On March 12th in Brussels and on March 5th in Hoofddorp Barnsten is hosting a free event in which you will see how to use the power of Delphi to create a fully functional auctioning software suite in just one day.
During this day Pawel Glowacki and I will make all software live, combining the power of VCL with that of FireMonkey. For the backoffice, AWS S3 Cloud storage, REST, FireDac JSON Reflection, Interbase and EC2. We will also make the frontend, an Android app for Auction Masters to add items for bidding (REST + Cloud) and an Android app that attendees can use to actually bid on the items (REST + EC2). Bluetooth LE is used as well, to do over-the-air authorization. There is even some parallel programming involved, don’t worry we’ll keep it light. The day will be concluded with a live auction, allowing you to do virtual bids using the Android app just created.
