Agenda

The goal is for a smaller and more interactive conversation in these and related topics, so this agenda will certainly evolve as the day goes on, but we wanted to have something to start with…
  • 12:00 Welcome
  • 12:30 What’s new in Delphi 12 Athens
  • 01:30 (Don’t) do it the Delphi way: Improve your code and coding
  • 02:30 VCL Layout Techniques

(Don’t) do it the Delphi way: Improve your code and coding with Kees de Kraker

There are certain techniques we should all apply when coding and ones we should definitely not. Part of it includes your attitude in the workplace, others are purely code based. Come to learn more about how to improve your code and coding.

VCL Layout Techniques with Ray Konopka

Today’s computers utilize a wide variety of display sizes including High-DPI displays and 4K monitors. Developers rely on layout techniques to create a responsive user interface that can handle varying display sizes. This session focuses on the various VCL layout techniques available in RAD Studio. Traditional layout techniques such as the Align and Anchors properties and the TPanel control are briefly covered, but more emphasis is given to more recent additions like the Windows 10 inspired TRelativePanel along with the TStackPanel and TCardPanel.

How Skia Revolutionizes FMX & VCL with Jim McKeeth

As of 12.0 the Skia4Delphi library is fully integrated into both VCL and FMX libraries for Delphi. Discover what changes this brings and the new features and possibilities unlocked by this revolutionary change to our favorite GUI libraries.
