BorCon Screen Videos
Videos of my Talks
This year Borland has asked speakers of its Developers Conference 05 to capture the screen (with slides and demos) during their presentations, along with the audio. So, again, here is a list of the (updated) links to the sessions and BoF sessions I gave. The 2 main sessions (VCL for .NET and Delphi Design Patterns) include also a paper and the source code. There is also the source code of the AJAX talk, which a few people asked for (and I still had no time to clean up and publish on my web site). The AJAX talk, however, has no video recording.
- Delphi Design Patterns
- VCL for .NET
- AJAX in Delphi
- OR Mapping with InstantObjects
- The Fun Side of Delphi and C++Builder
Let me point out that the audio recording is often confused/noisy, making some of the talks hard to follow... even for someone who know the content like me. Of course, you can browse the conference archives to find many more videos by other speakers.
More Conference Pictures (including me)
I've already posted the link to my own conference pictures. I've notice a lot of pictures on the conference proceedings material. They include 1-2-3 pictures of me on stage with with Boz (for his keynote) and one in which I'm playing table soccer (was a fun match, and I really like this game) in the so-called arcade night.

About the VCL.NET BorCon Paper...
I enjoyed a lot reading the BorCon Paper about "VCL for .NET". Recently, I have dealt with the porting of a "company package" (a custom VCL package filled with components for internal use of my software company). During the porting process, I have incurred in many of the pitfalls explained in that paper, so it's good to see them listed and written down just to compare the adopted solutions to solve them. I think that Borland had made a really great work with VCL.NET! Now I have a good bunch of components (with editors and wizards) divided into 4 packages: two packages (runtime and designtime) for both Win32 and .NET platforms that include the same (single) source files! So, I can port any existing corporate application from Win32 to .NET and back, or use my handmade and beloved components to produce "fresh" .NET application (if someone ask me that) in a better way than WinForms does (due to limitations and - in my opinion - poorness of this library: no Data Modules, no cross module reference, no ActionList, ...). Thanks to OOP and polymorphism, I kept the code as clean as possible without cluttering it with tons of {$IFDEF} declarations; I think this makes easy to search, modify and expand the code or implement new platform specific components and controls. Seeing them in action on two completely different platform, from a native and unmanaged one to a garbage collected managed one, is really a pleasure! :-) I am sure I'll blog about my experience as soon as possible to let more people know about what can be done (or not) using VCL.NET, which is often being underestimated and simply considered the "dark side of VCL (Win32)".
