If you have been member of either the MorfikDev or the Morfik Brasil networks in Ning, I wish to welcome you to Morfik Watch.  Due to changes in policy by Ning it was becoming unfeasible to maintain both networks and this website, so I decided to bring everything together at MorfikWatch.com. Forums have been created for the [...]

It has been a long while since I’ve posted anything on MorfikWatch.  Not too long ago someone asked me about it and I replied that I wasn’t posting because there wasn’t much to write about. After releasing Morfik 3.0 and a couple of hotfixes/patches for it, Altium seemed to let the product go dormant.  Not much [...]

Okay, the news is two days old now… I’m sorry it took me so long post about it, but I’ve gifted with a very bad case of the flu for the past couple of days. It isn’t easy to formulate an informed opinion, much less write about it when you are running a high fever and having difficulty to breath.

Australian tech sites are reporting that Morfik’s acquisition by Altium has been completed. I understand that the acquisition initiative had to follow specific procedures due to the fact that Altium is a publicly traded company and thus needs to comply with the corresponding rules.

The announcement of Morfik’s acquisition by Altium is reason enough to bring me out of the woodwork and comment a bit. The news has been spreading around the IT news sites quite rapidly.

In the first beta releases of version 3 we can see Morfik’s initial steps in support for the creation of mobile applications. The two major targets are the iPhone and the iPad as can be clearly seen by the specialized views in the Morfik debug browser.

In just under two weeks I’ll be traveling to Piracicaba, a town in the Brazilian state of São Paulo to attend the 7th Firebird Developer’s Day. This event has been held once a year for the past six years, bringing together Firebird users from all over Brazil.

An article describing the usage and creation of Page Templates in Morfik 3 has just been published here on Morfik Watch.

Welcome to the new version of the Morfik Watch blog. It has been a long time in coming and to tell the truth it hasn’t quite landed in full yet. That is why I gave it the 1.9 version number.

Almost two years ago I created Morfik Watch to write about everything remotely related to Morfik.

If you haven’t downloaded the beta version of Morfik 3 you should stop wasting your time.  Morfik 3 introduces a new page templates feature which let you easily create reusable layouts and basic page configurations. This is really useful in getting started with a new project as you will be able to reuse layouts and [...]

Morfik has just made available for download from their website the first beta version of Morfik 3. This is the next major version of the company’s flagship product and as the more recent posts to the official Morfik blog indicate it is packed with new features. Along with the beta version the company’s website has [...]

It’s incredible but this move is going to end up taking up a whole month, rather than a 3 days as I had anticipated. As I was starting the process I had an issue with the new server and that alone pushed the whole process back by 3 days.  All the rest is just my [...]

The process of moving MorfikWatch to a new home has started.  Over the next 24 to 72 hours it should be complete.  During this period there might be some moments when the website is unavailable or available with only partial content.  This period should not last long and during that time this blog’s current content [...]

I’ve been absent from my regular blogging about Morfik for a while now.  I have been involved with two major projects in the past three months and this has taken a toll in the number of posts I’ve done since February. I’m currently preparing to move MorfikWatch to the same blogging platform as the iPadWatcher.com [...]

I thought this was a good moment to discuss some interesting possibilities that are opening open for people who develop rich Internet applications without resorting to plug-ins such as Flash and Silverlight.   If you have followed some of the hype that has been bubbling all over the Web about Apple’s new iPad, you will be [...]

Morfik has announced in its official blog the release of two new add-on packages that are available to members of its Morfik Developer Assist Plus program.  These packages allow the user to include Amazon Ads in their applications as well as to present large sized images in a fancy HTML popup.  This second package is [...]

Morfik is making available its auto-deployment agent for beta testing.  Morfik has decided to release this agent as a product to facilitate the process of deployment to corporate servers for its users as well as to make it easier for hosting service providers to support the deployment of Morfik built applications. This is great news [...]

Morfik has just made available several new applications for download from their website. These applications provide more examples on how to use several techniques which are new to the Morfik 2.x branch such as published URLs and Links.  The following is a list of the new samples they’ve released: Morfik Reports is a cut-down version [...]

We are a bit late in having out chats about using external code in Morfik and I apologize to all the people that have written in interested in taking part in on of the sessions.  This has been really my fault as the past two weeks have been very frantic for me and I couldn’t be sure [...]
