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.

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
