Blog|by Leanne Bevan|1 September 2021

The RAD Studio 11 article written by Hagop Panosian featured on Embarcadero’s blog contains some great tips and resources that Embarcadero users should utilise in preparation for the exciting new version of RAD Studio which is coming soon. Below are some details from that article and also some resources that Grey Matter provides to support you as an Embarcadero user.
RAD Studio 11 sneak peek webinar
Join the Product Management team for this sneak peek at this huge leap forward in RAD Studio, Delphi and C++Builder. Originally planned as a 10.5 release, but with so many great new features Embarcadero decided to take it to 11 (it may have had a little to do with the new Windows 11 release coming from Microsoft). Attend the webinar to get an insight into the great new features coming soon.
Learn about how your programs will look even better on Windows 10 and 11 with new High-DPI IDE with VCL Style preview on the designer. See how you will write more powerful code with the new extensions to the Delphi language, improve speeds thanks to the math performance improvements. See the new support for Apple’s custom silicon with macOS 64-bit ARM.
Object Pascal Handbook
Delphi offers modern Object Pascal with native compilers and component libraries for Windows, macOS, iOS, Android and Linux. Object Pascal is an extension to the programming language Pascal that provides object-oriented programming (OOP) features such as classes and methods.
Marco Cantu has created a guide for both new and existing Object Pascal developers looking to advance their development and learn new techniques.
