Borland IDEs spin off

February 8, 2006 | Filed by Marius under: delphi

A wierd news just came on my newsreader:

Borland plans separate company for Delphi, JBuilder, C++Builder, InterBase, JDataStore and other developer products… link

If I get it right, Borland would sell its IDEs (Delphi, C++Builder, JBuilder, Kylix etc) or more generally its developer tools as a separate company to whomever would want it. More later.

Old ideas die hard

February 6, 2006 | Filed by Marius under: web dev, rails, delphi

In the RadRails blog an old idea has surfaced:

I’ve been tossing around this idea in my head and as I use RadRails more the need for a solution is clear. As you develop a rails application you constantly need to flip between view files and the controller where the actions reside. This is a point of lost productivity. Let’s fix it.

Wow. I mean just WOW! Man, sometimes it feels good to have been a Delphi developer for some time :) People! This feature exists from Delphi 1.0, this means since … 1995! Really, I am glad to see new, web, people coming to same ideas as those your favorite tool had since it’s beginnings. It just confirms the usability of this feature, it makes me feel like Rails and Delphi might belong to a family, in a way (a MVC frameworks family?). I saw recently some blog discussion about something similar regarding to Java/Eclipse and C#/VS.Net lacking the same feature.

In fact, the way I used Websnap until now is very similar to the templated approach of Rails. If only the Delphi community would not be this fatiguée, I feel Delphi didn’t say it’s last nor even first word (OK, maybe Webbroker was a good try) on the web development.
