Want to send push notifications to your clients or employees? This session goes over setting up GCM, installing push notifications into your application, and calling GCM to push those messages to your app.
This session helps developers who have been working with a Centralized Version Control System such as SVN to understand and use Distributed Version Control such as GIT or Mercurial. This session focuses primarily on GIT, but applies to Mercurial. We also cover how to use GIT from the RAD Studio IDE.
If you need to manage distributed data over multiple locations then don’t miss the product address for InterBase! The next generation of InterBase is coming soon and will be super charged with a powerful new change tracking engine that makes managing distributed datasets a whole load easier!
Working with PDF and Office Documents using VCL and FireMonkey
In this session, we take a deep look into the all-new multi-format document processing toolset for Delphi from Gnostice. We take a brief look at architectural details of the product and then go into using the product. You’ll get to see real code examples for viewing, printing, converting and processing documents in Delphi VCL and FireMonkey on Desktop and mobiles devices. You’ll also see examples of document processing using the new Gnostice REST-based document server.
A column of a ClientDataSet can contain a dataset, a tabular structure containing one or more columns and zero or more records. This presentation continues Cary Jensen’s CodeRage series on ClientDataSets by looking at this power field type.

ClientDataSets are in-memory tables that have been in RAD Studio since Delphi 3, but there’s a new kid in town, the FireDAC FDMemTable. This presentation, by ClientDataSet expert Cary Jensen, compares and contrasts these in-memory table classes, providing you with guidance on which to use and when.

A Dark Pattern is a type of user interface that appears to have been carefully crafted to trick users into doing things, such as buying insurance with their purchase or signing up for recurring bills.
We developers have a big responsibility. Martin Fowler and Erik Dörnenburg (both ThoughtWorks) did a great presentation about that at the GOTO Aarhus 2014 Conference.
A quote:
“The developer who wrote that code is every bit as responsible as the person who told them to do it. You have a choice. You have a responsibility to ensure that your users are well treated and to reject dark patterns,” says Fowler. “We have a whole profession of people writing software and doing enormous things to change the way we live in the world.”
