Oregon Delphi User Group

We’re meeting in person this month–and at a new location! No specific topic planned but we will, as usual, catch up with what we’re doing with Delphi and technology in general, share pizza and laughs, and evaluate the new location.

The latest version of our favorite development tool, Delphi 11.1 Alexandria has been announced! What are you looking forward to in this upgrade? We’ll chat about technology, avoid depressing world events topics, and think about where we want to meet next month.

February 14 marked the 27th anniversary of the release of Delphi. The meeting this month will focus on the history of Delphi, both reviewing products released over the years and how Delphi has impacted your life, career, or business. Please join us online and share your experience.

Our main topic for the first meeting of 2022 will be shared by Homer Jones: If you’ve ever right clicked a file in Windows Explorer and selected Properties, you may have noticed the Detail tab. Those details list the file’s metadata. Depending on the type of file, that metadata can have interesting information about the data in the file (the definition of metadata). Homer will show how to extract that metadata without displaying the actual contents of the file.

We’ll meet in December at the same time and at the same place, but we’ll discuss moving our meeting location elsewhere because the live music that starts in the main room at 7:00 makes it difficult to hear each other. Join us for the last ODUG meeting of the year!

With the release of the book, Fearless Cross-Platform Development for Delphi occurring in late October, the author will be at the meeting in November to talk about the writing process, example projects, and what he learned. Join David Cornelius and one of his technical reviewers, Jonathan Eaton, as they discuss the book and celebrate it’s release. PRESENTER David Cornelius is a full-time Delphi developer and has been programming since the 1980s.

General technical chat among friends.

This month’s meeting has been canceled.

The next major version of RAD Studio was released last week. We’ll take a look at Delphi 11 Alexandria and discuss what it means for you. PRESENTER David Cornelius is a full-time Delphi developer and has been programming since the 1980s.

A couple of things will likely be discussed at our meeting: Delphi’s new Community Edition based on Delphi 10.4.2 A quick look at Radiant Shapes and a discussion about other shape libraries. LOCATION We’re meeting in person at the old familiar place!
