Wizard Software - All things Delphi (and some PHP) » php http://wizard-soft.com/blog Delphi, Pascal, PHP, programming and (Wizard) Software Tue, 01 Dec 2009 06:36:28 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 en hourly 1 Google goes offline with Gmail http://wizard-soft.com/blog/2009/01/25/google-goes-offline-with-gmail/ http://wizard-soft.com/blog/2009/01/25/google-goes-offline-with-gmail/#comments Sun, 25 Jan 2009 03:43:01 +0000 Softy http://wizard-soft.com/blog/?p=101 What is Google doing with Gmail and Gears? Those guys have been busy for several years figuring out how to take the internet with them on a local hard-drive. Finally they’ve got around to doing this with their flagship ‘gmail’ application. Of course, here at Wizard Software, with Delphi and a little PHP, we’ve also been taking our internet with us; mainly on a thumb drive. In a few weeks we will be releasing our first major ‘offline capable’ portable application which has been developed for a high profile perfume and cosmetics company.  It’s a sales tool for their in-field operators who only have occasional internet access. The application we have developed functions offline and synchronises data with the server on connection to the internet. It really is the way applications are going to be used in the future and we have some great tools with Delphi, PHP, XML and of course a little encryption. Check out what Google have been doin via the link below. In a little while I’ll be uploading some sample applications written in Delphi and PHP that demonstrate the future of mobile, distributed computing.

The other half is getting paid for developing those apps! Over the years I’ve used several third-party payment providers, including Regsoft, Digital River and a few others. However, time and progress wait for no programmer: PayPal is the (soon to be) only kid on the payment provider block, so it’s time to get down dirty with a little PHP code, MySQL and the inner workings of PayPal API plus sandbox. The whole paypal developer documentation leaves a lot to be desired, so a quick google search found this little nugget:
