RemObjects Software at Microsoft PDC2008

Just like in 2005, RemObjects Software will be present at Microsoft PDC2008 with a booth in the Expo Hall, showing off our suite of products, most importantly Data Abstract for .NET.

We have some great demos prepared and exciting technologies to show, so make sure to stop by and talk to us at booth #910. If you're interested in Oxygene and Delphi Prism, the guys from CodeGear will be right next to us at booth #912 to show and give away preview disks with Delphi Prism, so make sure to not miss out on that, either.

From Monday to Wednesday, marc hoffman (Chief Architect), Carlo Kok (Chief Engineer and Compiler Architect for Oxygene) and Mike Orriss (General Project Manager) will be at our booth to meet with you and answer any questions about RemObjects and our products you might have. See you in L.A.!

Stay Up to Date

Over the course of PDC itself, we'll update this page with exciting news, stories and photos. Make also sure to follow marc's and Mike's twitter feeds (see below) for up-to-date info on what's going on. Or look out for special episodes of the Podcast at Delphi.org that Jim and marc will be recording live from L.A.

Day 0 — Setup

Our booth is set up and we're all ready to go for tomorrow. Below are a handful of first impressions:

Day 1 — Keynote and Expo

Half way thru day one; we've seen the Ray Ozzie introduce Windows Azure, which could be interesting for Data Abstract and RemObjects SDK. We're also past the first five hours of Expo, with lots of interest in our cool new Data Abstract demos. The guys from Emarcadero are next door, happy passing out Prism DVDs, which are well received by everyone. Expo Reception, usually the busiest time for the booths, coming up in about an hour, now. More soon.

Day 2

Instead of more photos, below is a look at some of the new demos we've prepared and are showing here at PDC, which are part of a larger and more unified set of new samples that will ship with one of the next versions of DA. First there is our sample server application, with a nice and rich WPF based GUI that shows exactly what is going on, how field mappings are applied, what SQL code is run,etc. Second, we have our DA SQL sample client, followed lastly by a WinForms based client that demonstrates some of the more advanced data access options:

Windows 7 — A first look

A couple of screenshots of Windows 7 Build 6801 as handed out as part of "the goods" on a 160GB USB harddrive, today. Unfortunately, it seems that most of the UI enhancements that were shown at the keynote today, such as the new Dock-like task bar, are not in this build yet; after install is complete, it very much looks and feels like Vista with a few very minor tweaks (such as a nicer Start Menu rendering and the strealined Notification area).
