Great news regarding the language-features: generics, unicode support, anonymous methods.

Tim Anderson has posted a great summary on his blog, click here to read the article.

CodeGear Delphi 2009 is available on checkoutsoftware.com.

Michael Swindell, head of Embarcadero product management, has announced great news about the future of Delphi:

“Today things like supporting more of the .NET framework flavors (Silverlight, WPF, etc) and keeping up with the latest language and framework releases is of much higher importance.”

Thanks to this post by Marco Cantù, I’ve found two interesting articles by Justin James about the future of the Embarcadero/CodeGear development environments:

• CodeGear: Working hard to rejuvenate its legacy;
• CodeGear: Extending the Borland legacy to Ruby and PHP developers.

Justin states that ”CodeGear’s .NET products are expanding in new directions, which include RIA development and targeting other platforms (through systems such as Mono)”.

Will we be able to write rich internet applications using Delphi and targeting both .NET and Mono platforms?

This article, by Nick Hodges, illustrates some useful resources (videos, documentation, technical informations) about CodeGear RAD Studio 2007, Delphi 2007 for Win32 and C++ Builder 2007.

I have found very interesting the following videos:

• Overview of CodeGear RAD Studio 2007

• MasterPages in ASP.NET with Delphi for .Net

• WCF programming: Part 1 and Part 2 – Click here to Download
• ECO IV development: View Download

This example illustrates how to use objects written in different languages using CORBA protocols and standards.
