KX4 Understanding Linux Shared Objects

Rick Ross
Kylix, allows you to create Linux Shared Objects (SOs) as easily as creating DLLs in Delphi. Linux, however, has certain naming and versioning conventions that can make writing and using them tricky. This session discusses shared objects in depth, giving the background needed to write and use shared objects quickly, efficiently and effectively.

KX7 Advance Components Writing for WebSnap in Delphi and Kylix

Alain "Lino" Tadros (Kazoo Software Inc.)
This session will highlight the fundamentals of the WebSnap architecture and will go through the different pieces that bring this technology together. WebSnap is pretty powerful! But definitely needs a walkthrough. Running demos for WebSnap does not do the trick.Login adapters, LocateFileService, WebUserList, etc… will be demonstrated but mainly a deep look under the hood will be taken.

The databases will also be of the caliber that when an actual DBA or another programmer inherits your system they will not want to go find another job. This is not intended to train you to be a full-fledged DBA, or cover advanced design or performance issues. This is a crash course.

KX14 Ein Web Service als Remote Data Storage

Max Kleiner (Kleiner Kommunikation)
Gezeigt wird der Bau eines Web-Services, der aus einem Client gesammelte Daten via SOAP in einen entfernten Datenserver als File oder Record schreibt. Dem gegenüber steht die Technologie eines Remote Procedure Calls (RPC), sozusagen ein Funktionsmuster der älteren Generation.

KX15 Das Choice Pattern mit Interfaces realisiert

Max Kleiner (Kleiner Kommunikation)
Ein neues Pattern wird mit Interfaces implementiert und vorgestellt.

KX18 Creating Collection Properties

Ray Konopka (Raize Software)
There are several benefits to using collections. The most important is that collections provide automatic streaming support for its items. Plus, collection-based properties have built-in design-time support via a common property editor that is used by all collection-based properties. In this session you'll learn everything you need to know to incorporate collections into your own components.

KX19 Practical Webdevelopment with Delphi/C++Builder

Hadi Hariri
This session has a practical approach. The examples are built step-by-step, introducing new concepts each time.

This will lead to a good debugging methodology that is both usable in Windows and Linux

KX22 Data Access technology – what choices do you have?

Jeroen Pluimers (All Information Management BV)
The abstraction of TDataSet in Delphi 3 opened up the Database architecture a lot. It allowed Borland not only to introduce MIDAS (now called DataSnap), but also make the RAD products less dependent on the BDE. During this session, you will learn the basic principles of how the data-related Delphi component architecture is organized, and what kind of ways you can access your data.

KX23 Advanced SQL – beyond the SELECT * FROM CUSTOMER

Jeroen Pluimers (All Information Management BV)
SQL is a really powerful language, and there are many tips and tricks that help you better SQL. This session drowns you into a practical mix of joins, subqueries, triggers, groupings, havings, inserts, stored procedures and much much more. After the session you have a thoroug understanding how SQL works, and where to get your performance from.

KX30 The Delphi and Kylix Developer's Guide to Interfaces

Cary Jensen (Jensen Data Systems Inc.)
Interfaces are among the most abstract constructs in the Object Pascal language. This presentation provides a complete and detailed look at interfaces, including how they are implemented, how they provide for polymorphism in the absence of inheritance, and how they are used in Delphi to provide support for Microsoft’s Component Object Model (COM) and CORBA (both Delphi and Kylix). This presentation includes examples of interface implementation by delegation, dynamically binding interfaces, as well as interface name resolution. Several real-world examples of how interfaces can be used to implement features are demonstrated, including interfaces that act as data providers (data pump).

KX31 Visual Component Development using Frames

Cary Jensen (Jensen Data Systems Inc.)
The TFrame class in Delphi, Kylix, and C++ Builder permits you to create true visually designed components. This presentation takes a wide-ranging and detailed look at application development using Frames. In addition, the benefits and drawbacks of installing frames into the Object Repository and design-time packages are discussed in detail. Frame templates that employ VFI (visual form inheritance) are also discussed.

KX40 e-Commerce Application Development with Delphi & WebSnap

Bob Swart (Bob Swart Training & Consultancy)
In this follow-up WebSnap session we`ll extend the previous WebSnap application with a Login form, user authentication and access roghts (in order to secure parts of our application as well as individual fields an actions). We`ll also see how to do session managment (for a shopping basket), and examine realworld deployment issues and debugging techniques.

KX41 XML Document Programming with Data Binding and XML Mapper

Bob Swart (Bob Swart Training & Consultancy)
In this session I'll show how Delphi 6 contains three different ways to work with XML Documents, starting with the TXMLDocument component that is a wrapper around the "regular" DOM as well as the IXMLDocument interface. This provides an easy access to XML documents, without design-time and/or XML (document) structure support. For that, we need to advance to the next level with the

Andreas Vogel (VMware)
Virtuelle Maschinen sind kein neues Konzept, sie wurde bereits vor 30 Jahren von IBM entwickelt und auf Grossrechnern zum Einsatz gebracht. VMware hat diese Idee wieder aufgegriffen und fuer die Intel Platform implementiert. Virtuelle Maschinen auf dem Desktop sind weitgehend bekannt. Dieser Votrag widmet sich ihrem Einsatz auf Intel Servern, die damit wesentlich skalierbarer werden.

KX44 Building Database Applications with Delphi and Advantage Database

Cary Jensen (Jensen Data Systems, Inc.), Joachim Dürr (Extended Systems)
If you are not currently using a remote database server in your Delphi database applications, or are unhappy with your current server, you should consider Advantage Database Server. Advantage provides a high-performance, low maintenance, and cost-effective database solution for Windows, Linux, and Netware, making it an ideal solution for most Delphi and Kylix developers.
