people also need to open
Send the original window application. So why do software vendors do not provide a development tool to allow users?
What do you have to develop native window applications and .NET applications under an integrated development environment? This requirement is
Delphi advantages and opportunities. Look at the features of Delphi 7 now, we will be surprised to find that in fact
Borland has sneaked some innovative practices.
If the reader has installed Delphi for .NET Command-Line in the integrated development environment of Delphi 7
Complier IDE Integration, you can activate in the integrated development environment of Delphi 7 as follows
Delphi for .NET compiler to start writing .NET applications in Delphi 7. In November 2002,
Borland has publicly opened the beta version of VCL.net for Delphi 7 users to download in .NET to use VCLs
Component.
However, many people feel that light is a delphi for .NET compiler and Vcl.Net is not enough. If you want to
Develop .NET WinForm app, then Delphi 7 does not provide form similar to Delphi
Designer, so it is still very inconvenient, Delphi's user still needs a solution.
Let us think about it, although Delphi for .NET is currently not like Delphi Form Designer, but if I
They can use the Delphi itself as the development interface of .NET WinForm, then if
It is possible to convert the Delphi's TFORM and VCL to .NET WinForm and Vcl.net
Have you? In this way, Delphi's users can almost immediately in Delphi under the cost of time.
Develop .NET visualize WinForm applications, is this not a number? That's right, in fact, Borland has long thought.
When it is, Borland is also wanted to develop a Delphi converter to the .NET program to let Delphi's programmer. Such Delphi's programmers can use Delphi's Form Designer to design .NET
The WinForm interface, and finally automatically converts the WinForm application to .NET through the converter.
If the reader uses the Delphi for .NET compiler of Delphi 7, the files in it and Delphi
The name "Morpheus'" can be seen in the forum. In fact, Morpheus is Delphi for .NET compile
Code of the R & D Plan of the Movie [in Movie The Matrix, Morpheus is the one of the Salvian Novi
The leader who did not appear, Morpheus's task was to find the Savior to save the end of the world. So Delphi
The R & D team is very innocent to name the Delphi for .NET compiler Morpheus to represent Delphi for
The NET compiler is the future Borland to launch the Savior before the pure .NET development tool, which is responsible for led the Delphi program.
The staff will go to the future .NET's redemption. The Morpheus program is to lay a successful foundation for Galileo.
Although we are still unclear about the possible features of Delphi 8, but through the needs of the user and the market
Status, you can calculate the following outline:
■ New integrated development environment: This is to make Delphi to develop native windows in integrated development environments
Application, .NET application, Kylix application
■ New VCLs and CLX: You can make VCL simultaneously in the native window and .net. Also Borland will also
Modify VCL / CLX to increase the compatibility of Framework in three platforms
■ New Delphi / Kylix and Delphi.Net compiler: can provide a more also available on Object Pascal language
The effect of the capacity. This is because Borland has joined Object Pascal in Delphi for .NET.
Many new language elements and functions, Borland may also add compilers on Windows and Linux platforms.
These functions
■ More accessories: Help programmers to develop three different application systems
Of course, Delphi 8 will have many other unknown features, but several of the above should be Delphi 8 affirmation.
. If Delphi 8 can really provide the above features, then I believe it will be the highest use rate window
With the except for the programmer, Delphi 8 can provide the most complete development.
ability.
Does Delphi 8 will be a final version of Delphi? I don't know this, the only standard that can be used to judge is
How long can NET fully occupy the application of window development. If there is a day, that is, all native windows retired
When the market is mainstream, just like a DOS development tool a few years ago. I will also ask the reader to put Delphi's last
A version retained, as a testimony we have experienced with the development of native window, and also as this
Once is the best native window development tool.
Delphi Fengyun List
Delphi's development process has created a lot of records and has also created many famous characters. Delphi created
The record is that many development tools are unprofitable, and the outstanding developers around Delphi are also collar,
The legend of Delphi has added more exciting stories. These Delphi records and outstanding Delphi developer story
The readers are taste one by one, especially the delphi users are familiar with or have heard. Although they are not like Delphi
Soul people Anders, Chuck or Danny, well-known, respect, but developing Delphi,
They also have an indelible contribution, where we have also come to see their "Lushan's true face". Delphi integrated development environment
I believe that the user of each Delphi / C Builder spends a lot of time in Delphi / C Builder.
In the development environment, in this way, in addition to Anders, Chuck and Danny, everyone must know
The main leader of the Delphi / C Builder integrates the development environment.
Allen Bauer is a senior engineer of Borland, has worked for a considerable time in Borland. Allen
In addition to the research and development of the development environment, it is also constantly renovating the integrated development environment.
Improve the disclosure of the Delphi / C Builder integrated development environment: The architecture of the Open Tools API. I used to
In the Elevator in Philadelphia, Allen is talking to Allen, and Allen speaks very lightly, giving people a gentleman
feel.
This photo of Allen should be recently, because Allen in the photo is seen when I am in Philadelphia in 1999.
Many old days, it seems that the integrated development environment of Allen has put in the integrated development environment for Delphi / C Builder in recent years.
force. At present, Allen is fully developing a new integrated development environment for Galileo, it is said that Allen will be in new integration.
In the development environment, there are many stronger features. In 2003, we continued to pay attention to Allen's next force.
Ambassador for Borland Rad Tool
I miss Charlie Calvert because I am in all Delphi R & D groups, I and Charlie Calvert
Experience with the most common things. Charlie Calvert belongs to the Borland Developer RelationShip Group
Senior manager, main work is responsible for the development of Borland Rad tools worldwide and coordinates between users
Relationship. Calvert is not only the author of the famous Delphi / C Builder Unleashed book, not for some time
Also wrote the book of JBuilder 7.
Charlie Calvert himself is a vegetarian, very enthusiastic and kind. He is working in Borland's work
Also involved in the work of small sections Delphi and C Builder. Charlie Calvert once said that when Borland is not
When you develop the best tools around the world, it is he left Borland. Two years ago, Charlie Calvert finally left
Opened, this made me very sad, I think his departure is the loss of Borland. I have asked Charlie
Calvert, why is you going to leave Borland? He replied because it was not used to the transformation of Borland at the time (Delbert
In the period of the development of the development tool, I plan to start a business. But amazing is that leaving Charlie Calvert
After Borland, he is still working in Borland related tools, it seems that Charlie Calvert is still
There is a strong love for Borland tools.
Delphi's strong
In addition to the Delphi R & D team, I think the strongest Delphi master should be Ray Lischner. Ray
Lischner boke is actively involved in Delphi's related work from Delphi 1, and later writes a famous Delphi.
The number of books, including "Secrets of Delphi 2", "Hidden Paths of Delphi 3"
And "Delphi in a nutshell" and other good books, their deep Delphi skills are also the Delphi R & D group
Recognize. Since Ray's book has always been convinced, there is also special requests in Delphi 3 to introduce Hidden Paths of Delphi 3, and the Chinese books are performed for Hidden Paths of Delphi 3.
Translation work.
In addition to writing books, every Delphi's new version, Ray participates in the beta test. Ray is a very straightforward
People who don't have a bug or Borland, he will ask Borland to be more
Originally or criticized Borland did not try his best. I used to see Ray wonderful in the Delphi forum inside Borland.
Borland did not make the product well. Especially in Delphi 4, it is not afraid of high-level power pain Borland.
Make up Delphi, see me too much. Although I am Borland, I don't dare to borland's high-rise people.
But what you think is like Ray, and this is in the population of Ray, it really makes me feel
I am so cool, of course, Ray is also "deep, responsible for love". So until now, attending RAD
With beta test, I still like to watch Ray's comments, because Ray's comments are not only deep, but they dare to speak.
It is usually the most helpful forum discussions.
Delphi Double Monitor
Speaking of Steve Teixeira and Xavier Pacheco, two people, I believe that many Delphi programmers are familiar
The best figures, because they are the author of "Delphi Developer's Guide".
Steve Teixeira and Xavier Pache have been members of the Delphi R & D team, but these two people are
Before left, I left Borland, and my respective entrepreneur, after all, I have a boss. Speaking Steve Teixeira
And Xavier Pacheco, a funny thing is that the body of their two is very strong, Steve
Teixeira is young, and Xavier Pacheco is extremely thin, so when Xavier Pacheco stands
When Steve Teixeira is next to Xavier Pacheco is like a child.
I am more familiar with Steve Teixeira, because I have been talking to him in Philadelphia.
Steve TeixEira is responsible for comparing the low-order core in the Delphi R & D team, Steve TeixEira
Let me think of the growth process of Matt Pietrek in Borland. Since Steve Teixeira and Xavier
Pacheco is a member of the Delphi R & D team, so they naturally get the latest, deepest information.
Writing a book.
Delphi COM master
When you use Delphi to learn COM knowledge, you can't mention this famous figures.
Binn LY is also a Chinese in the Delphi Circle. In the case of the multi-layer architecture at the time of Delphi 3
The key function emphasizes that Delphi can write multiple mandatory middleware servers. But understand the Delphi of internal technology
Programmers know that in fact, the middleware server in Delphi 3 can only develop Single Threaded type COM
Server, you can't develop true STA and MTA type COM servers, which is why Delphi 3
The MIDAS server is not ideal for the client user's number of people.
At that time, Mr. Binn LY pointed out the problem of Delphi 3, and decided to develop a real Delphi seal.
Framework for COM technology and provides real STA, APARTMENT, and MTA solutions. This is an amazing project at the time, because even Delphi has not been provided in addition to Microsoft ATL, and
Mr. Binn LY decided to use Object Pascal to develop a complex Framework. later
Mr. Binn LY successfully developed, but also publicly developed the original procedure for Framework on his website.
Code, and also wrote a number of COM and Delphi in-depth technical articles. Although Borland after Delphi 4
I also finally slowly provide a relatively complete COM package technology, but Mr. Binn Ly is in Delphi and COM.
The image of the authority has deeply entered the heart of the Delphi programmer, and he also became a Borland invitation in Borcon.
One of the latts of COM / COM lecture.
VCL. Net Architect
Eddie Churchill is added after Delphi 3 to join the Delphi R & D R & D group, but eddie is
The Delphi R & D R & D team has risen very quickly.
After joining the Delphi R & D team, EDDIE started the research and development of Diagram Designer in Delphi.
For, the original EDDIE work is to prepare for the development of UML function in Delphi for Delphi / C .
Builder provides a full OOA / OOD function.
However, since the Borland's high-level decision and Rational cooperation, and the EDDIE team needs great resources to open
Send, so Borland's RAD department decided to suspend this research and development after the Diagram Designer implementation.
Work. In fact, when Delphi 3, the Delphi product manager at the time would want to join the UML of Delphi.
Can, just have never had enough resources to invest in this area, have been until Delphi 5
Gradually see the preliminary results in this area in Delphi / C Builder.
Now Eddie Churchill and Danny et al. In the development of Borland.Net products, and is vcl.net
Architect, responsible for transplanting VCL into .NET, in Borcon in 2002, eddie churchill
Describes the difficulties and challenges of transplanting VCL to .NET, currently using downloadable Delphi for Delphi
The initial results of Eddie Churchill in Vcl.NET have been seen in Net Preview.
WEBSNAP ancestor
Jim Tierry is the first in the Delphi R & D R & D team shortly after EDDIE Churchill, his first
Work is to take over Delphi's WebBroker technology to start building the next generation of Delphi / C Builder.
Technology, the initial results are the InternetExpress of Delphi 5.
However, after InternetExpress launched, Jim is not satisfied, so start immediately
The next generation of internetExpress is of course WebSnap. WEBSNAP led by Jim
The development team finally launched WebSNAP technology in Delphi 6. But it is also due to resource restrictions,
In Delphi 7, Borland decided to use more complete intraweb as a Delphi's main force in web.
At present, Jim Tierry should be the technology and product of Web under the development .NET, I also hope that in 2003
Have the opportunity to see the top side and let him talk about the current direction.
Delphi Plug-in the first chair, when I use Delphi everyday, a less tool is CODERUSH, which is Eagle Software.
However, some people think that CODERUSH is a bit unstable, but I think Coderush is a very easy tool, of course
This is also why Coderush is almost in the annual product evaluation of Delphi Magazine every year.
Delphi Plug-in tool.
CODERUSH is developed by Mr. Mark Miller, famous Delphi master, but Mark is not only a number of products.
More than Borcon's speaker is often invited. I have been in many places and Mark, in 2000
When Australia's Borcon, I also told Mark's Coderush at the time in Chinese Windows 2000, there was a bug in Chinese.
For the shortcuts I use CODERUSH, CODERUSH will send repetitive characters. Mark takes out
Notebook ques the code of CODERUSH and asked me to open my Notebook show CODERUSH
Bug on a bug. After the Mark learned about the problem, I asked my hotel room, which found that we stayed.
In the same hotel. I didn't think that MARK called to my room, asked me to track this again.
A problem. Later, Mark determined that CODERUSH had no problem, it should be Chinese Windows 2000 in some places.
The way of reason and English Windows are slightly different, this should be the reason for IME, but Mark promises me will
Provide Walk-Around way to overcome this issue. Shortly after I returned to China, I received one of Mark.
The Patch file has been fixed this issue, and its efficiency is amazing. If the reader is also using CODERUSH
This product, that can often go to CODERUSH forum to see Mark's speech, many times of Mark's letters
It was sent in the middle of the night, and the fanatics of Mark's work was indeed surprising, but after Mark had Baby, this
A phenomenon has lessed.
Midas / DataSnap
Borland launched MIDAS in Delphi 3, which has been developed to the current Datasnap. In fact, Borland opened
It is a very big ambition to Midas, preparing to develop MIDAS to standard technology. But with the middle
The parts are changed from RPC as CORBA, COM / COM and EJB, Borland also give up this idea.
Because Borland is not possible to separate intermediate technology to fight against the industry.
So after Delphi 4, Borland began to transform the role of Midas, and positioned MIDAS into a general purpose.
Data Access Processing layer technology allows MIDAS to provide convenient and efficient seals in CORBA, COM / COM
Data access function to make up for these component technology inconvenience in access data - must use a number
According to methods to process data.
Midas's transformation is very correct, because in CORBA, I want to access data in COM / COM is really very
Incommunications, often provide a specific method in the object interface to allow clients to access specific data, and move
Data is also very troubles, while Midas provides a complete solution. It is because of Midas's convenience,
Therefore, Microsoft also plays the ability to imitate MIDAS in ADO, which is more comprehensive in ADO.NET.
The concept is to handle the access of the data. Borland has also transplanted Midas into Java and became jmidas, but by
At the Java world very emphasized the standard, all standards must be set by Sun, and Sun uses JDBC.
Entity Bean and the current JDO to process data, so JMidas will stop development. Delphi 3, MIDAS in Delphi 4 is responsible for different engineers. In Delphi 4 is responsible by Josh
During this period, Josh and Dan Miser cooperate to provide MIDAS technology and solutions, the Dan Miser at the time.
Not Borland's employees, but just Midas's enthusiasts. Later, Josh left Borland, Borland
Just develop MIDAS's maintenance and new version of the work Contract to Dan Miser, so after Delphi 6
DataNAP is developed by Dan Miser, while DAN has also become a DataSnap header.
Since Dan Miser really likes Datasnap, I am willing to work for Borland, so now Dan has arrived in Borland.
Enlightenment, ready to officially become a Bodand, continue to transplant DataSnap to .NET and develop new
DataNAP function.
Delphi Spirit
Marco Cantu This Italian brother should be the character of many Delphi beginners, because Marco
Cantu's "Mastering Delphi" has always been the evergreen tree in Delphi books, and people who are deeply Delphi.
Preferences.
Marco Cantu is often the Borcon's lecturer and the columnist of Delphi-related magazines, but I
I have been listening to Mr. Marco Cantu's lecture because I have chosen other lectures at the same time.
It is a regrettable.
Yuan Lao Zhongchen
The last person I think may be not familiar with many people, but this people have always been Borland development.
One of the horizons in the tool, that is, Mr. Bruneau Babet. Bruneau babet rarely publicly exposed, unless
Readers in Borcon may see him.
Bruneau Babet starts from Borland C / C products from Borland's R & D staff, in Borland C / C
After the end, I also transferred to the Delphi R & D team to develop Delphi, and the focus of Bruneau Babet has always been
COM technology is main.
Well, therefore he also engages in ATL in C Builder, in Borcon, Borcon Babet
The subject matter is mainly the technical support of Borland development tools in COM / COM .
Here, I can't introduce all relevant important people. In addition to the above, many familiar characters,
I didn't introduce Dr. Bob, John Kaster, etc. This is because Dr. Bob and John Kaster
Many people are very familiar, their photos can often be seen on the website, so they are no longer listed as a focus, this
It is the one who is less familiar with readers, let readers who like Delphi / C Builder can take a look at these Jie
The long-term phase of the software personnel, understand their profile, let many people "long-term name" true presented in me
In front of us, as the reference in our study.
