How RegEx Scripting can Ease Software Upgrade Pain
The simple idea of "search and replace" is powerful enough to take the pain out of software upgrades, when it is combined with the idea of "scripting" the steps and repeating the steps on multiple directory trees. When component vendors publish upgrade scripts for their code, developers upgrade projects very quickly, leaving vendors free to make important paradigm shifts. Learn exactly how in this session.

A Pragmatic & Powerful Code Generator with Generics and Anonymous Methods
Sometimes it pays off to generate some of your source code. If you, for instance, can split your behavior in generated base classes and specific descending classes, this can speed up development enormously. You do not need a full-fledged code generator for this. By keeping it pragmatic and reusing parts of the Delphi RTL itself, you can get results quickly.

Database Change Management for Application Developers
A database is a shared central resource. Unlike Java, Delphi or .NET projects where code is copied to the developer's workstation for editing, database schema objects are created and altered in a development environment then promoted to a UAT (User Acceptance Testing) environment and then ultimately placed in a production environment. DB Change Manager is the tool that assists in the process of promoting code across the various development and testing environments that an enterprise may require. DB Change Manager also integrates with version control tools like Subversion (which we'll see in this presentation), Team Foundation Server, CVS and others. In this presentation we'll discuss the common work flow that Embarcadero has observed from its user base. We will also explore how users can add Alter, Create and Drop scripts generated by DB Change Manager to the version control tool of their choice.
