Good Delphi Blogs?

Question

I just saw http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~rkennedy/ which appears to be a very interesting in-depth blog about the Delphi programming language, compiler, and IDE. At the more basic level we also have http://delphi.about.com/, and http://delphibasics.co.uk. You can also have fun for a few minutes at http://scalabium.com/faq/dc_tips.htm.

What are the most interesting blogs and sites devoted to Delphi? I am in particular interested in content at the advanced level.

Summary

I made a small effort to categorize the links:

• C = Collection of links to other sites
• † = Possibly Dead: No longer updated?
• * = OP's Personal Favourite :)
  • My first impression of this site made my want to read more on the site.
• NT = Non-technical stuff.
  • Mainly not about technical details, but about the Embarcadero products, general discussions about the "Delphi market" etc.

Answer 1

www.DelphiFeeds.com - All Delphi blogs in one place - Delphi community and news

Answer 2

Start with Nick Hodges: http://blogs.embarcadero.com/nickhodges/ And follow his links to other blogs.

Answer 3

It hasn't been updated in 2 years, but Hallvard Vassbotn's was excellent, and covered a lot of low-level tricks and hacks.

Raymond Chen's The Old New Thing covers the Windows API, rather than Delphi specifically, but if you do any GUI development at all it's invaluable.

Answer 4

Back when I had time to sync my iPod I listened to the podcast at Delphi.org a lot. It was pretty informative as to the new happenings in the world of Delphi although podcasts don't usually go into advanced detail.

Answer 5

The Delphi Geek is very good reading. Primoz Gabrijelcic provides good insight into concepts like threading and enumerators.

Answer 6

Delphi Feeds will keep you updated, but Marco Cantu's blog is one you'll want to read if you want advanced bleeding edge Delphi stuff.

Answer 7

Embarcadero's blog page has some interesting posts. Expect to see some good database content, too.

Not to state the obvious, but I like to look at Stack overflow's most recent Delphi questions. Not exactly a blog, but plenty of food for thought.

Answer 8

EurekaLog's blog though isn't updated often, but it already contains some useful materials related to debugging, exceptions and so on. And most material is not EurekaLog-specific.

Answer 9

Andreas Hausladen: http://andy.jgknet.de/blog/?p=791

Craig Stuntz (TeamB): http://blogs.teamb.com/craigstuntz

The blogs by Halvard Vassbotn and Raymond Chen (The Old New Thing) as mentioned by Craig Peterson.

From Embarcadero blog page look for the ones by Allen Bauer http://blogs.embarcadero.com/abauer and Pawel Glowacki: http://blogs.embarcadero.com/pawelglowacki/ though many times they are reporting on events, they also have some interesting technical posts.

If you want to know all about RTTI and many other things compiler related, go to Barry Kelly: http://blog.barrkel.com/

Edit: Just realized url of Craig Stuntz' blog indicates that the teamb website http://teamb.com, has its own aggregation of blogs by TeamB members: http://blogs.teamb.com. You'll find the blogs of these TeamB members there: Chris Uzdavinis, Craig Stuntz, Dave Nottage, Deborah Pate (excellent articles on Office Automation on her website), Deepak Shenoy, Joanna Carter (persistence framework and oo specialist), Rudy Velthuis, Wayne Niddery, and Yorai Aminov.

The Wings of Wind Software have had some really interesting blog posts on Delphi, the community and the future. When these (mysterious) guys/gals post a new post, I read them carefully and joyfully.

Answer 18

I find that the Delphi contributors to StackOverflow have the most interesting blogs. Some were listed in other answers, but I'm putting them together here. I've taken all the people listed among the Top Delphi Answerers of all time, and here are their blogs:

• Rob Kennedy - Delphi Q&A
• Mason Wheeler - TURBU Tech
• mghie - FlameRobin
• RRUZ - The Road to Delphi
• Barry Kelly - Entropy Overload
• skamradt - Ramblings of a Delphi Addict
• Jim McKeeth - The Podcast at Delphi.org
• gabr - The Delphi Geek
• Nick Hodges - Nick Hodges
• Craig Stuntz - Craig Stuntz's Weblog
• Allen Bauer - The Oracle at Delphi
• TOndrej - Delphi and stuff
• Mohammed Nasman - blog
• Jeroen Pluimers - The Wiert Corner

The following don't seem to have blogs (Please tell me if I'm wrong):

• Francois
• Gamecat
• Lars Truijens
• Bruce McGee
• Ken White
• Uwe Raabe
