Today is the final day of the CodeRage 5 online developer conference. Here's the agenda for today.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 8, 2010

Technical Session #53 5:00am - 5:45am PDT	VENDOR SHOWCASE: UI Design with Raize Components   Raize Components is a user interface design system for Delphi and C++Builder. At its center is a collection of more than 125 general-purpose native VCL controls. Built on a foundation of technology first created more than 15 years ago, these high-quality components give developers unsurpassed power and flexibility without sacrificing ease-of-use. This session demonstrates how developers use Raize Components to build sophisticated user interfaces in less time with less effort. Ray Konopka - Raize Software
5:45am - 6:00am BREAK
Technical Session #54 6:00am - 6:45am PDT	Delphi SOAP Web Services and Security   See a demonstration of the use of SOAP Headers and https/SSL to secure real-world SOAP Web Services using Delphi XE on Win32 as well as Delphi Prism XE on .NET. Bob Swart - Bob Swart Training & Consultancy
6:45am - 7:00am BREAK
Technical Session #55 7:00am - 7:45am PDT	Migrating DCOM DataSnap Applications to dbExpress DataSnap   Learn some of the challenges and solutions of migrating mature DCOM DataSnap servers to the new dbExpress DataSnap architecture. Jon Robertson - jmrSoftware
7:45am - 8:00am BREAK
Technical Session #56 8:00am - 8:45am PDT	Diagnosing Memory Problems: Is That a Leak or What? Sergei Sokolov - SmartBear Software
8:45am - 9:00am BREAK
Technical Session #57 9:00am - 9:45am PDT	Deep Dive into dbExpress   This session takes a deep dive into the dbExpress architecture and implementation with real-world examples culled from DbxDataPump, a free utility that ships with Delphi. Topics include retrieving connection lists, tables, and other metadata information for your databases using the dbExpress metadata API, and utility functions for cross-database compatibility. John Kaster - Embarcadero
9:45am - 10:00am BREAK
Technical Session #5810:00am - 10:45am	VENDOR SHOWCASE: Add Internet Communications, Security, and E-Business Connectivity to Any Application, on Any Platform, Anywhere   Internet connectivity is no longer optional. As the world becomes more connected, so must your applications. Watch /n software showcase their comprehensive framework of development components and enterprise adapters for Internet communications, security, and e-business integration, and listen as they underscore key issues that developers face in the rapidly evolving technology landscape. Eric Madariaga - /n software
10:45am - 11:00am BREAK
Technical Session #5911:00am - 11:45am PDT	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. Brad Wulf - Embarcadero

CodeRage continues today with another set of great free sessions on Delphi Prism, Delphi, C++Builder and RAD Studio and several vendor showcases.
