Delphi topic descriptions
Interview
with Marco
Cantù and Cary Jensen
This is a one-of-a-kind
event, bringing together top Delphi experts Marco Cantù
and Cary Jensen. Whether you are using the latest version of
Delphi, or are developing with an older version, you will come
away with loads of information that will improve your development
and make you more productive.
During the two-day
event you will experience both joint sessions, presented by
Cary and Marco together, as well as simultaneous tracks, where
Marco and Cary break out into separate rooms to present individual
topics. Among the topics presented jointly are A Developer’s
Guide to Delphi 2009 and A Developers Guide to Delphi Prism.
This material is invaluable if you have already upgraded or
are simply interested in learning more about the latest features.
Additional joint sessions cover database development and multithreaded
programming.
Like the
joint sessions, the individual sessions cover both current and
earlier versions of Delphi. Marco presents sessions on Unicode
in Delphi 2009, as well as developing Vista-friendly applications
in Delphi 7 through 2009. Likewise, Cary offers sessions on
general ClientDataSet development in Delphi, as well as building
ASP.NET applications using Delphi Prism. These are just a few
of the exciting sessions that are scheduled. Click
here for descriptions of schedule of Delphi topics.
Cary and
Marco team up at the end of each day for a Delphi round table.
Here you will also have the opportunity to ask them about any
of the material that they covered during the event, as well
explore other Delphi questions that you might have.
And you
will not miss out on a thing, even if you have to choose between
two equally interesting sessions. All attendees receive detailed
course books (several hundred pages in length) that cover all
topics covered during the event, written by Marco and Cary.
You also receive source code for all projects that are explored
during every session. There are only 35 seats available in each
city, so register today to reserve your spot for this special
event.

Day
1
Room 1: 8:30am – 10:30am
A Developers Guide to Delphi 2009
Marco Cantù and Cary Jensen
Delphi 2009 is the latest version of Win32 Delphi, and in addition
to its support of Unicode, it includes one of the largest updates
to the runtime library in recent memory. Whether you have already
upgraded, or are evaluating an upgrade, this presentation is
the perfect place to get started.
Room
1: 10:30am – 11:45pm
Creating Vista Friendly Applications with Delphi 7 through
Delphi 2009
Marco Cantù
Users expect more from Vista applications, and this presentation
will show you how to deliver. Whether you are still working
in Delphi 7, or are using the new Delphi 2009, Marco demonstrates
how to make the most of Vista-based applications.
Room
2: 10:30am – 11:45pm
Object-Oriented Development with Delphi
Cary Jensen
Delphi is an object-oriented language, but many Delphi developers
still approach their applications using only traditional structured
programming techniques. The benefits of creating and using objects
are emphasized in this presentation, and proven techniques are
demonstrated.
Room
1: 12:45pm
– 1:45pm
Overview
of Delphi Database Development
Cary Jensen and Marco Cantù
Cary and Marco start off Day 2 with a broad survey of database
options for Delphi developers. It’s the perfect start
to a comprehensive afternoon of database-related issues.
Room
1: 2:00pm
– 3:00pm
Developing
with Disconnected Datasets
Cary Jensen
Disconnected datasets, like Delphi’s ClientDataSet, enable
advanced application features, but also pose implementation
challenges. Join ClientDataSet expert Cary Jensen in this intense
look at using in-memory datasets.
Room
2 : 2:00pm
– 3:00pm
Understanding Delphi’s Unicode Support in Delphi
2009
Marco Cantù
The support for Unicode in Delphi 2009 affects large parts of
the runtime library (RLT) as well as the visual component library
(VCL). In this focused session, Marco explains the nature of
Unicode, and shows you how to avoid potential pitfalls.
Room
1: 3:10pm
– 4:10pm
DataSnap
and dbExpress in RAD Studio 2009
Marco Cantù
dbExpress IV, introduced with Delphi 2007, opened up the way
for an extended database architecture, including a native multi-tier
feature, called DataSnap 2009, that has little to do with the
original COM-based version of DataSnap. In this talk Marco explores
the role of dbExpress and the recent changes in its structure.
Room
2: 3:10pm
– 4:10pm
Overview of Windows Presentation Foundation with Delphi
Prism
Cary Jensen
Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) is an emerging Microsoft
technology for developing user interfaces, and it is designed
both for client applications as well as Browser based systems.
This session provides you with an introduction to WPF, and demonstrates
how you can build WPF-based applications using Delphi Prism.
Room
1: 4:10pm – 4:45pm
Day 1 Wrap-up and Q&A
Marco and Cary close out the day with an open question
and answer session. They will answer your remaining questions
from the day, as well as share their insights on the future
of software development
Day
2
Room 1: 8:30am – 10:00am
A Developers Guide to Delphi Prism
Cary Jensen and Marco Cantù
From Web services and ASP.NET Web applications to Windows Presentation
Foundation (WPF), Delphi Prism provides you with a comprehensive
solution for .NET development. This presentation provides you
with the perfect introduction to CodeGear’s newest product.
Room
1: 10:15am – 11:45am
ASP.NET
Development with Delphi Prism
Cary Jensen
Browser-based applications, such as those implemented in ASP.NET,
introduce significant challenges over traditional native applications.
In this presentation Cary shares the essential techniques necessary
to get ASP.NET-based Web applications up and running.
Room
2: 10:15am
– 11:45am
Understanding Web Services, Including SOAP and REST
Marco Cantù
Consuming and providing Web Services is becoming more and more
relevant in the current interconnected world, with a significant
shift from SOAP (simple object application protocol) to REST
(representational state transfer) technologies (used by Amazon,
Google, Yahoo and even Microsoft). In this session Marco provides
you with a foundation in Web services, and describes the implications
of the SOAP to REST movement.
Room
1: 12:45pm – 2:15pm
Multithreaded Programming Done Right
Marco Cantù and Cary Jensen
Marco and Cary share their expertise in multithreaded development
with this fast-paced and inclusive look at concurrent code execution.
Topics covered include when and why to introduce concurrent
execution, as well as synchronization techniques for addressing
the challenges you’ll encounter along the way.
Room
1: 2:30pm
– 3:45pm
Delphi Language Features from Delphi 7 to Delphi 2009

Accessing Databases with ADO.NET and Delphi
Cary Jensen
ADO.NET refers to the classes and interfaces of the .NET framework
associated with data access, and it represents a significant
departure from Delphi’s traditional TDataSet interface.
In this session, Cary demonstrates the techniques you use to
access your databases using ADO.NET. The techniques shown apply
to Delphi Prism, as well as earlier versions of Delphi for .NET.
Room
1: 4:00pm–
