Li Wei: Report from Borcon 2003
At November 2nd, from Taiwan. After nearly 14 hours, I finally arrived in Borland Conference this year, San Jose Mcenery Convention Center.
After the plane, I immediately rushed to the Borcon welcome party held by Borland Ceo Dale Fuller and Borcon and the new CTO Blake Stone, and Borland's new CTO Blake Stone. In this year, more than 2,000 people participated in Borcon, so when the author entered the venue of the welcome party, there was no seat, so I had to stand in the last face.
In this welcome party, Borland smartly combined with Matrix Reloaded films, and expressed Borland's products and technologies in these films, as well as creative techniques. After Dale and other speeches, I started to entertain everyone to eat, and arranged a big playground, there were many Casino games, electric toys let everyone play, and let all participate in people can relax before Borcom tomorrow. Let's prepare to meet the next 3 days of the speech.
In the morning of November 3, the Borcon Breakfast was very hacked and the author of Delphi In a nutshell, the author ray Lischner in the breakfast. The author first congratulations on Ray to write a lot of good books, becoming a reference book for many Delphi / C programmers, and the author also told Ray his delphi in a nutshell. Hidden path of delphi 3 in Ray. Ray was surprised to say that Hidden Path of Delphi 3 didn't know in Hidden Path of Delphi 3, and I hope that the author can send him a book, and finally Ray is also happy and the author photographs.

In this keynote speech, Microsoft also shows the example of Longhorn, although the current Longhorn is just the alpha phase, but its effects and innovation ideas are really exclaimed, and the Longhorn is indeed possible to change the PC computing environment. Important operating system.
Microsoft's views on the client and is committed to developing the next generation of Smart Clients
Of course, in addition to Microsoft's Longhorn, the Java Desktop System, which is the KEYNOTE SPEECH displayed on the 2nd day, also shocked, who said that the idea of PC software has disappeared? From these two operating system, I can foresee the future 2, 3 years will be very lively and interesting.
My choice: November 3
This year, Borcon has added many Tracks about Process in addition to tools and technology sessions. Since many Tracks are on the same time, I choose to listen to that track is now today's headache. After several thought, I finally decided that the 3rd itinerary is as follows:
morning
in the afternoon
Writing High Performance CLR Code
What's new in the delphi compiler: win32 and .net
Raising The Level: Model-Driven Architecture In Action
Design Strategies for J2EE
The Writing High Performance CLR CLR CODE is very good, and is a member of Microsoft's .NET Framework, its content is to discuss how to write high efficiency CLR program code, how to work correctly with JIT to produce excellent IL, I discussed some new .NET Framework, the author learned a lot of useful knowledge, harvesting a lot.
By the afternoon of the 3rd, because the author has not slept more than 30 hours, plus the reason for the time difference, there is no way to hear, so I have to take a break back to the hotel to take a break, ready to participate in the evening 8 to 10 points TRACK of Meet the delphi team.
Delphi: meet the team
When I participated in the TRACK of Meet The delphi Team on the same day, it was of course the people of the people. Since this is a direct and Delphi R & D group, it has been introduced by the Delphi R & D team one by one, and many people can't have problems with the Delphi R & D team. Many issues are concentrated in Delphi and Delphi.net, as well as the future of Delphi. For example, many people ask the future of win32, the Delphi R & D team answers still have a plan to update Delphi for Win32, and the Delphi for Win32 compiler will have a large increase, from various signs that borland is a plan to launch new Delphi for Win32 version.
Some issues are .NET, participation in person to ask the Delphi R & D team for the development of .NET, and the Delphi R & D team guarantees that they will shape C # Builder and Delphi.net with the most active pace. Net under the most Good development tools, C # Builder and Delphi.Net shared IDE: Galileo will continue.
Of course, some of these questions are also controversial, such as some participants are also complaining that Delphi 7 does not have patches, dbexpress's Patch is too small, too slow. But Borland's official answer is of course, they will listen to the voice of the customer and promise to pay attention to these issues.
After the end of Meet the delphi Team, the Danny is still surrounding many people, constantly inquiring the problem, and is delayed. Of course, each Delphi R & D member is surrounded by people, asking questions. But the most popular award is definitely to be given to Danny.
At this time, the author, of course, immediately eliminating the Idol's idol Danny Thorpe. Originally, I still want to talk to Danny.
Danny is really a gentleman who is free to paste. However, the author compared with the four years ago, Danny is obviously old, it seems that Danny's work is very busy, heavy, so unconsciously let many white hair appear on the head of Danny .
After participating in the last Track, the author also supported it again. After returning to HOTEL, he lost the perception.
to be continued!
