About Ian Barker

Ian is the Chief Developer Advocate at Embarcadero. With this role he is used to traveling the world for seminars, conferences and now even for Workshops in Denmark.


Ian produces tons of Webinars for Embarcadero and has a strong passion for not only creating great software but also for sharing his knowledge. Ian has never before attended the DAPUG workshop, but is looking very much forward to it.


Being Embarcadero staff he has promised to answer as many questions he can about the company and about the product. Please note that you can choose to ask the questions you have using the registration form, making it possible for Ian to be prepared for your questions.


When you check the agenda you will notice that this workshop will cover a wider scope of topics than you will normally see, with a strong focus on how to leverage your skills and integrate several technologies in your development using your existing skills within Delphi programming.


We hope to see you at the workshop.

09:30 - Welcome to Ian Barker
09:45 - This is what I do.
We sit down for a discussion on what | really do all day and the things that actually go on for the Developer Advocate. Why did | change some fundamental things we used to do, and what are my plans for 2025.
A confidential briefing (a special presentation for attendees). Includes: AMA ­ ask me anything. An open Q & A about RAD Studio, Delphi, C++Builder, Idera, and Embarcadero. If you submit your questions in advance it helps me reach out to others in the company if I do not know the answer; but I am happy for you to ask me unprepared things too!
10:45 - Break

13:00 - MySQL
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.
14:00 - Break
14:10 - What can you do with Amazon AWS?
An in­depth look at the cloud services offered by Amazon including DynamoDB, Rekognition, simple notification service, S3, and several others. We'll find out what they do, how much they cost (and how to minimize that) and then go through some demo apps to show how we can make use of them ourselves.

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!
