In my original introduction to Cirrus framework I drew up a basic method result caching attribute for Delphi Prism. This weekend I thought I’d give it another go and try to create a more general purpose Caching Aspect that integrates with a well known Cache library. I decided to use the opportunity to experiment with [...]

In my last post I covered dynamically compiling code with Delphi Prism and this time I’m going to introduce dynamically creating code which could then be written out to a source file or compiled from in memory. You might want to generate code dynamically for a wide variety of reasons, whether it be to bootstrap [...]

Delphi Prism and the .NET Framework are both extremely powerful tools and bring a lot of flexibility that Delphi for Win32 cannot necessarily provide, particularly when it comes to reflection and code generation. I recently started a project where I wanted to be able to compile a string with Delphi Prism code into an assembly without hacking my [...]

The May 2009 Release of Delphi Prism introduced the Cirrus layer that provides Delphi Prism developers access to a library for Aspect Oriented Programming natively for the first time. The AOP Wikipedia article has a much more detailed explaination than I could provide but for those who don’t want to read the full article AOP [...]

I have in the past written up a few tips for converting a Delphi.NET project to Delphi Prism but this time I thought it might be useful for me to write up my experiences on converting this C# Project to Delphi Prism by initially using the C#ToPas Tool from RemObjects. Many of you who attended CodeRage [...]

Continuing my look at Delphi Prism, in my previous post I took a (very short) look at some of the compatibility changes required to port my Delphi.NET  Twitter Library to Delphi Prism, I mentioned that I now needed to learn about some of the new language features provided by Prism.
Ever since the release of Delphi.NET [...]

As we know, now that the future of Delphi.NET is Delphi Prism (based on the RemObjects Oxygene compiler) we have to migrate our Delphi.NET projects to be compatible with the Prism compiler.
The Easiest way to get started is to look at the free Oxidizer tool provided on the RemObjects Wiki. The tool helps with the [...]

Delphi programming is currently being rejuvenated on so many different levels. I was pleased to see that in the November 2008 TIOBE Index of Programming Languages Delphi shot up to 8th place (only .020% behind c#). I believe that this is partially on the excellent efforts of my good friend Jim McKeeth whose community herding has helped [...]
