Sacrificial Architecture

Interesting piece on why writing code that you plan or expect to eventually replace can be a good thing.

Docker is a container for distributed apps, sort of like a VM, but without the OS inside the VM, and it seems like it is going to be big.

I’ve only just learned of it, but naturally one of my first questions are – would it be possible to target Docker with Delphi apps? Would it be more interesting to target Docker than to do Delphi Linux Support?

A big thanks to Nick Hodges for including this community as “a good place for Delphi folks to be”.

We could also consider reviving the trusty old Google Groups

groups.google.com/forum/#!forumsearch/borland.public.delphi.*

Has a WebUI, supports NNTP and email digests – allows embedding in web sites.

Best of all – zero maintenance

Interesting. RemObjects Software is adding Swift (as in Apple’s new language) support to their toolset, allowing mixing it with Oxygen/RemObjects C# on Android/Java and .NET.  

They’ve also added a new IDE named Fire on OSX.
