Migration from Client/Server to Multi-tier with DataSnap and C++Builder
DataSnap platform for multi-tier provides powerful capabilities for developers. Now it's easy to start a new multi-tier project with many variants of deployment. But sometimes the goal is to convert the existing Client/Server project into DataSnap version. Sometimes it needs the migration of the code style into pattern, typical for multi-tier programming. So we have a traditional project, implementing interaction with DBMS. How can we support migration? What should be easily change and what needs some refactoring? The presentation will consider the basic and reliable techniques, which will help you to upgrade the existing projects and get the advantages of new DataSnap multi-tier architecture.

FireMonkey with Style
Styles are the technical foundation of visual controls in FireMonkey. This session explains why and how, and also covers what's new in FM2 regarding styles.

Marco Cantu' - Embarcadero

Creating Custom FireMonkey Controls with C++Builder XE3
RAD Studio supports cross-platform user interface development with the FireMonkey framework. Like the VCL, FireMonkey is component-based, but unlike the VCL, FireMonkey is based around the concept of styles. As a result, creating custom FireMonkey controls is quite a bit different than create VCL controls. This session will provide you with what you need to get started building custom FireMonkey controls.

HTML5 Builder Multi-tier Application Development
This session shows how to create and use a DataSnap REST Client Module to access a C++ Builder DataSnap server and call the functions exposed by the C++ Builder DataSnap server. DataSnap is a technology that enables RAD creation of multi-tier web applications. We will use HTML5 Builder to create a client-side web applications that interacts with DataSnap. A DataSnap REST client module is a data module that lets you access a DataSnap server. You can then include that data module in another data module or a web page to be able to call the functions exposed by the DataSnap server.
