David Intersimone (David I) invites you to a special Code Camp in Auckland. David I is stopping off before his guest speaker spot at the Australian Delphi User Group Symposium. He comes to town with a wide selection of topics including Delphi Productivity, Applications of Unicode in real life, and news of the real impact the Embarcadero database tools are having with customers worldwide.

The event is a full three hours and David will cover these subject areas:

• Delphi 2009 and Unicode ? in most cases, your reservations about the amount of work and difficulty in moving to Unicode are unfounded. David can talk the wheres and whyfores, when you do it and when it could trip you up.
• Delphi productivity: Live Templates, Refactoring, Generics, Customisable toolbars, Customisable Desktops, The Visual Component Library, Tips and Tricks and more...

Peter Joint will also be on hand to share information on how local customers are using the database tools and just how useful Embarcadero Database tools (such as ER/Studio and Change Manager) are for developers, including the new All-Access licensing model that delivers real tools to developers for a fraction of the cost.
