Yes, it is a bit late, but this year has been really difficult to choose between all the speeches proposals arrived from all over the world. The new Delphi XE2 version (and the RAD Studio XE2 Suite too) are really full of new cool features and many of the best delphi developers want to show what can be done in Delphi XE2.

WARNING! I’ve been authorized by EMBARCADERO to write about RAD Studio XE2. RAD Studio XE2 is full of nice and exciting features. One of the most awaited of them is the LiveBindings. The LiveBindings is available to the VCL and the new FireMonkey framework and allows to connect a property object to another using an expression and a set of observers.

WARNING! I’ve been authorized by EMBARCADERO to write about RAD Studio XE2. RAD Studio XE2 is full of nice and exciting features. One of the most interesting IMHO is the DataSnap extension called “Mobile Connectors”. In the past, I’ve talked about connecting and using your datasnap REST service with Android, creating ad-hoc json messages and manually parsing the returned json messages.

Blaise Pascal Issue no.17 contains the first part of my articles about “DataSnap and Android”. During this series I’ll show how to write a complete TODO application using Delphi DataSnap Server and an Android thin client. Have a good reading.

![The Android Conference](/images/2011/06/home-bugdroid.png Yes! This is a great news! Before the two-days conference dedicated to Delphi, this year there will be the AndroidConference. The Android Conference The Android Conference will be a conference focused on Google Android development. Android is one of the most popular OS in the world. Now you can use it for your mobile applications.

Dear potential ITDevCon speaker, I’m building the agenda for next ITDevCon 2011 that will be held in late october in Verona, the same location of the past year. Dates will be announced ASAP. The call for papers are officially open right now, so if you want to propose some speeches, I’ll be glad to see it.

\ In this webinar I’ll show how to develop Android application talking with REST PHP WEB Services. After introducing the basic concepts, attendees of this session will be taken through how to REST-enable the server application, before building the client application targeting an Android phone. Topics covered in this webinar include:

My new white paper about “Developing Application Services with PHP Servers and Android Phone Clients” is on line under the Embarcadero RAD-in-Action initiative. \ Are (or will be) available: The White Paper The complete source code from the white paper 2 videos showing a complete (obviously very simple) Android application interfacing with a PHP REST web service (developer with RAD PHP XE).

Last Friday ended the second edition of ITDevCon, the European Conference on Delphi and its related technologies. ITDevCon This year was even bigger. There have been more present, more sponsors, more speakers, more topics and a lot of people with the desire to learn new things and improve their every day work.

Last week I returned from Brazil where I had been to speak to the Delphi Conference. The conference was held in St. Paul who, like many Brazilians will be able to confirm, is not a typical Brazilian city. The warmth of local people has been exemplary. Andreano Lanusse has organized all in a really valuable way.
