Ray Konopka - Component Building: Fundamentals


This session focuses on the fundamental techniques required for building robust Delphi components. We build a custom component, showing the key classes from which all components descend, followed by an analysis of the anatomy of a component. We conclude with a discussion on the proper way to distribute custom components through runtime and design packages.

In this session, the author will show you how easy it is to write and read a document and to be notified of changes in the database with the new object-to-document wrapper.

Patrick Prémartin - Synchronize your databases


Our users want to access their data from anywhere, on any type of device, with or without an Internet connection. Some also want to work together offline or online, remotely or on-site, on desktops, laptops, smartphones or tablets. Here's an easy-to-implement solution in Delphi to transform any local database into a synchronized one.
