Still trying to wrap my head around the sudden passing away of my friend Paweł last week. Goodbye my friend, you will be missed.

Delphi “The LAB” – 19 september 2017
Er komt een mooi evenement aan met de prachtige gelegenheid om rustig te spreken met de presenters van het evenement in “The LAB”.
Neem de tijd om bij een kopje koffie te praten met elk van de presenters in het restaurant van het Evoluon, maar volg ook de interessante sessies van sprekers als Jens Fudge, Andrea Magni, Bob Swart en David Millington. Vergeet ook de CurieWise C++ Builder sessie van Ludo Stroetenga niet.
Mijn sessie op dit seminar gaat over het oppeppen van bestaande Delphi VCL applicaties. Verplaats de gehate zandloper naar TTasks, poets je User Interface op met fraaie controls en gebruik enkele nieuwe technieken om je code indrukwekkend sneller te maken. In “The LAB” heb je ook nog eens uitgebreid de tijd om me vragen te stellen over het gebruik van TTask, User Interfaces of over het maken van een goede espresso.

Delphi Berlin For Free
Did you know you can use Delphi for free with the free Delphi Berlin Starter edition? If you want you can get started right know:

If you are a hobbyist, a student or just starting your own development, the Starter Edition is just fine. You can develop serious Windows desktop software with this version, as it includes a lot of the features you need, such as support for HTTP(S) requests including JSON and BSON that would allow you to consume WebServices. It even includes FMX, so you could start building visually stunning stuff with DirectX accelerated GUI graphics. Looking at the complete feature set will give you an idea of what’s possible out of the box, and although not mentioned here the ClientDataset in-memory table is actually part of Delphi Starter:

Daniel Wolf did some research on what you can do with the Starter Edition; his conclusion was that you could write software for an airport with Delphi Starter. Read his nicely detailed article here.
And don’t forget, this edition allows you to use and install third-party components as well. And there are a lot of Delphi Components out there.
