Feb 24 Webinar - Attract more users to your Delphi & C++Builder applications by leveraging new Windows 10 APIs

Last Wednesday, February 17, I presented a webinar that showed you how to easily move your existing Delphi and C++Builder VCL applications forward with the new Windows 10 look, feel and new components and have the apps run on Windows 7,8 and 10. Tomorrow, Wednesday, February 24, 2016 I will present a follow on webinar that shows you how to add Windows 10 specific features to your existing Delphi and C++Builder VCL applications.

Webinar Description:

This webinar shows you how to enhance your existing Delphi and C++ VCL Windows applications with new Windows 10 capabilities including Local Notifications, Application Sharing Contracts and 40 new WinRT API units. You will learn key new Windows 10 UI paradigms and how you can leverage them for both existing and new Windows applications. You’ll learn how to move your applications forward and attract new customers by taking advantage of new Windows 10 features. The webinar will include detailed technical demonstrations.
