May Meeting on 5/28/08 - Linux and Linux Distros for the Uninitiated

This month Larry Lichtmann Will be our presenter.

The open-source Linux operating system has been a significant presence in the server world for some time, and, though still a sliver on the client systems market share pie chart, it is increasingly seen as a viable alternative to Windows for personal computer users. This talk is a basic introduction for the technically savvy but still virgin on the workings of the Linux operating system. The distinction between “Linux” and a “Linux Distro” will illuminated, and a survey of the most important distros will be presented.

Virtual Explosion: A Survey of Virtualization Software for Real Developers

This months meeting will be on April 23th and will be presented by Larry Lichtmann & Robert Baker

A previous talk by one of us (LL) introduced OCDUG to the value of OS virtualization (in its incarnation as VMWare) for the working software developer. Some years have passed, "virtualization" now ranks somewhere just below "Web 2.0" and "AJAX" as an industry buzzword, and virtualization options have multiplied faster than rabbits on Cialis®. This talk will review the choices now available, including the spectrum of offerings from consensus segment leader VMWare; those from the industry's 500-lb parakeet, Microsoft, real and vapor; as well as a selection of open-source applications, of both the "immaculate conception" and "first hit free" varieties. No liquor will be served, but programs will be demonstrated.

Don't miss this one, everyone can benefit from virtualization.

The meeting will be at 7pm and as always will last about 2 hours. Rumor has it pizza will be served so arrive early for the best seats and the hottest pizza.

Feb 27th meeting - Delphi 4 PHP & facebook fundamentals

This month, Jim Hunter will be speaking on the fundamentals of a facebook application using Delphi for PHP.

Arrive early for a good seat. Pizza will most likely be served.

Jan 2008 meeting on 1/23/08

As of right now, there is no specific topic for this months meeting. If there is anyone that would like to do a presentation then please get a hold of Steve Kramer or myself as soon as possible. Otherwise it will be a general discussion round table. The Feb meeting will be me talking about using Delphi for PHP to develop Facebook applications. So you will get some knowledge on the Delphi for PHP IDE and on the Facebook API.

Thanks,
Jim Hunter

May meeting on 5/23/07, new Delphi open source RAD Framework

What was RAD 12 years ago is neither rapid nor robust by today's standards. Business logic and SQL statements in handcrafted user interfaces make development slow and fragile.

Join Steve Kramer as he introduces his new open source RAD Framework for Delphi Win32 that Derails Rails, Pulverizes PHP, Nukes .NET and Eradicates ECO. You won't believe your eyes!

April meeting on 4/25/07 An Introduction to Delphi for PHP

This month Jim Hunter will be presenting an introduction to Delphi for PHP. Most of the evening will be using the program and not on viewing slides. By the time the evening is over you should have a good idea of what you can and can't do with Delphi for PHP. So come on down and bring your questions and we'll see what sort of trouble we can get into.

Testing 101, part #2 - finally (I know, again)

This month Greg Stevenson will continue his talks on testing applications and code pieces. Here is what he has to say: "As applications become more and more complex, there is increasing need to verify that every change does what it was intended to do and that the change has no unforeseen side-effects. This presentation will introduce the participants to a wide variety of testing methodologies including: Unit, Functional, Web, Load, Stress, Regression, White/Gray/Black-Box, etc. and how they relate to one another to create a unified approach to testing software. TestComplete 5 (just released!) will be used as a demonstration framework for these concepts. However this will not be a vendor presentation, and other products as well as open source solutions will also be discussed."

Black Out!

Sorry about that for all of you that showed up for the meeting last night only to find the building in total darkness. There was a tree next to the building that could not survive the wind and dropped part of itself onto the power lines below causing a line breakage thus causing the power outage in the building. Greg swears that it wasn't his fault and assures us that we will (eventually) get to see the remaining part of his presentation, but we're just not sure right now when that will be. Stay tuned for further developments...

August meeting in 2 days! 3rd Party tools to make your life better.

August Meeting on 8/23. Tools, Tools and more Tools!
This month Greg Stevenson will be in to briefly talk about ModelMaker Explorer, AQTime, Test Complete and Automated Build Studio. All of these tools can help you get your work done faster, allow you to recognize logic problems, create better program and overall become better human beings! And who doesn't want to be a better human being?

If you have a medium sized application that will run in Delphi 7, that doesn't require a bunch of 3rd party controls, bring it with you and we'll run it through AQTime to see how it shapes up and find out where your bottlenecks are.

So come early to get a good seat. Rumor has it there will be pizza and we are also having a drawing for a piece of logging software from Gurok called SmartInspect.

July meeting - Multi-threaded programming made easy.

This months meeting will be held next week on 7/26/06.

We will have Christian Wilkerson as our presenter. Christian says "Delphi makes Multi-threaded programming easy…to get started. However, it can be quite difficult to actually write anything that’s not going to crash. In this presentation I’ll cover stability issues, database access within a thread, and if there’s time, how to encapsulate your multi-threaded code into a component. Invite a friend!"

March meeting on 3/22/06! Delphi 2006 Part 1

The meeting this month on 3/22/06, will be the start of a series of meeting focusing on Delphi 2006. We will attempt to show you why this is the best thing to come out of Borland in a long time. We hope to show you all the reasons you need to upgrade. And in our opinion, the upgrade is well worth the money. This month we will be focusing on the two things that you will need to know to get started: The ins and outs of the IDE and things that you need to know when moving your application from Delphi 7 to Delphi 2006.

Important Message From David I, Borland

To our loyal developer community:

Today, Wednesday February 8, 2006 at 1am Pacific Time, Borland announced plans to seek a buyer for our IDE product lines that include Delphi, C++Builder, C#Builder, JBuilder (and Peloton), InterBase, JDataStore, nDataStore, Kylix, and our older Borland and Turbo language products and tools. The goal is to create a standalone business focused on advancing individual developer productivity using the people inside Borland who are focused on the success of these award winning products.

It is not a trivial decision to separate our IDE business from our ALM business. As we look back over the past two years and how we have operated as a company, we have continually had to weigh every dollar investment in our ALM and developer products. All too often we have chosen to invest in ALM, because of our stated direction around ALM growth and market opportunity. But we all know that our loyal customer base demands more. There is tremendous potential that has been untapped due to the company's focus towards an enterprise go-to-market model, with an emphasis on a more consultative, lifecycle sale forcing us to invest more into our ALM products, ALM marketing, and our enterprise field model. This is a very different model from our mostly channel-focused, direct-to-developer marketing, and delivery model (using shrink wrapped boxes and e-shop downloads).

Focus is a key success factor in business. With this announcement, both companies will have the focus they need to thrive and help our customers be successful. I think it's great that Borland is letting us be part of a new focused company that brings together the team that is passionate about developers and development. We want to continue to create the best solutions and technology for the benefit of you, our community of developers. We are developers working on developer products for our customers who are developers. This is a special relationship that is unique in software. We get to work on products that we use ourselves and that our developer community love.

I started using Turbo Pascal v1.0 in November of 1983 when Philippe Kahn gave me a copy at Comdex Las Vegas. I put it in my IBM PC and knew immediately that this was something different. From that day, I knew I wanted to go to work for Borland. I started working at Borland on June 17, 1985 and for the past 20+ years I have had the pleasure of being a part of a great company and a great community of software developers. I've had the luxury and pleasure to manage the compiler group in R&D in the early Turbo Language days. For the past 15 years I've run Developer Relations allowing me (and our team) to travel around the world to visit with tens of thousands of programmers. I get to come to work every day and collaborate with the best developer focused software engineers on the planet.

I'm really excited to be moving to the new company. We've got the right team members, we've got the tool and component partner eco-system, we have the authors, trainers, consultants, and we have the most important part - a loyal community. Our new company will be focused completely on you and your success. Yes, both companies will have a focus on software development. Both are going to advance the state-of-the-art and best practices. They'll just do it in different ways. Ours will do it by focusing on developer productivity and building great application development products using our award winning IDEs, tools, component libraries, class libraries, and database technologies. Borland will do it by addressing the needs of larger organizations, helping them optimize their software delivery.

I was asked today by Daryl Taft of eWeek magazine, "As Borland's longest term employee, how does the spin-off hit you?" I answered by saying, I am moving forward as part of the new company with a huge smile on my face and a small tear in my eye.

I want to assure all of you that we are here in Scotts Valley, and around the world, working on future versions of Delphi, JBuilder and our other products. We are still listening to your needs, issues, and suggestions. We are tracking with the new platform initiatives for Windows, .NET, Java, open standards, and emerging technologies that you want to leverage.

This is the right thing to do for our IDE business. It's the right thing to do for Borland's ALM focus. Our priority is to ensure a smooth and successful migration for our developer customer base, and create a vehicle for giving it greater investment, focus and growth. This is not the shutting down of a product line, but the empowering of it. This move is in the best interests of our customers, company, and community.

The buyer of our IDE product lines has not yet been identified, but I and other members of our developer team are working with Borland's executive management to ensure that we identify the right buyer who will advance the IDE business. Borland is committed to its customers first and foremost, and taking care of their ongoing needs. We will keep you informed along the journey.

Go Borland. Go New Company. Go Developers!!!

Feb meeting on 2/22/06 - Delphi 2006

This month we are going to have Borland in showing us all the new and interesting things in Delphi 2006. We are not sure at this time who the Borland rep will be, but as soon as we do we'll let you know. Plant to be there early as seating will be tight due to the fact that Borland usually brings in product for our raffle. At the LADUG meeting, there were 2 copies of Delphi Developer Studio Professional and one copy of Delphi Developer Studio Architecht that were in the drawing (Thanks again David!).

So be there early! Don't miss this one or you could miss some free software.

eyebol Pascal Analyzer v2 just released
Posted by webmaster on Saturday, January 12 @ 11:02:26 CST (215 reads)

eyebol writes "Just released is version 2.00b of eyebol pascal analyzer. It has many unique features. Not only are there over 50 new hints and warnings but many have fixes that you can automatically apply to your code, either one at a time at the press of a button or through the project rewrite option. Don't worry - a backup is always taken.

PerpetuumSoft writes "At last, event that was awaited for a long time by the whole developers’ community and that is expected to make developers work much easier happened – final release of .Net Framework 3.5 featuring LINQ technology is published.
