Are you at a loose end and like watching people code live and enjoy hearing coders chatting about code and generally hanging out? Then you might want to subscribe to the Apocalypse Coders live stream.
It’s streamed live on Saturdays and Sundays – sometimes for as long as four hours – and features a group of Embarcadero MVPs and Delphi coders creating a cloud-based card game live on the stream using a multitude of technologies.
I’m one of the MVPs on the stream and you’ll see us using all sorts of coding methods and techniques to produce the server-side services as well as several versions of the client-side apps to showcase various technologies including VCL, FMX/Firemonkey and TMS Web Core. We intend to produce clients for Windows, Mac and Linux as well as a browser-based web client and we might even stretch out and produce iOS and Android clients too if the mood takes us.
We’re not intending to get too serious, it’s more to stream coding in Delphi rather than a huge formal tutorial, but even so we might lay out a few techniques which fellow coders may not have seen or wanted to know more about.
One of the MVPs, Andrea has produced a playlist of the most recent stream as well as an online Delphi Italia event here:
I’ll be there again this Sunday at 9am CST, 8am MNT, 14:00 UTC / BST – you can subscribe to Craig’s ChapmanWorld YouTube channel and get notified when we go live and catch the stream by going here: https://www.youtube.com/c/ChapmanWorldOnTube
