Jim Tierney isn’t on DelphiFeeds yet, so below are a few links to his great Delphi XE3 LiveBindings posts.
Jim is one of the people that developed LiveBindings. In addition to that, he explains things very well.
He did some great posts on LiveBindings after Delphi XE2 got launched (he also did two great presentations on Delphi Live 2011 and CodeRage 6 – they got repeated on the last 24 hours of Delphi).
Now he is publishing a series of posts on LiveBindings in Delphi XE3.
These posts are recommended reading, more are probably on their way:

Portable Library Tools extension is a great tool for creating assemblies that run on a variety of .NET platforms without recompilation.
I hope a Visual Studio 11 version of it comes soon.

Cool: learned something new here:
About the path names of files being in the .dproj as well as in the .dpr:
@Jeroen – Looks like msbuild might need those entries, otherwise they’re possibly redundant, AFAICT… In any case, there is not much editing involved, just delete ‘dccreference’ entries and then a ‘save all’ in the IDE regenerates them. – Sertac Akyuz

Edit 20210402: this library has since moved without commit history from Google Code to GitHub with new source code file at [Wayback/Archive.is] yinyang/Ean13.php at master · henryhayes/yinyang.
YinYang Zend Framework Supplement Library
YinYang is a library of classes. Generally anything that is created in addition to Zend Framework and can be reused will be included in this library. YinYang requires Zend Framework as most of the classes extend ZF.
To use, simply checkout a copy, add the library/YinYang folder to your library folder and add YinYang to your list of autoloader namespaces.
