Delphi 2005 Tour Wrap-Up

We had a pretty good turn out. There were 22 people who confirmed via RSVP, plus some people showed up who didn't RSVP. In the end we only had about 20 people there. There were some people from NETDUG as well as from BSDG, plus a few new faces and once we hadn't seen in a long time.

Since we didn't want to run out of pizza we ended up with plenty of pizza for everyone. I hope everyone got full.

Ander's presentation consisted of a PowerPoint which covered the main points, then he would jump into Delphi 2005 for actual demonstrations. Lots of neat features! It was obvious that most everyone in the room was impressed with what they saw. After each feature was introduced everyone would lean to the person next to them and excitedly talk about it.

Ander's ended up giving away two copies of Delphi 2005. One Professional and one Architect. The Professional edition went to Anthony Fuller - I think this was his first time attending. Maybe he will come back after a door prize like that. The Architect edition went to Kelly Simper from the .NET group. Congratulations guys! I herd a few people offer them cash for their prizes. I picked up a couple extra T-shirts and 25%-off coupons. The coupons are good through the END OF THE MONTH, so get with me before then to get one. I will be out of town tomorrow evening through the end of the week.

If you couldn't make it, or want more information on the features, then you can check the following sources online:

And since I know both Kelly and Anthony are fairly new to Delphi programming, or for anyone else who has Delphi 2005 (or downloaded the free trial), here are some links for learning Delphi.

That should be enough to get you over the initial learning curve.
