1000 New Features of JBuilder 2005
Brian Long — Falafel Software, Inc.    Type: Preconference Tutorial. Level: All. This tutorial is an informative overview of Delphi features in both Microsoft Win32 and the Microsoft .NET Framework. It represents the culmination of 9 years of using, troubleshooting and problem-solving with Delphi. Think of this tutorial as a brain dump of many, many tips, tricks, and techniques in various areas of Delphi that many developers are unaware of. Areas covered include the IDE, the RTL, the VCL for Win32 and .NET and debugging. Within each area we look at less obvious aspects that are often overlooked, sometimes because of a lack of documentation, a lack of experience, or a lack of familiarity. Bring plenty of note paper; we will cover a lot of ground in this tutorial. Prerequisites: Some experience programming with Delphi. 1002 Sunday, September 12, 2004 — 8:00am - 12:00pm Room: C1/C4 1004 Applying the Unified Process Charles Suscheck — Colorado State University        Type: Preconference Tutorial. Level: All. This tutorial is a concentrated workshop aimed at teaching, through in-class examples and hands-on application, how to develop a system using the Unified Process (UP) -- the public domain basis of the Rational Unified Process (RUP). The emphasis is on creating good use cases, developing domain models, mapping domain models to design diagrams and determining which UP documents are effective in various scenarios. The tutorial applies Borland tools: CaliberRM is used to capture requirements and use cases, and Together is used to create use case models, domain models, and design diagrams.The relationship between process and StarTeam is also discussed. Prerequisites: Familiarity with object-oriented programming, analysis, and design. 1004 canceled  1006 Using the Microsoft Solutions Framework with Borland Tools Randy Miller — Microsoft Type: Preconference Tutorial. Level: All. The Microsoft Solutions Framework (MSF) is a risk-driven, milestone-based, iterative process framework that can be customized for use on projects of any size. Guiding MSF is a series of principles, models, disciplines, key concepts, proven practices, and recommendations. These elements create a framework, under which, existing agile processes can be scaled to the enterprise level or used on the smallest of projects. In other words, MSF advances a complimentary approach that can easily incorporate the practices of agile methods where appropriate but provides additional disciplines such as project, risk, and readiness management. This tutorial looks at how to use MSF with the Borland toolset. Prerequisites: Beginning familiarity with change management, requirements management, and modeling. 1006 Saturday, September 11, 2004 — 9:00am - 1:00pm Room: J3 1100 PANEL: Delphi Diamondback Preview and Meet the Delphi Development Team  Michael Swindell — Borland Type: Panel Discussion.

Prerequisites: Database developers and end users. 1180 Tuesday, September 14, 2004 — 4:30pm - 5:45pm Room: J4 1182 Managed Code Database Advantage for the Microsoft .NET Framework Platform Steve Shaughnessy — Borland Type: Regular Session. Level: All. The Borland DataStore for the Microsoft .NET Framework database is written entirely in managed code. DataStore for .NET is highly scalable and capable of outperforming many database products not written in managed code. DataStore for .NET provides database mirroring capabilities that provide first class database fault tolerance and increased scalability. Because DataStore for .NET is written entirely in managed code, applications that are also written in managed code languages such as Delphi, C#, VB.NET, and others can safely execute in the same process as the kernel itself. Native (unmanaged) code cannot be trusted to execute in the same process as a database kernel. Much higher performance and reliability can be achieved for managed code applications that embed DataStore for .NET into the same process. DataStore for .NET also provides the same performance and reliability benefits for stored procedures and UDFs written in a popular managed code languages instead of a proprietary SQL-based stored procedure language. Prerequisites: Basic knowledge of Delphi or C# programming and ADO.NET. 1182 Monday, September 13, 2004 — 2:00pm - 3:15pm Room: J4 1184 Using the Microsoft Solutions Framework with Borland Tools Randy Miller — Microsoft Type: Regular Session.
