David Intersimone (David I) invites you to a special Code Camp in Auckland. David I is stopping off before his guest speaker spot at the Australian Delphi User Group Symposium. He comes to town with a wide selection of topics including Delphi Productivity, Applications of Unicode in real life, and news of the real impact the Embarcadero database tools are having with customers worldwide.
The event is a full three hours and David will cover these subject areas:
- Delphi 2009 and Unicode – in most cases, reservations about the amount of work and difficulty in moving to Unicode are unfounded. David can talk the wheres and whyfores, when you do it and when it can trip you up.
- Delphi productivity: Live Templates, Refactoring, Generics, Customisable toolbars, Customisable Desktops, The Visual Component Library, Tips and Tricks and more...
- What’s Cooking in the Labs – David will give you a sneak peak at What’s Cooking in the Labs and some of the new initiatives coming our way...
Peter Joint will also be on hand to share information on how local customers are using the database tools and just how useful Embarcadero Database tools (such as ER/Studio and Change Manager) are for developers, including the new All-Access licensing model that delivers real tools to developers for a fraction of the cost.

Our annual Symposium is on this April and this time we are in Melbourne (Thu 10 Apr) and Canberra (Fri 11 Apr).
ADUG = Australian Delphi User Group
http://www.adug.org.au/meetings/Symposia/2008/default.html
We have Ray Konopka from Raize, who is a marvellous international speaker, and he will be giving us two talks. Malcolm Groves from our local CodeGear is also giving a talk - not that this will be a "CodeGear talk", but Malcolm is a great speaker and a former ADUG Committee member, so it's great to have him involved again. But wait!!! There's more! Our very own Peter Hinrichsen who is another fine presenter, will also supply us with a talk. Check out more details about what awaits you at the above URL.
As always, there will be a fine collection of Prizes for the Prize draw that follows.
Now, why wait, get you registration done now since Prices are currently discounted and will go up closer to the event - and you help us plan things better if we know what the numbers are earlier
