First look at FireDAC – Mathias Burbach
Recently Embarcadero released the component-suite FireDAC, which allows the developer to talk to different databases via the same components& methods. Pretty much like dbExpress. The presentation will explain the basic usage of FireDAC. We will also look at the advantages of FireDAC and when one would still prefer to stick to dbExpress.
Synopsis for RPC – Paul Jervois
A short discussion on the JSON RPC 2.0 specification, which allows remote procedure calls (RPC) using the JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) syntax.
Two examples will be demonstrated, one using a JSON RPC client to control an XBMC media server and the other using both a JSON RPC client and server to access our own custom procedures.
