Creating Custom VCL Components

Ray Konopka Raize Software

This tutorial will provide you with everything you need to get started building your own custom VCL controls. In the process, you will learn how to design, develop, and test reusable components and controls that leverage the power of the VCL. Topics include understanding the component building process, the architecture of the VCL, the anatomy of a component, and effective package design. This information will then be applied to construct a new custom component, which will then be enhanced in a variety of ways through several iterations.

Multithreading Master Class with Marco Cantu and Cary Jensen

Cary Jensen Jensen Data Systems, Inc. Marco Cantù Wintech Italia Srl

With the steady increase of server-side development, which is by its very nature is multithreaded, as well as the prevalence of multi-core processors, the needs and benefits of multithreaded code are increasing. But there are inherent dangers in multithreaded code, and it must be done correctly. In this power workshop, Marco and Cary share with you the techniques you need to write code that runs reliably in a concurrent (and increasingly parallel) environment. Topics discussed include creating and managing threads, the many techniques for thread synchronization, threads and database access, and common pitfalls to avoid. The new language features of both Delphi 2009 and Delphi Prism that aid and improve your code in a multithreaded environment are also discussed.
