Static Analysis with Delphi

Michael Rozlog Embarcadero Technologies

In today’s market and economy, developers need every tool to increase productivity, reduce cost and lower maintenance, while ensuring proper execution in production. One of the truly underutilized tools is a static software audits and metrics . The concept of static analysis has been around for years, and over the past few years, tools to evaluate and diagnose the style of the code have really matured. There are hundreds of software audits and metrics available to developers today in almost any language, including Delphi. These audits and metrics can isolate additional poor-coding practices in various areas like Coding Style, Design Issues, Duplicate Code, Naming Style, Performance, and many others. During this tutorial learn how to take advantage of these great tools inside Delphi.

Improving the quality of your Delphi apps

After this session, you will know how to build and maintain high quality software in a better and more cost effective way.Starting with the “human” factor in the whole software process, we will gradually teach you the ‘craftsmanship’ of software development. While seeing Delphi things from new perspectives you will learn low-cost techniques with a high pay-off. You will learn why it is better to catch bugs early and how to do that. Seeing what’s behind “loose coupling” and “high cohesion” allows you to get to better software architectures, be it in a data centric or logic centric application. We won’t forget your daily coding, and help you with tips, guidelines and tools for writing better software. As this is a workshop, there is plenty of room for discussing your individual wishes and needs.

Silverlight in Delphi Prism

Jim McKeeth RemObjects Software and Podcast at Delphi.org

An in-depth look at Silverlight with Delphi Prism. Covers XAML, Styles, Storyboards (for animation), Data binding, event handling and service binding. Will also go into what is necessary to deploy Silverlight and look at the broader Silverlight ecosystem and how to use it with Delphi Prism.

The Complete Delphi Developer's Guide to ClientDataSets

Cary Jensen Jensen Data Systems, Inc.

ClientDataSets are powerful in-memory data sets that permit you to easily add a wide range of features to your applications, and Cary Jensen is one of the world’s leading experts on the topic. This workshop begins with a detailed look at how to create, configure, and control ClientDataSets. It continues with an examination of the ClientDataSets advanced features, including nested datasets and cloned cursors.

Developing Custom Delphi Components

Ray Konopka Raize Software

Suppose you're working on an application and the control that you are using handles almost everything you need it to, but to really work as you want, it needs to do a little more. Or, suppose you have a really special need and none of the available components will suffice. What do you do? Develop a custom component, of course! And this tutorial will show you how. In the process, you will learn how to design, develop,and test reusable components and controls that leverage the power of the VCL as well as gain a better understanding of how the VCL works. A wide variety of techniques will be discussed and demonstrated with several non-trivial examples.
