My 24 Hours of Dexter!
I had great fun participating in the 24 Hours of Dexter internet radio event! If you missed it, I had about a 20+ minute window to share my thoughts on Dexter -- specifically C++Builder 2006 - from the hours of 7:15-7:35 Eastern. Here's the audio replay (MP3 download - 9mb) for those that want to replay it or having trouble sleeping.
During my time I also shared briefly some of the input received from the C++Builder users, which we used in the development of the Open Community Letter we sent out a year ago! Essentially I talked about the desire we as a community have for the continuation of C++Builder (including support for Win32 and the VCL). And that we're very happy about the response we're now seeing with the announcement of DeXTER! I also highlighted my upcoming "Patterns" session at DevCon, which will include a mix of C++, C# and Delphi code in our reflection of some pattern examples! (Plan to use DeXTER for the presentation)
For those curious, I had originally captured the comments I wanted to share for the 24 Hour event in Word as a bullet list. I had 8 pages of thoughts printed out in front of me when John Kaster "Skyped" me into the show. But, as I typically do for my presentations, I limited the use of my notes and just ran improv. I guess I just felt it was better to try to engage with David, John, Michael Swindell (who was present) and Anders and respond to their questions and comments rather than read from my bullet list as a "paper tele-prompt". I certainly I had a lot more on the list than I shared, but I hope that at least the things I did say it came across as genuine, real, somewhat entertaining, and -- most importantly -- that we are certainly excited about the return of C++Builder!
