- The Itinerant Developer blogged about a Firemonkey Container for VCL forms in July, I missed it then, if you did too, check it out. Pretty cool.
- Nick Hodge's awesome new book mentions Delphi-Mocks by Vincent Parrett. I'm playing with this right now, to increase my unit-testing powers. If you never read Vincent's intro post about it, this is a good read, even though it's been a year. I get the idea that lots of people still haven't seen the need for this yet, which means they aren't testing enough.
- If you still haven't downloaded it, you owe it to yourself to go get Andreas Hausladen's latest IDE Fix Pack for your Delphi/RAD Studio. Thanks Andreas for building such a great add-on. I use it and swear by it, for Delphi XE2, XE4, and XE5 which are the versions I have active coding duties in right now.
