I recently became an Embarcadero MVP. I must say I am very happy and proud to be part of the MVP community.
The MVP programme membership from Embarcadero is described at the following link:
http://www.embarcadero.com/embarcadero-mvp-program
I would like however to state that: There is no financial remuneration or benefits involved. For me the main benefits revolve around the educational and research aspects, for me as a lecturer at TUT and for the broader FET IT high school community.
I am currently planning some exciting workshops for Teachers and learners this year, and will keep you posted.

Go North-West - Go Delphi
I have had the privilege to present programming content in Delphi relating to the IT CAPS for Grade 11 & 12 to all the teachers of the North West province. It is wonderful so see such committed and dedicated teachers with the right attitude. :-)
The free compiler from Embarcadero really motivated the teachers as well.
Thank you Mathews for all the effort you put towards the successful presentation of the subject in your province. It was very encouraging to hear how the subject has grown, especially with regard to the grade 10 learners and Scratch.
Go North West!

Excellent Array Example - By Bernard Sibanda (CAPS Gr 11 Based)
In the following example kindly supplied by Bernard Sibanda the following CAPS Skills
are targeted:
4. Modular approach to solution development5. Inline documentation
Document in pdf format available here
Complete application available here
THANK YOU VERY MUCH BERNARD!
1. Arrays
- Arrays as a data structure (1-dim)
- Structure
- Step through items
2. Input
and output using a text file
-Apply simple file input and output using a
text file to populate data structures and to
develop simple reports
- Text files are incorporated utilising text
stream operations and methods which
load and save a file stream, etc.
- Accessing text stream operations and
methods to load and save a file stream,
etc.
- Utilise exceptions to catch errors on input
and output
3. Basic computing
- Casting from one type to another
(integer/real/float/ string/text)
- Reinforce and use of simple built-in
methods dealt with through the introductory
tool, e.g. square root, randomising and
rounding
- Format number and text output
- Concept of a constructor for the
initialisation of attributes
- Dynamically instantiate simple objects
from existing classes which supports the
development of the solution, e.g. a list,
image and relevant controls by invoking a
constructor
- Bind an applicable event to the
dynamically instantiated object if required as part of
the solution
4. Modular approach to solution development5. Inline documentation

Hello from Heimo
Hi There!
Thanks to Berti for adding me to the blog. Most probably this will be a perfect channel to share good, interesting and challenging Delphi material.
The first material, like "Recursion Basics" will be posted soon, as I got to know all the gadgets and possibilities. Same time my apology for the poor quality of the videos accompanying the "Fun-Run". Berti had them in perfect shape before uploading. We will look into that.
Looking forward to share hopefully some useful material.
Regards Heimo
