Robust OOP Applications
Delphi provides a robust environment and architecture for your applications, but doens't
make them error-free. Although it is impossible to be sure that an application will never
fail, there are many techniques that help writing correct code... and reduce your debugging
time. This presentation provides a broad overview of these techniques, touching on some topics
and getting in depth on others.

Allen Bauer - Chief Scientist CodeGear
An audience with Allen Bauer
There have been a significant number of changes with the team and organization that brings us Delphi, changes both organizational and technical that have significantly affected the team. Central to what has been happening and indeed one of the central play-makers is CodeGear Chief Scientist Allen Bauer.
Join Allen as he talks about what it means to be Chief Scientist of a hugely popular and successful product like Delphi, get the scoop on all the behind the scenes action at CodeGear with Allen’s anecdotes and stories, learn how CodeGear took an idea from inception to execution in 3 ½ months, and what processes needed to be in place for that, discover how the “culture” of CodeGear is developing and how the value “Developers Matter” is baked into everything that CodeGear is doing. Watch as Allen rolls up his sleeves and gets technical with us, and shows us his favourite bits of Delphi and Delphi for PHP, and of course lets us all take advantage of Allen’s generous offer to field lots of questions, in what is shaping up to be a fantastic interactive session.

how to work around the problems caused by the hidden window of the Application global object,
and how to handle the new system font. Some time will also be devoted to cover new APIs, including
the TaskDialogs and the extended Common Dialogs.

Allen Bauer - Chief Scientist CodeGear
Allen joined Borland in early 1992 as an entry level engineer on the Turbo Pascal development team.
He was also one of the original developers of the award-winning Delphi product throughout its inception,
initial and all subsequent releases. During this period, Allen worked on both the application frameworks
and the Integrated Development Environment (IDE). Allen was responsible for the re-design of the Delphi IDE
into a multi-language, general purpose environment which now forms the basis of the Developer Studio.

Paul Klink - Paritech
Paul is a long time Delphi developer who works in the area of financial systems – especially real time data
systems. He originally began programming in the area of industrial process control but moved into the financial
area after discovering Delphi. Paul over-indulges in programming at home and is constantly trying to overcome this weakness.

based on years of membership. Details of early bird and full pricing follow:

To qualify for member pricing
- you must be a financial member at the time of registration
- your membership application date must be prior to Feb 1st
2007
If your membership lapsed recently you can renew it. Recently means
your membership renewal date is later than June 30, 2006. You can
check your renewal date by going to the members services login.
If your name appears in the drop-down list you are either financial
or recently lapsed. If your renewal date has passed you are not
financial and need to renew. Note that a membership status of "Current"
does *not* mean you are financial. This field is for internal use,
and changes to "Lapsed" some time after you have failed
to renew your membership.
