12:00 CST (18:00 GMT) Unlock Your Delphi’s Multi-Core Potential: From TThread’s Complexity to PPL’s Mastery with Cesar Romero
Suffering from frozen UIs when your Delphi application performs long-running tasks? Join this session for a journey from the complexity of the classic TThread to the mastery of the modern Parallel Programming Library (PPL). Through a practical, side-by-side code comparison, you will learn how the PPL simplifies asynchronous tasks, allowing you to safely and productively harness the full power of multi-core processors. Leave ready to make your applications faster and more responsive than ever before.
13:00 CST (19:00 GMT) MakerAI: The Ultimate AI Ecosystem for Delphi with Gustavo Enríquez
A complete native framework for RAG 2.0, autonomous agents, and intelligent workflows.
14:00 CST (20:00 GMT) Red, Green, Refactor* MiniSpec Will Leave You With No Excuses, with Jorge Cangas
We will review the Red-Green-Refactor cycle using MiniSpec, a testing framework for Delphi that follows the BDD approach. MiniSpec focuses on defining requirements through executable specifications, clearly separating what the system must do (the specification) from how we verify that it does it (the validation). This approach guarantees developing exactly the necessary code: no code without a specification, and no specification without code.
15:00 CST (21:00 GMT) Free Code Agent at Work: Build Faster, Right in Your RAD Studio IDE with Dion Mai
Let’s use Free Code Agents in action alongside the RAD Studio IDE.

Leave Now() in the dust and gain the power to manage, manipulate, and model time with absolute precision.
12:00 CST (18:00 GMT) Plurals, Genders and Numbers with Jaakko Salmenius
This session will introduce an open source Delphi library that elegantly implements plural and gender enabled Format function. The library uses the standard Delphi resource string to store multiple patterns and introduces a special version of Format function that depending on the plural/gender rules of the active language uses the right pattern of the string. In addition of plurals and genders we will study how to show abbreviated numbers such as 1kB, 10M, 100G, etc in a locale independent way. Not all languages use the same abbreviation rules as English. In fact, almost all language has its own variant. For example, in Japanese the grouping does not go by thousands but in ten thousand. The session will introduce an open source library to generate abbreviated numbers at any language. By following the guidelines shown on this session you start writing international code making your application available for everybody in the world.
13:00 CST (19:00 GMT) From Heavy Syncs to Whisper Updates, Even Over REST! with Stephen Ball

Using ChangeViews you can dramatically reduce latency, and improve scalability, providing cheaper infrastructure costs and faster apps in one action! In this session we will explore ChangeViews and also show how using RAD Server you can even use them safely over REST/JSON API’s.

How to avoid some common problems when writing multi-threaded code in Delphi applications.
15:00 CST (21:00 GMT) Using Modern AI tooling to Create a Working Delphi Multi-Device Application with David Intersimone
Wherever developers look they can read about modern AI’s impact on software development. How much time should a developer spend trying to separate the ground breaking potential, confusing hype and rapid advances in the usefulness and quality of development tools? The only way I know, for myself, is to keep up to date and try to build applications from scratch using as many tools, APIs, libraries, components and 50+ years of experience with computer science and software engineering. In this talk, I will use one (or more) of the (currently) top modern AI coding solutions to build a working Delphi multi-device application using RAD Studio 13. Join me for my development (Mister Toad’s) wild ride and travel down the (Alice’s) rabbit hole.

In this session, I will demonstrate how FMX Styles can be leveraged to create a branded interface including logos, backgrounds, buttons, and labels. I will also present a technique for storing a color palette in an FMX Style and show how to utilize it in code. And let’s not forget Skia–I’ll even show a way of defining a branded Lottie animation inside an FMX Style to be displayed in the kiosk interface.

10:00 CST (16:00 GMT) Keep Data Secure While Delivering Self-Service Analytics with Stephen Ball
How much time is wasted every month exporting data, building slide decks, and emailing reports around — only for them to be instantly outdated or land in the wrong inbox? In this session, we’ll show you how to eliminate manual reporting forever by embedding automated, self-service analytics directly into your VCL and FMX applications using a secure REST API integration.
Instead of generating reports by hand, your users can explore live dashboards, schedule automated distributions, and even generate presentation-ready content — all without data ever leaving your application boundary. And to get hands-on straight away, you’ll receive access to the Yellowfin Developer Sandbox, so you can start prototyping immediately.
Secure your data. Automate your reporting. Empower your users — without losing control.
11:00 CST (17:00 GMT) Linear Algebra, Matrices, Vectors and Homogeneous Coordinates for 2D graphics with Dr. Kevin Bond
Introduction to linear transformations in the context of rotation, scaling and translation in two-dimensional graphics (Linear transformations (functions that preserve addition and scalar multiplication) enable complex systems to be modelled using matrices and vectors, allowing a huge variety of mathematical, physical, and engineering problems to be written in a compact, uniform way. Linear transformations are everywhere: they’re the mathematical core of rotations, scaling, projections, reflections—all the fundamental movements and changes you can make to shapes and spaces.
Many problems – like solving systems of equations, data fitting, image compression, or simulations – are all about finding or applying the right linear transformation. In machine learning/AI, neural networks are built out of layers that are essentially linear.
Transformations (plus a little nonlinearity!). Linear transformations help define eigenvalues and eigenvectors, which are fundamental in stability analysis, vibration modes, quantum mechanics, and more – ChatGPT)

An overview of application security vulnerabilities within the context of Delphi application development, particularly focusing on the Win32 API and network communications. The presentation will begin by demonstrating the inadequacy of GUI-level security in Windows applications, where external tools can easily manipulate controls without elevated privileges. A significant portion of the discussion will address the risks of storing sensitive data like passwords and connection strings in plain text within the executable, recommending techniques such as prompting users and using memory management tools like FastMM to prevent data from lingering in memory dumps. Furthermore, the talk covers methods for hardening DataSnap security by increasing RSA key lengths and implementing dynamic PC1 keys for enhanced session encryption. Finally, I will details various forms of injection vulnerabilities, including classic SQL injection and second-order injection, emphasizing the critical need to sanitize all input from both users and external data sources to maintain application integrity. Content should be about 1 hour to an hour and 15 minutes.
