No video for CodeRage 2007, this weeks live BorCon? The Fix!

Are you enjoying BorCon 2007?  Well, CodeRage 2007 is more PC I guess… 

Well, cool!  You’re not alone!  In fact SOOOOO many people joined, it crashed the video (MMS) feed.  So they had to turn it off.   It is back on Tuesday morning, but already showing signs of failing.  So you might want to just stick with Interwise.

 Here’s what to do to fix that problem…

(BTW if you haven’t join yet, what are you waiting for?  register_now for this virtual conference and join the fun!)

1. Go to http://www.interwise.com/ and download their “Participant Application” client.  If you’re running windows, just click here: aa .

2.  Choose the stream that is appropriate for the session you want to attend.  (The sessions on the left are in stream 1. Right=Stream 2)
Stream 1 – http://borland.interwise.com/borland/iSeminar/PJ8838

Stream 2 – http://borland.interwise.com/borland/iSeminar/JR8382

3.  Join the normal session from the session list.

4. Separate the video

5. Close that tab/window.

6. Click “I’m listening” to get a chance to get the prize for the session.

You now have the visual display AND a chat window without echoing sound.

Delphi for PHP Article 1: A Video Walk Through

Rumors have been flying around for the last month about Borland producing a PHP product. “PHP? Are they nuts?” some said, “Concentrate on what you know! Are you trying to create another Kylix just to have it fade away to nothing?” Needless to say, I was a bit more optimistic than that… I mean come on! RAD PHP development? How cool would that be? PHP has the EXACT same feel as Pacal did back in the late 80s. It’s a baby language just starting to grow up. Even the people in it have the same core “I’m gonna help you because I know later you will help me” attitude that Pascal and Delphi always had.

Plus, since the restructuring of Borland has sifted the chaff from the wheat, CodeGear seems have its act together and the people of CodeGear are really the cream of the crop. (Yes, I know. I just said that they are Cream of Wheat, let it go… just let it go.)

Well, dreams came true when I was invited to be a CodeGear field tester. And last Thursday morning, with the verbiage hot off the presses from the Borland legal department, I was granted a limited exemption from my NDA (Non-disclosure agreement) to pitch a possible Google Summer of Code 2007 joint D4p/WordPress project to Automattic (I’ll let you know later how that turns out…). That NDA exemption also gave me permission to post articles and write reviews of the product. So here we are today!

So, now I can show you tell you all about the cool stuff I’ve been doing and show you movies I’ve made of the product in action.

In my usual fashion, I’ve written a gargantuan article. Instead of posting huge thing, I’m splitting the sections off into separate articles. Today, I just want to give you walk through of the product and show you some of the stuff that makes it unique.

This video uses a pre-release version of Delphi for PHP. Components, look and feel, and features may change before release. THIS VIDEO HAS SOUND.
