TDM Rerun #6: GExperts 1.0

The greatest (in my view), and one of the oldest of the Delphi IDE expert suites is GExperts. It was created by Gerals Nunn (in 1997, if I am not mistaken), who also developed it for almost two years. Gerald has moved to other projects, but he kindly donated the GExperts source code to the online community.

I still stand by those words. GExperts is a great suite of experts and I still use it every day. I also wrote few experts that are included in the GExperts pack and few that are included only in my private build.

TDM Rerun #5: SvCom 4.0

When you get into really serious Windows development, you may well need to create NT service applications. Borland's input is half-hearted: Delphi includes support for NT service application writing, but as you work with this framework, you'll soon discover its less-polished parts!

- SvCom 4.0, The Delphi Magazine 69, May 2001

In the TDM #69 I reviewed SvCom, "an integrated package of classes and tools for development of service applications and use of NT Security framework." (as the current SvCom web page states). Good stuff, I'm still using it for service development.
