I've uploaded the two books I've authored to NotebookLM and asked it to create a video titled "Why Static Code Analysis Matters?" I think the output is quite informative, but perhaps exaggerates the utility of code analysis. What do you think? Am I going to be replaced?  Watch on YouTube.

Continuing our deep dive into static code analysis for Delphi - this time exploring Pascal Analyzer, a powerful standalone analysis tool with decades of proven results.

In this episode, we're stepping outside the IDE to examine external static analysis tools. Pascal Analyzer has been helping developers identify code quality issues since the early days of Delphi, and it's still actively maintained and updated today. Again, we will be running Pascal Analyser against a large legacy codebase to see what it finds. We will (try to) understand the types of issues the tool detects and walk through real-world findings, and discuss practical remediation strategies.  Watch on YouTube.

We continue our exploration of Static Code Analysis plugins for the Delphi IDE. This time, we look at Pascal Analyser from Paganza https://www.peganza.com/. We will put this tool to the test on a large legacy project to see what we can find. We cover a few of the insights provided, and I discuss why this enhances the code (or not).  Watch on YouTube.

Continuing our series on static code analysis IDE plugins, this time we explore TMS FixInsight. We'll run it against a large legacy Delphi project and walk through the issues it uncovers — from minor code smells to potential bugs you'd likely miss in a manual review.  Watch on YouTube.

Delphi's "Method Toxicity Metrics" feature ranks every method in your project from most toxic to least — but what do you actually do with that information? In this video, I dig into one of my long-running projects to examine some real-world toxic code, discuss whether these metrics are genuinely useful, and explore practical ways to improve problematic methods.  Watch on YouTube.

Static code analysis can be a great way to improve code quality. This time, we are going to look at DelphiLint and how to use it to check over your code. Extra note: I just found out that you can right-click the hints in the window to have DelphiLint perform the fix for you!  Watch on YouTube,

New in Delphi 13 is the NameOf function. It gives you the string representation of the name of a variable that you pass into it. I'm not totally sure if I'll ever use this, but it might be important to someone.  Watch here.

We get two new logic operators in Delphi 13. These will allow some code to be expressed in a slightly cleaner form and closer to the English language. Hopefully, making code easier to read and maintain.  Watch here.

Ternary operators have been added to many languages, and now we get them in Delphi in the form of an in-line if statement. I think this will be a useful language feature, but I'm unsure how frequently I'll use it.  Watch here.

SQLite is a great database choice for Delphi applications, and in this video, I demonstrate how easy it is to create an in-memory-only database and perform queries against it
