Things have been hectic since the XE4 launch. We’ve had in-person events in lots of countries around Asia. I’ve done Japan, South Korea and Taiwan, but they’ve also been happening in Australia (with ADUG) and China, and we’ve had lots of webinars as well.
What has been really encouraging is the number of new people at the events. I’ve spoken to Xcode developers, Visual Studio developers and Java developers across multiple countries who are all trying out Delphi for the first time. Read On…
The ADUG (Australian Delphi User Group) hold two, one-day conferences in the first half of the year, and each year they “import” a keynote speaker. They’ve just put out the call for papers for 2013, so if you’d like to score a free trip to Australia to present to a bunch of Delphi developers (don’t worry, we are mostly harmless), head over to their site and give them your ideas.
The ADUG Committee have started organising next year’s Symposium, and have created a short survey for feedback on topics that you might want to see. So, if you’re a Delphi or C++Builder developer and there’s a reasonable chance you’ll be in Australia around March or April of next year, then make yourself heard by filling out the survey.
Over the coming weeks I’m presenting at a few of the ADUG (Australian Delphi User Group) meetings on Software Archeology in Delphi and also doing a bit of a Delphi 2009 Preview. I’ll be at ADUG Melbourne on the evening of Monday August 18th, ADUG Sydney on the evening of Wednesday August 20th and ADUG Canberra on the evening of Monday September 1st.
I’ll be showing off some of the new features of ECO III at tonight’s ADUG (Australian Delphi User Group) Sydney meeting.
It’s essentially a repeat of my Borcon US session. Borland will be providing the pizza and drinks, so come along if you can.
