ADUG is excited to announce our 2024 Annual Symposium will be held on 17th May 2024.

Save time - Details and Registration web page here for 2024 ADUG Symposium

Join us for the day and expand your knowledge of the Delphi ecosystem. Four speakers will present on different areas of interest.

Topics range from building web applications, understanding security challenges and how to meet them, keeping code relevant over the long term, to new directions in the FastReports’ world.
• Tim Young gives us a tour of Elevate Web Builder. Build both your client and server web application quickly and easily using the familiar techniques we use in Delphi.
• Alister Christie shares practical strategies to bolster the security of Delphi applications. Join us for an illuminating session as we explore the challenges and strategies to fortify your Delphi applications against the ever-changing landscape of security threats.
• Mark Fletcher shows us how 2 million lines of code from the 1990s has been kept relevant into the 2020s. His team has navigated from an outright purchase model to SAAS, moved from a single retail channel vertical focus to a 16-channel ‘vertical’ focus and embraced integrations to lean into change.
• Michael Philippenko takes us through a brief review of the latest developments in FastReports, followed by discussion of support of the latest standards for displays, documents (bar-codes and PDF signification), multithreading in printing, and HTML and PDF two-side integration.

This ADUG symposium is being held in Melbourne and streamed online.

For those in Melbourne, come to The Bridge Mordialloc for a full day of talks, refreshments, lunch and the famous prize draw at the end of the sessions. There is a separate bistro dinner at the venue for those who wish to spend more time catching up with old friends and making new ones. Mark Fletcher will be joining us to present.

For those outside Melbourne, the day is streamed. If you live in a time zone that makes viewing all sessions difficult, recordings of sessions will be available to registered attendees.

Make the most of the opportunity to hear these speakers discussing topics relevant to developing secure, long-term systems for different application types.

I think this should generate a lot of interest among business owners who are depending on Delphi over time …

Regrettably, my streak of attending every ADUG symposium to date will come to an end. I’ll be travelling interstate on the 17th. :frowning:
Which begs the question… when was the first one? Pre-2000? @Malcolm would know. His dedication to ADUG trumped his own honeymoon. (Did I get that right Malcolm?)

Well, I hesitate to admit that, in case my wife ever reads this. But I can tell you the first Symposium was in Melbourne on Friday the 19th of March, 1999. The reason I know the day and date is because I flew home and got married that weekend. Any suggestion I influenced the wedding date to allow me to attend is pure, baseless speculation :slight_smile:

Didn’t she find out and break your leg a few years ago so you couldn’t attend :thinking: :smirk:

For 25 years, since 1998, Fast Reports has been making the work of reporting and business analysis for programmers fast and efficient through the use of their libraries and tools for generating reports and documents from databases and other data sources.

Fast Reports components are the basis of hundreds of thousands of programs in different programming languages and for different platforms:

.NET Core, RAD Studio, Visual Studio, Lazarus, Mono, and others. The products are localized in more than 40 languages, and are used by over 20,000 developers in 130 countries.

This year we are excited to welcome Michael Philippenko to the ADUG Symposium to hear about the latest developments in FastReports. This includes

  • what’s new
  • the latest improvements for end-users
  • new design time tools for developers

Michael will be joining us online to share his news and discuss these developments, as well as explaining the latest standards for displays and documents (bar-code and PDF signification).
He will also touch on multi-threading in printing, and HTML and PDF two-side integration.

ADUG 2024 Symposium Session 1 - Tim Young : Building a Full-Featured Web Application with Delphi

Have you created anything for the web yet? Whether you are new to this part of the development environment or have been programming for the web for some time, there are always new things to learn.

Elevate Web Builder, currently at version 3.02 has been a mainline product for Elevate Software ever since it was first released in 2011.

Leverage your Delphi knowledge in this rapid application development environment for both client and server web applications.

It is simple and easy to create beautiful web applications by dragging and dropping components in a custom-designed WYSIWYG IDE. Developers can then use both the component inspector and code editor to modify component properties and add the necessary code to implement the desired application behaviors.

Elevate Web Builder is for developing both client web applications and server applications using a single language. It features a compiler that compiles Object Pascal source code to both JavaScript (client) and interpreted object code (server); tools that automatically create and transform source code for designer objects and event handlers; and an extensive runtime and component library for building beautiful and functional client and server web applications quickly and easily.

Join developer Tim Young from Elevate Software for a tour of the product, and find out how you can use Elevate Web Builder to create full-featured web applications quickly and easily.
