[Estimated Reading Time: 4 minutes] I just ran into a very frustrating issue in Delphi 10.4.1 with long-standing, basic functionality that is now broken in certain circumstances. Fortunately there is a work-around in those certain circumstances, but it’s not pretty.
[Estimated Reading Time: 6 minutes] Wrapping up this short series on duget, discussing RESTORE and UPDATE, arguably most important and useful commands in the duget repertoire.
[Estimated Reading Time: 3 minutes] We now know a little more about this duget thing, and have seen how to create a package.

[Estimated Reading Time: 4 minutes] I figured out the iterative insertion problem and my build pipeline is now TIGHT! Fixing it was super-easy in fact, barely an inconvenience.
[Estimated Reading Time: 6 minutes] An object lesson on the importance of defensive programming and providing helpful error messages to your users.
[Estimated Reading Time: 5 minutes] Learn how you too can use my Delphi build template in your own Azure DevOps pipelines, and a sneak preview of something special coming soon…
[Estimated Reading Time: 9 minutes] A more complete build script, re-usable in the form of a template, that caters for different Delphi versions, combined with a demonstration of running unit tests and capturing results for reporting and analysis in Azure DevOps Pipelines.
[Estimated Reading Time: 6 minutes] In this post we create a (very!) simple project, build it using Delphi (7) and run it. All with Azure DevOps.
