It’s very common for me to receive messages from customers asking for help in several topics, in special people that are upgrading their projects, or totally new users that don’t know where to ask for some guidance.
The good news is Embarcadero has a lot of resources available online for free, we just need to put things together 😉
I’ll try to keep this resource list (which is not finite or complete at all) updated, adding more and more links while I’m answering customers.
