Monday 18th June at 6 for 6:15pm start.

Continuing on with our Multi Threading theme from last month we have Jarrod Hollingworth presenting a master class in advanced threading:

Topics will include:
– Demonstrate the new Delphi parallel library (parallel for loop, tasks run in thread pool, joins and futures)

Brisbane Meeting – June 2018

Posted on by Eivind Bakkestuen

Wednesday June 6th at 6pm to Late.

Note! There will be an ADUG Brisbane meeting Wednesday June 6th as
scheduled. However, it will *not* take place at the usual venue.

Because it coincides with the first State of Origin game, the meeting will
be held at my place (southside, Forest Lake area). High quality projection,
beer fridges (yes, plural) and pizza will be available.

Meeting start from 6pm, arrival any time before 8pm kick-off accepted.

There will be light Delphi related entertainment prior to 8pm to satisfy
ADUG meeting requirements. After 8pm, there will be cheering.

Please RSVP to me by latest Monday, to plan for the event and receive
location info.

Go the Maroons!!! 🙂

Melbourne Meeting – May 2018

Posted on by John McDonald

Monday 21st May.

John McDonald and Brian Watson gave a presentation on MultiThreading in Delphi.

John discussed the use of TThread for multithreading and the issues that have to be handled in multi-threaded applications. He showed a small program that illustrated the use of TThread.Queue and anonymous methods to communicate back to the main thread. He then showed code that uses a TThread to run a simulation and update a TBitMap.Canvas to give a continuous animation of the simulation. This code used CriticalSections to synchronise access to shared state.

Brian will showed a current project that uses OmniThread Library (Developed by Primož Gabrijelčič) to create a REST Client connecting to a cloud database that is running inside a Windows CAD application.

Melbourne Meeting – April 2018

Posted on by John McDonald

Monday 16th April.

Robert Horbury-Smith introduced us to the Mormot (usually written as mORMot to emphasize the Object Relational Model aspect of the product).

… we saw how a fairly simple ORM based server using a database can be used to host “client” interfaces over REST and HTTP for both browser based (a la JavaScript) and VCL Front Ends from an n-Tier “Server” application using JSON …

… mORMot is a highly scalable, light footprint solution that deserves much more attention than it gets. With the continued drift away from desktop centric applications, this library is worth a good look … Read more ›
