Migrating your C++Builder Projects to Unicode
Al Mannarino - Embarcadero Technologies
December 9, 2015

This video focuses on helping you migrate your legacy C++ Builder Apps to Unicode.

We at Embarcadero are often asked to help migrate legacy C++ Builder code to the current C++ Builder versions, including the current C++ Builder 10 Seattle. So, over time, we have learned tips and techniques to help with your Unicode migration. Once you get a handle on these tips and techniques, developers have reported it didn't take long to convert their applications and the applications migrate fairly smoothly.

A major benefit for migrating to Unicode is to get the full benefits of internationalization, plus you’ll gain all the significant features and enhancements in the newer versions of C++ Builder, like Windows 10 support and being able to create desktop application controls in the style of Windows 10, create FireMonkey Multi-Device apps to deploy to Windows, MacOS X, Android and iOS, C++ 11 and the Clang-based C++ compilers, just to name a few.

Windows 10, Mac, Mobile, IoT and more using Standard C++. Quickly and easily update VCL and FMX applications to Windows 10 with the new Windows 10 VCL Controls, Styles, and Universal Windows Platform services components.

Enjoy an enhanced development experience with double the available memory for large projects, extended multi-monitor support, and enhanced Object Inspector. C++Builder enables developers to deliver applications up to 5x faster across multiple desktop, mobile, cloud, and database platforms including 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 10.

During the recent CodeRage X online technical conference, I showed some C++11 demo applications in the C++ track that use the System.Threading unit and the Parallel Programming Library. Leveraging the libraries and techniques will help you create responsive user experiences for your desktop and mobile applications.

Enterprise Mobility Services: Working with SQL Databases using C++
Marco Cantu - Embarcadero
CodeRage 9 - C++ Track
Wednesday, October 29, 2014 - 7am Pacific Time

Accessing Enterprise Databases from the the EMS server and making the data easily available on mobile (and desktop) apps is one of the core tenets of EMS, and the combined use of FireDAC and special purpose data conduit components makes this task relatively easy.

The Connected C++ App Platform for Windows and Beyond
http://www.embarcadero.com/products/cbuilder

Enterprise Mobility Services is a turnkey solution for today’s interconnected, distributed apps, offering an easy to deploy middleware server that hosts loadable custom API and data access modules.

Simply create an EMS package using either Object Pascal or C++, register a specific resource (with a matching URI location), and write code to handle the corresponding requests.
It’s based on open and standard technologies, including REST HTTP calls and JSON data formats, and provides major SQL database drivers along with an encrypted embedded and server SQL database. EMS is a middleware solution that is stateless, restful, scalable, and secure.
With EMS you can use the included InterBase database or select any other supported Enterprise SQL database.

Easily manage custom APIs exposed through standard REST JSON interfaces.
Accessing those APIs is incredibly easy with wizards, ready-to-use components and the new management console, making the development process extremely smooth and well integrated.

EMS automatically provides real-time analytics to track your users’ activity and the REST APIs they are calling. The new Push Notifications server support for iOS and Android allows developers to deliver event driven notifications to the end user's device through EMS.

XE8 also includes support for native HTTP and HTTPS client libraries on Windows, Mac, iOS and Android.

Navigate the users and group lists to view the online daily activity and history. View overall REST API usage at the yearly, monthly, and daily level, and drill down on individual REST resources, including individual REST API calls.

RAD in Action: Build Modern Apps with Enterprise Mobility Services
with Pawel Glowacki, Embarcadero

Duration: 1 hour and 29 minutes and 19 seconds
Live Q&A starts at 50 minutes and 0 seconds

In this demo-oriented webinar Paweł Głowacki, Embarcadero EMEA Tech Lead for Developer Tools, demonstrates how to build modern apps with enterprise database access using Embarcadero Enterprise Mobility Services.

Embarcadero Enterprise Mobility Services make it easy to build secure and scalable systems with reusable visual components using C++ or Object Pascal languages.

The webinar demonstrates best practices for building multi-tier apps including:

Enterprise Mobility Services Architecture Overview
Deploying Enterprise Mobility Services
HTTPS communication for improved security
Role-based authentication and authorization for accessing server-side functionality
FireDAC database access framework
InterBase database for high-performance, zero-administration data storage
FireDAC-JSON Reflection framework for flexible and simple application logic
Mobile and desktop client app development with Visual LiveBindings
Persisting data on the client
...and more!
