Next week I'll join Embarcadero regional partner Grey Matter to present the latest release of RAD Studio in Ireland and England.
The first event is on Tuesday, March 5th, at Dublin City University during the morning. Given the location the first session will be an introduction with a significant focus on Community Edition and its role, while a second session will be focused more on existing customers and code migration and application modernization. More information and sign up at https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/rad-studio-1031-live-with-marco-cantu-dublin-tickets-56196767043.
The second event is on Wednesday, March 6th at Wellcome Collection in London, during the afternoon. This will be a more standard presentation with a roadmap session and the same session on modernization and code migration. And a drink at the end. More information and sign up at https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/rad-studio-1031-live-with-marco-cantu-london-tickets-56348046524.
At both events I'll have time for questions, chatting, and even possibly spend some time together over a beer with anyone local. Feel free to ping me directly over email to arrange. I'm looking forward to meet customers and developers interested in evaluating our tools, so feel free to extend the invite to other developers you know.

Presenting RAD Studio 10.3.1 in Dublin and London Next Week
Marco,
We did very welcome the community edition and also the work
done on the product itself. Still, there are more to do so that more
companies use Delphi. When company does not choose Delphi, it
is because of two things: 1) Pascal is not a C like language 2)
Delphi is good for single developer or for a very small teams. So
you have to argument and improved on this two points. Here some
suggestion:
Well a lot of people start to learn SQL and not C. The SQL syntax
is closer to Pascal than C :-)! And with Object pascal you serve all
platform with one language with the exception of client side web
application where you can rely on Ext JS, but this is an other story.
The second point (Delphi is good for single developer or for a
very small team) is the more critical. I see big company working
with C#, WPF, and MVVM. There are benefit of using of
separating the UI and the business logic / the data. You end up
working on more files but with a clear separation of concern so
that more developers can work on the same code base (but not in
the same file) simultaneously.
I would say, Delphi language is perhaps missing something like
ICommand and data binding on steroid, INotifyPropertyChanged?
There are also few things you could improve when marketing
Delphi. There are no Delphi tutorial on Linked In, and it is not
even possible to enter "Delphi" as skill... The are many article in
Wikipedia, comparing features between language but Delphi is not
listed in theses articles, so you may go through all that stuff
because before to learn a language people read them.
Delphi is very productive programming Environment. You can do
more with less, and that is still perfect for start up.
I think also that Rad Server and Firedac should be also included in
the community edition. Actually you need at least a Delphi Pro.
Restriction on earning is enough. There should be no restriction on
feature in the community edition. Restriction on platform
(windows/Linux/OSX) is OK for the community edition.
best regards
Dr Alexandre Jacquot
