FireMonkey in Action Live!

Embarcadero runs a half day workshop on FireMonkey in
Sydney, Melbourne & Brisbane. Damien Bootsma from Embarcadero and
Lachlan Gemmell from the Australian Delphi User Group (ADUG) will take
you into a number of technical sessions where you will learn how to
create visually stunning, database connected business applications
using FireMonkey. We are talking to Embarcadero right now to bring this
event to other Australian cities as we have done before with the
RAD Studio XE2 World Tour. Obviously this task is easier if the number
of people, who attended the events in Sydney, Melbourne & Brisbane,
are high. So join Embarcadero & ADUG for this half day event. For

The RAD Studio XE2 World Tour has been a RESOUNDING SUCCESS
The attendance to the latest Embarcadero release was remarkable. We
had an unprecedented number of people at our venues. Embarcadero's
development efforts have been recognised and appreciated by developers.
"Hello World" Delphi is back!.
The
response to the World Tour and the response within the audience to the
presentation has been one of intense interest and the future of
developers looks blindingly bright! This is of course also great news
for Embarcadero. Developer enthusiasm is at an all time high and is
continually gaining momentum.
The features shown by
Damian and Malcolm were now in plentiful supply and more to come in the
next twelve months. I think most, if not all, of the attending
developers at the end of this World Tour were already ebthusiastically
looking forward to the next Tour.
If you did not attend this World Tour, keep watch for the next one about twelve months from now. You will not want to miss it.
A special thank you to Steve Arena for his continued support of ADUG and his prize sponsorship.
Don't
forget, our 2012 autumn symposium. I am sure there will be new and
exciting things forthcoming from this release of RAD Studio XE2 and
what it contains. We'll keep you updated in due course.
With
such unbounded enthusiasm amongst developers and in particular our ADUG
members it is anticipated that next years symposium will be well
attended, so when the symposium details are released, keep this in mind
and book early.
The RAD Studio XE2 World Tour is coming to ADUG
in Perth, Adelaide, Brisbane and Canberra!

The speakers from Embarcadero will be:

UPDATE - ADUG Symposium Autumn 2011
The Autumn 2011 ADUG Symposium has been a great success. Thank you to all our sponsors, prize donors, the committee and of course you, the members that came to the symposium. You all helped make it the successful event it was.
The donated and fantastic prizes from some of the top developers
were well received. Everyone won something, some were fortunate enough
to win more than one prize.
We had 93 prizes on the
donated prize list valued at $42,591. This shows the wonderful support
given to ADUG and its members by those that develop useful software,
developer tools and components. There were a few late prizes offered by
our long time supporter, Steve Arena. This pushed the prize count and
value even higher.
We in the ADUG committe already
have our eye on the 2012 symposium and hope to bring you even more
incredible speakers and exceptional prizes. Earmark your calendars
already for a late March or late April event. We'll get back to you
with firm dates when we confirm our plans and international speaker(s).
Not
only did ADUG present two highly regarded international speakers in
David I. and Primoz Gabrijelcic, our own "local heros" Thorsten Engler
and Lachlan Gemmel took to the stage and took some of the limelight.
Well done to all the presenters.
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.
