News ..
Well, the 2010 Autumn Symposium is over. For those unable to make it this year, you missed an excellent and history making symposium.
History making? you wonder. Yes, the 2010 symposium was the first time Embarcadero (and ADUG) presented a webinar in front of and combined with a live audience. It was actually Cary Jensen's first trip to the southern hemishpere - another history making first. Cary expressed his delight at being asked to make a presentation for ADUG and discovered that our members had a knack for asking the extraordinary question. More than once, Cary had to give substantial thought and consideration prior to answering the posed question.
To allow the maximum (webinar audience) participation ADUG combined with Embarcadero "broadcast" Cary Jensen's afternoon session from Melbourne and Cary's Canberra morning session.
The whole symposium was well received by attendees. Cary managed to cover an exceptional amount of UNICODE information in the alloted time and his Client DataSet presentation was enlightening even to those familiar with Client DataSets.
The inimitable Malcom Groves was as always, entertaining and informative. There was visual proof of Delphi applications running on the MAC, though at this time Malcolm was restricted in just what he could show.
Jason Tolley showed us the Embedded Windows approch to Delphi with his take on Delphi Appliances. This was a brief review of last years presentation with an update on the availablity of Embedded Windows 7. The creation of the embedded environment has been improved and enhanced with the Wizard creation tool.
The prizes donated by the Symposium sponsors and many others were significant both in quantity and value. Everybody won a prize. The appreciation and gratitude of ADUG is again expressed here, thank you to all sponsors and donators.
The 2010 Symposium was once again a resounding success and a credit to the hardwork put in by the organisers and committee members.
The 2011 symposium development is already underway, beginning with the selection of our international guest speaker. An announcement may be made soon, as discussions are already underway with a potential guest speaker.
Embarcadero made arrangements to record the Canberra webinar (Unicode). We hope to be able to advise soon, the url for the Unicode webinar download.
The Autumn Symposium is on again
Yes the Australian Delphi User Group is presenting the 2010 Symposium with local presenters and a special overseas guest presenter Cary Jensen.

Recent Events..
Autumn Symposia 2009
This has been another successful program. Responses from both venues were positive and we would like to thank all those who helped to make the days so interesting.
Firstly we would like to thank our speakers.
David I, well known to Delphi programmers for many years, made the trip from the USA to outline the future directions for Delphi and other related tools. It is reassuring to see real investment being made in developing the Embarcadero product line of which Delphi is an important (at least for us) part.
Glenn Stephens explained what Cloud Programming is, and showed how it can be implemented.
Ann Lynnworth braved the Coffs Harbour floods to demonstrate ZaphodsMap, a free tool available to use instead of ini files. Ann also talked about the approach her company has taken to web design and separating page design issues from business logic.
Jason Tolley showed us techniques for creating embedded systems. These techniques open embedded technologies to a wide range of applications previously thought unsuitable.
Glenn Crouch gave us a demonstration of upgrading a project to Delphi Prism.
Thanks also to all those who donated products for the prize draw.
We would also like to thank our sponsors
Thanks for the work done by the committee, and in particular members from Sydney and Melbourne involved with running the day.
And last but not least, to all those who attended and made the days the successes that they were, THANK YOU.
