Delphi can be a great tool for creating efficient data-driven REST servers. This presentation introduces the core ideas upon which a Delphi REST framework could be built. With a proper URL parser, some classes to produce XML from database queries, a business rules layer, an optional XSLT layer, a simple AJAX front end, you can setup a great and modern Delphi architecture for web development.

Need Touch Support - There's an app for that!

Ray Konopka Raize Software

An application development tool that is Delphi 2010. One of the most compelling features of Apple's iPhone is its support for touch and gestures. Of course, larger scale multi-touch devices are equally impressive, such as Microsoft Surface. In fact, more devices supporting multi-touch are showing up all the time, and Microsoft has even added support for multi-touch devices directly into Windows 7. And now with Delphi 2010, you can add support for touch and gestures into your own applications, even if you do not have Windows 7. This session will show you how.
