while true do;

This is a very busy time.

Some news:

• RAD STUDIO XE is out
• The ITDevCon time table will be published ASAP. This year I’m working to create a Time Table even more interesting than the last year (not simple!). The speakers will talk about DELPHI XE, RADPHP XE and a*LOT* of DataSnap. Complete list of topic are available in the conference web site home page.
• The italian RADSTUDIO XE events will be held in September, Tuesday 21 ROME and Wednesday 22 MILAN
• Busy time also for this blog… I’m planning some really interesting stuff that I working on:
  • Nice stuff with the Delphi Language
  • MVC framework with scripting engine for web development in Delphi
  • DORM, the Delphi ORM
  • Some real-world samples for the new RAD STUDIO XE

What other to say?

Stay tuned

Also this year I was at Delphi Day with many others bit Time co-workers.
This year I did a speech about Continuous Integration and Unit Test with Delphi.

I showed some of the methodologies and tools that we used in bitTime for long and for whom we also offer training.

Many Delphi programmers and companies should consider adoption of this tecnique for do more and better with the same effort (and the same money).

The event was interesting and was also an opportunity to meet some of the Italian Delphi programmers with which to meet and exchange ideas.

Marco wrote a nice summary of the event in his blog.

My interview at PHP Day 2010 has been published on php.html.it.

This is the link to the article.

This is the video on youtube.

The interview is only in italian language.

Giovedì scorso si è conclusa la prima edizione di ITDevCon, la conferenza europea dedicata interamente a Delphi e alle tecnologie e metodologie ad esso collegate.
Aver partecipato alla sua organizzazione selezionando i contenuti tecnici è stato molto impegnativo, ma visto il successo, altrettanto gratificante.
Ringrazio gli speaker che hanno proposto topic ad alto contenuto informativo e tecnico nonostante alcuni argomeni affrontati richiedessero, probabilmente, più tempo di quello a disposizione (le sessioni sono durate 55 minuti).

Alcuni degli speaker che hanno partecipato, hanno già scritto sui propri blog le loro impressioni.

Pavel Glowacki, che è stato uno degli speaker con più talk, ha pubblicato un meticoloso e lusinghiero resoconto riguardante i 2 giorni di conferenza.

L’ottimo Marco Cantù, con le sue 6 sessioni, come al solito ha contribuito a mantenere molto alto il contenuto tecnico e informativo di ITDevCon.

L’instancabile Boian Mitov, un nome conosciuto ai più per le sue ottime suite di componenti, è stato una delle piacevoli New Entry nell’ecosistema degli eventi “Live” relativi a Delphi. Ha tenuto ben 5 sessioni. Scrivendo della conferenza, sembra avere apprezzato anche la pizza e il vino italiano, concordo pienamente Boian!

Daniel Magin, infine, ha “improvvisato” una sessione riguardo allo sviluppo per iPhone.

In conclusione, ringrazio tutti gli speaker che hanno partecipato e hanno contribuito alla riuscita dell’evento.
Abbiamo fortemente voluto che questa conferenza fosse anche un momento di confronto, formazione e uno sguardo verso il mondo “Non Delphi” con l’obbiettivo di migliorare il “Mondo Delphi”.
E i primi feedback sono stati incoraggianti.

Ecco alcuni link ai blog degli speaker che hanno parlato di ITDevCon.

Grazie di cuore a tutti, ci vediamo l’anno prossimo!

Tomorrow I travel to Verona to the ITDevCon the Italian Delphi Conference.
The conference will be at 11-12 november, and will be REALLY great!

You can see the time table here.

At this conference I will speak about:

• Marshal e UnMarshal in Delphi 2010
• Enterprise Data Access patterns in Delphi
• Delphi e i messaging systems… ZeroMQ + AMQP e ActiveMQ + STOMP

My speeches will be in italian language only.

See you in Verona!

From July 17th to August 2nd, The Foro Italico (in Rome) will be the heart of the 13th FINA World Championships Roma 2009, for swimming, diving, synchronised swimming and water polo. Four permanents pools and two temporary pools will be the set of the competitions for the four competitive disciplines, and all the venue will turn into a village that will host and entertain all night long over 400.000 people during 17 days of contests.

Now you are thinking: where is Delphi ?

Delphi is used (as usual) without knowing you are using it.

A software built with Delphi is used to manage the opening ceremony.
This software is designed to do the very complex attendee placement in the audience and to automate the invitation process.
The attendees will be VIP from Italy and international countries, starting from the italian president, the highest authority in Italy.

Cerimoniere

You can have a look at the software CERIMONIERE here (but the site is in Italian, sorry)

I actively participated in the design and development of this software, and now that I see it in action, in a so important and internationally well known event, I’m very proud of it, and I’m sure any member of the great Delphi community will be as well.

When I was at Delphi Live in San Jose, I attended Marco Cantù and Cary Jensen Masterclass about Delphi Multithreading.
Although, I’m expert of multi threading techiques and the related problems, this masterclass was very interesting and well organized as well.

IMHO, the topics have been presented in very effective manner and, as usual, in a very professional way.

After their speech, Marco introduced me to “Delphi Developer Days”.

I’ll do my best to attend their event in London.

Following some references in case you want also attend:
