Workshop Agenda
Tuesday (Day 1)
How to get it right no matter the platform and some techniques and tricks to add a little extra polish to your existing apps. Including how to properly handle styles in your own components and code, alignment, and HiDPI scaling
Connecting to it using FireDAC and a look at the pros and cons of other alternatives too such as UniDAC and MyDAC. Covering the recent changes in MySQL 8.4 and the challenges it raises such as the enforced "caching sha2 password" which will break every app written for a prior version.
Wednesday (Day 2)
07:00 - Breakfast and CHECK OUT (please check out from your room before 09:00)
Making Delphi do serverside web the right way
We take some hardware devices and off the shelf OEM biometric time clock, some cool loT devices, some cloudhosted devices and sensors and write some code live to talk to them and make something useful.
We try out some of the Al features of RAD Studio 12 and see what we like and do not like about it: spoiler alert - I have some strong opinions on the subject! We'll also discuss my thoughts on Al in the IDE and how Embarcadero arrived at some of the decisions we made. Then we will look at some of the ways to integrate Al in your own apps and come up with and implement some real use cases and actual working code.
Let's take a look at some great open source and commercial projects and see what we can do with them.
