Time Track is a program written in Lazarus and tiopf to allow people to track projects (with Firebird backend)
See the lazarus full thread and you can clone the git repository
It’s a small app that sits in the tray, and can be used to manage project time.
If there is interest, I can donate it to the Lazarus community. It also serves
as a nice example of how to program Lazarus and tiOPF.
It also keeps a todo list and a list of interruptions.
(the helpdesk walks in and out of my office, which I started tracking to
prove that this practice costs me 1.5 hours a day.)
I posted the project at
http://www.freepascal.org/~michael/timetrack.zip
You’ll need tiOPF and a database server.
I use (and recommend) Firebird, but changing it to something
else takes about 2 lines of code.
The included time.sql file creates the database.
Kitto – A framework for creating data-driven web applications with Delphi and ExtJS
Kitto allows to create Rich Internet Applications based on a data model that can be mapped onto any database. The client-side part uses ExtJS (through the ExtPascal library) to create a fully AJAX application, allowing you to build standard and advanced data-manipulating forms in a fraction of the time.
Kitto is aimed at Delphi developers that need to create web application without delving into the intricacies of HTML, CSS, Javascript or learning to use a particular library such as ExtJS, yet it allows access to the bare metal if required.
Kitto includes a database-agnostic data-access layer, allowing to create applications that work on any database engine and port applications between database engines.
A Kitto application is described in a set of easily maintained YAML files, keeping definitions abstract and declarative and allowing for future extensions. Business rules are enforced either declaratively or through small javascript fragments on the client, or in Delphi code on the server.
Kitto was designed by Nando Dessena and its development is sponsored by Ethea, which uses Kitto for internal development projects and client work and provides Kitto-related tools, support and development services.

The getting started guide can be tested with Firebird and Delphi
FBClone version 2.1.4 is released (bugfix release)
FBClone v2.1.4 is released .This is a “bugfix release” (field “XxX” not found when used against case sensitive databases.)
FBClone can clone a Firebird database in one shot (instead of backup/restore cycle) and pump data from one database to another with the same structure, it handles metadata / data charset conversion and may be useful to ease database owner change process or to migrate a database between two different firebird versions (eg. 2.1 -> 1.5)
Master detail subdetail application in Lazarus Free Pascal
I have made an example of a master-detail-subdetail application http://mantis.freepascal.org/view.php?id=18491
It uses the Firebird employee-database.There is a bug in the subdetail-handling. But master-detail works fine.
Full Discussion was on lazarus list (asking for a master detail example to study from)
Latest FBLib for Delphi/Lazarus
At the moment (well, for the last two years now) we only use FBLib.
The original author is nowhere to be found, so I started maintaining
or rather fixing the issues we deteced. For our latest FBLib, you can
get a update from tiOPF’s project on SourceForge.net.
