Just back home from fabulous Delphi and C++Builder "The LAB" conference today in Eindhoven (the city of Philips), The Netherlands. What a day! Lots of programmers gathered to learn something new and get inspired! One photo is a thousand of words:-) The LAB conference started from few words from Raymond Horsten, who is owner and the main director of Barnsten, the company that represents Embarcadero to Benelux and France, and organized this great international event! After the keynote Jens Fu...

Summer holiday is already over and traditionally September is a busy month for live and online events. In two weeks from today, on Tuesday, September 19th, 2017, there will be big The LAB international Delphi and C++Builder conference organised by Barnsten, Embarcadero partner for Benelux and France, in Evoluon in Eindhoven. This is a very nice location, quite close to the Eindhoven airport that looks a bit like a space saucer. Same place as last year. The LAB means that all attendees are enc...

The Embarcadero Conference 2016 Brazil is now very close, so I thought about sharing some facts about the event. 1) That event is the largest Delphi and C++ Builder developers conference in the world, we have around 500 attendees every year, and we are expecting more for the next October 26th. 2) We are growing in content and space if compared with all the previous years: 7 tracks, 48+ speeches, 50+ hours of valuable content, everything in one day! 3) There are attendees from the entire count...

The power of 21st century technology today in action: doing live Delphi presentation during CASE28 Conference in Croatia without leaving my office in Amsterdam! I really love going to Croatia and it is my favourite destination for SCUBA diving. Sometimes you just cannot be physically present in too many locations in short periods of time:-) The presentation today was not too technical, however I have tried to demonstrate how easy it is to use Delphi and - using Rapid Application Development me...

Just back from Software Development Conference in Israel. There was probably around 600 attendees gathered in Hilton Tel Aviv hotel. It is always great to meet existing, loyal Delphi developers. They are very happy with the latest versions of RAD Studio. At conferences like this it is also interesting to meet developers new to Delphi and C++Builder. Embarcadero message of "native multi-device development from one source code" resonates very well and developers love the possibility t...

That's the title of my presentation at Dog Food Conference 2014, 29-30 September, in Columbus, Ohio. If you found my post on "Test-Only Development" with the Z3 Theorem Prover was interesting, then you'll love this. What if simply writing "unit tests" was enough to produce a program which makes them pass? What if your compiler could guarantee that your OpenSSL replacement follows the TLS specification to the letter? What if you could write a test which showed that your code had no unintention...

That's the title of the presentation I'll be giving at CloudDevelop 2014, on October 17th, in Columbus, Ohio. If you read my blog at all then you're probably interested in where software development will be headed five years in the future. Two things I recommend that you study are proving systems and homomorphic encryption. I've written about proving systems in the past, and will have more to say in the future, but today we'll talk about homomorphic encryption. Homomorphic encryption will ...
