Det er en god idé at medbringe en bærbar PC til mødet, så du kan afprøve det vi snakker om undervejs. Der vil være mulighed for trådløs internet-adgang, men husk forlængerkabel til strøm og kablet netværk, hvis du er afhængig heraf. 

Agenda (ændringer kan forekomme):

09:45 - 10:00 Ankomst og evt. opsætning af medbragt PC.

Kaffe

10:00 - 11:00 Introduktion til lidt af Risø (Martin G. H. Jensen m.fl.)

En generel præsentation af DTU Link samt en præsentation af startups der arbejder med droner og 3D modellering. Det hele krydes med lidt nørd-emner.

11:10 - 12:00 Delphi kan sagtens bruges i web udvikling!(Glenn Dufke)

Når et Delphi projekt skal udvides med en web-frontend bliver Delphi oftest fravalgt, men sådan behøver det ikke være!

I dag er der fokus på server side rendering frem for en tung JavaScript klient (React, Angular og Vue er ret brugt her) men hvordan tilføjer man den samme interaktivitet?

Vi kigger på htmx biblioteket, et kompakt JavaScript bibliotek som tillader at udvidde html tags med mere funktionalitet og eftersom det er platform uafhængigt, bruger vi Delphi og en af de kendte templating motorer til at generere interaktivitet hurtigt og nemt.

12:00 - 13:00 Frokost

13:00 - 13:30 Rundvisning på Risø (Martin G. H. Jensen m.fl.)

13:30 - 14:00 Generel erfa (fælles) / værktøjer i IDE'en (Thomas Vedel)

Kom med alt hvad du har af mere eller mindre håndfaste ideer og spørgsmål (især om anvendelse af Delphi) og få dem diskuteret med ligesindede.

14:00 - 15:00 Udvikling af REST klienter i Delphi (Jens Fudge og Thomas Vedel)

Vi udvikler Delphi klienter til eksisterende REST services ved anvendelse af Postman og Delphis indbyggede REST Debugger.

15:00 - 15:15 Kaffepause

15:15 - 16:00 Tips og tricks (Thomas Vedel / Jens Fudge / Glenn Dufke / Alle deltagere)

Gennemgang af enkelte nyheder i seneste Delphi-versioner og generelle tips og tricks til anvendelse af Delphi.

16:00 Tak for i dag

Workshop with Jim McKeeth at Hotel Hesselet October 24 and 25, 2023

  Jim McKeeth:

Think Inside The Box.

It's Bigger on The Inside.

Learn about Skia, Python, AI, Creativity, and Code (with Delphi)

Evidence Driven Delphi Engineering (EDDE)

October 24 and 25, 2023
Hotel Hesselet, Christianslundsvej 119, 5800 Nyborg

Jim McKeeth, former Embarcadero Chief Advocate will be taking us inside the Delphi Box to explore some of the options that are available. Jim has a very long career in Delphi, he is the host of "The Podcast at Delphi.Org" and has worked with some of the largest Delphi Companies in the world.

This is the second time Jim will be talking at our workshop. The first time Jim was here at our workshop was 15 years ago.

We are very proud to have him back in Denmark.

Below is Jim's own presentation of the topics he will present at the workshop.

Skia
Skia4Delphi will be integrated into a future release of Delphi, according to Marco Cantu's announcement back in May. Skia is a cross platform graphical library that will bring enhanced performance, better stability, and new functionality to Delphi. Skia4Delphi is the library that makes all of that possible, and it is available today. While we can't discuss the specifics of future releases of Delphi, we can look at the features of Skia4Delphi, how you can use them today, and prepare for the Skia-revolution coming in the near future.

Python
I get it, we all love Delphi, and it's Object Pascal programming language, discussing another programming language is almost blasphemous, but hear me out. I fell in love with Delphi's component model and huge library of components. One of the reasons for Python's popularity is also its incredible selection of packages, especially in areas like machine learning and data sciences. The main Python package index PyPi has 469,474 different projects. Wouldn't it be great if you could use them from your Delphi applications? Just imagine how productive you would be! There will be a brief introduction to Python, but the majority of the focus will be on using Python libraries without needing to know Python.

AI, Creativity, and Code
Large Language Models (LLM), Neural Networks, and Artificial Intelligence are all big news lately. Rumors are they will take over all the jobs and make humans obsolete. Let's cut through the hype and look at what all these tools are, how they work, their impact on our jobs, and how to use them to remain.

Evidence Driven Delphi Engineering (EDDE)
A superstition is a belief not based on empirical evidence. While we may not consider ourselves superstitious, chances are there are many things that "we've always done it that way," or we heard someone else say it was the "right way." Software development is one of the most complicated practices in the world. There is no "one-size-fits-all" rule or best practice, it always depends on your situation. So how do you know you are doing it right?

This is a collection of questions, tools, principles, and techniques to challenge the way you develop with Delphi. It covers the entire software development process, including the way you write code, debugging, refactoring, testing, and tooling.

Registration:
You find the registration form here.

Please note that you must register on Sunday September 10, 2023 at latest.

Participation requires that your company is a valid member of DAPUG. The membership fee for the year 2023 (April - December) of DKK 600 covers all registrants for that company. If you are not representing a company you will need to have a personal membership of DAPUG, which is the same fee of DKK 600

15:15 - 16:00 Brug anonyme funktioner til at undgå spaghetti-kode (Thomas Vedel)

Vi har af og til brug for at tilføje ny funktionalitet til gammel kode, som vi selv eller andre har skrevet for år tilbage. Det kan være en udfordring, når man både gerne vil modificere eksisterende kode så lidt som muligt, og samtidig ønsker at undgå spaghetti-kodning. Her kan anvendelsen af anonyme funktioner være en hjælp til at opfylde begge krav.

Workshop with Ray Konopka at Hotel Hesselet

  Ray Konopka:

Raize Your Skills With Ray

Create Customized Controls Tailored to Your Needs

Better User Interface Design using VCL or FMX

May 2 and 3, 2023
Hotel Hesselet, Christianslundsvej 119, 5800 Nyborg

In the Dapug May 2023 workshop Ray Konopka will "Raize Our Skills"

Components are the building blocks of Delphi. Every aspect of Delphi has been impacted by components: the language, the IDE, and of course, the component frameworks. Learning to build components provides a deeper understanding of how Delphi works. And what better way to learn how to build Delphi components than from Ray Konopka, author of Developing Custom Delphi Components and creator of the Konopka Signature VCL Controls (formerly Raize Components).

Delphi developers primarily use components to build user interfaces. Day 2 of this workshop focuses on UI/UX Design using both VCL and FMX Frameworks. A wide variety of user interface design topics are covered, culminating with a fun (yes, fun) session on UI Design Principles. The workshop ends with an exciting session called User Interface Reviews - LIVE! where Ray will apply the principles covered in the previous session to review interfaces submitted by the attendees. The goal is not to critique but to evaluate and offer suggestions. All apps can benefit from a user interface review, but it can be especially helpful if your app is experiencing poor UI/UX feedback. If you are interested in submitting an interface for review, please contact Ray at rkonopka@raize.com.

You find the registration form here.
Please note that you must register on Sunday March 19, 2023 at latest.

Workshop with Andrea Magni at Hotel Hesselet

 Andrea Magni:

To Boldly Go Where No Developer Has Gone Before

Build RESTful Applications Using the MARS Curiosity Framework

FMXER, a Flutter inspired visual framework for FMX

September 13 and 14 2022
Hotel Hesselet, Christianslundsvej 119, 5800 Nyborg

In the Dapug September 2022 workshop Andrea Magni is taking us to travel the stars in his MARS Curiosity framework. The MARS Curiosity framework is a great open source framework for building RESTFul applications both Server and Client Side. We will spend time getting to know the framework, with an extensive walk through and some nitty gritty hands on details.

Andrea is also going to take us through a lot of cool coding with other things he has built, strongly inspired by Flutter, Andrea has created FMXER, containing a lot of cool components like TFrameStand and others.

Andrea is the author of "Delphi GUI Programming with FireMonkey"  and apart from being a speaker at a previous Dapug workshop, he is a frequent speaker at other conferences too, like Entwickler Konferenz in Köln/Düsseldorf., where his rooms are always packed. Andrea has been employed in various Italian Software development companies, and is now self employed working as a consultant and speaker.

Andrea is from Italy and has a very strong patriotic feeling about Italy (in a good way). He is an expert on Italian cuisine, Italian wines, Italian Coffees and probably also other Italian things.

For sure he has married a beautiful Italian woman Marta, and they have the most adoring girl Federica, who is now 7. 

When there is a spare moment Andrea can be found running or skiing. In both cases he would bring his camera and take thousands of pictures.

The different timeslots are a rough outline of the various topics he will cover – he might stretch one topic a bit and shift things around as fit.

DAPUG generalforsamling med forudgående ERFA-møde onsdag d. 4. maj 2022 i Fredericia

DAPUG holder erfamøde onsdag d. 4. maj 2022 kl. 10 - 16 hos Archersoft, Videnparken, Vesterballevej 5, 7000 Fredericia. Umiddelbart i forlængelse af erfamødet afholdes generalforsamling med dagsorden i henhold til vedtægterne.

Da alle Corona-restriktioner nu er ophævet vender vi tilbage til normal praksis, og derfor afholdes begge møder udelukkende med fysisk fremmøde. Alle er velkomne til deltage i erfamødet, uanset om man er medlem af DAPUG eller ej.Deltagelse er gratis for medlemmer af DAPUG. Ikke-medlemmer opkræves deltagergebyr på kr. 150,-.

Du er medlem af DAPUG, hvis blot din virksomhed har tegnet medlemsskab. Hvis I deltager flere personer fra samme firma, opkræves deltagergebyr for deltager nr. 2, 3, 4 osv.

Sidste tilmeldingsfrist er fredag d. 29. april kl. 16.
Hvis du er tilmeldt og bliver forhindret, kan du indtil 29. april sende en ny tilmelding, hvor du i kommentarfeltet skriver, at du er blevet forhindret i at deltage. Ved behov for senere framelding bedes du ringe til Thomas Vedel på 40 19 11 89.

Tilmelding sker ved udfyldelse af tilmeldingsformularen som du finder her. Tilmeldingsfristen er overskredet.

Du modtager på mail en kvittering efter tilmeldingen, så du kan se du er registreret. Mandag d. 2. maj modtager du yderligere oplysninger om hvordan mødet afholdes.

Det er en god idé at medbringe en bærbar PC til mødet, så du kan afprøve det vi snakker om undervejs. Der vil være mulighed for trådløs internet-adgang, men husk forlængerkabel til strøm og kablet netværk, hvis du er afhængig heraf. 

Agenda (ændringer kan forekomme):

09:45 - 10:00 Ankomst og opstilling af medbragt PC.

Kaffe

10:00 - 10:45 Flexcel fra TMS Software i Delphi. (Jens Fudge, Archersoft)

Jens viser hvordan man kan arbejde med Excel filer fra sit Delphi program, endda uden at Excel er installeret på maskinen der afvikler programmet.

Der vises generel skrivning og læsning til og fra Excel filen, hvordan man kan benytte Excel fil formatet og Flexcel som rapport generator i Delphi, og hvordan man via APIMate kan generere Delphi kode der kan oprette en specifik excel fil.

10:45 - 11:30 Introduktion til QuickLib og QuickLogger (Thomas Vedel)

QuickLib er et open source library som udvider Delphis RTL med mange nye funktioner. Og al source er ren Delphi-kode, så man kan bruge funktionerne på alle de platforme, som Delphi understøtter, og ikke kun under Windows.

QuickLogger er et open source logning-framework som er baseret på QuickLib, og som ligelgedes kan anvendes på alle platforme. Både QuickLib og QuickLogger er tilgængelige via GetIt i Delphi.

Thomas giver en kort intro til QuickLib og viser hvor nemt det er at anvende QuickLogger i egne applikationer. 

11:30 - 12:00 Anvendelse af certifikater til beskyttelse af Delphi-programmer (Thomas Vedel)

Sikkerheden på Windows (og alle andre platforme) strammes hele tiden op, i et forsøg på at mindske risikoen for at få malware. Hvis de programmer man producerer ikke er signeret, vil de blive markeret som "usikre" af operativsystemerne, og signering af programmerne er derfor en god idé. Samtidig kan signering være med til at sikre imod at programmerne reverse engineeres, og man slipper for en masse diskussion med kunderne om hvorvidt programmerne er sikre eller ej.

Thomas viser hvordan man får Delphi til at signere de programmer man laver, og hvad der skal til for at lave sin egen signatur og/eller købe en signatur fra en "trusted" udbyder.

12:00 - 13:00 Frokost

13:00 - 13:30 Anvendelse af certifikater til beskyttelse af Delphi-programmer (fortsat)

13:30 - 14:00 Generel erfa (fælles) / værktøjer i IDE'en (Thomas Vedel)

Kom med alt hvad du har af mere eller mindre håndfaste ideer og spørgsmål (især om anvendelse af Delphi) og få dem diskuteret med ligesindede.

Desuden vil vi se på hvilke værtøjer og genveje der tilbydes i Delphis brugerflade / IDE.

14:00 - 15:00 Imposter Syndrome (Jens Fudge, Archersoft)

Imposter Syndrome er et syndrom der kan ramme alle. Det er en, måske pludselig opstået følelse af, at man i virkeligheden ikke er så dygtig som omgivelserne tilskriver en, og at det kun er et spørgsmål om tid inden man bliver afsløret som den bedrager man er. Følelsen kan være særdeles ubehagelig for den der bliver ramt, og man gætter på at mellem 50 og 70% af alle i tech-branchen rammes mindst én gang i løbet af deres kariere.

Jens vil fortælle lidt dybere om hvilke mekanismer der skaber tilstanden, samt give nogle værktøjer til at holde tilstanden fra døren.

15:00 - 15:15 Kaffepause

15:15 - 16:00 Introduktion til Git (Thomas Vedel)

Git er formodentlig verdens mest anvende versionsstyringssystem. I dette indlæg vil Thomas give en praksisk guide til hvordan man kommer i gang med at bruge det, og hvordan man undgår at køre fast.Thomas vil også vise hvilke fordele / begræsninger der er i at anvende den Git-integration der er indbygget i Delphi.
