DevTracks in Offenbach, Germany

Last Thursday, I visited a CodeGear event in Offenbach, Germany. Offenbach is close to Frankfurt, a city a lot of people traveling by plane should know.

The event was just awesome! Not only did I get a first-hand preview of Delphi 2009 and some excellent information on other Embarcadero products, but I was able to catch up with fellow CodeGear contractors and community members in person. Networking is just something one should never underestimate. Furthermore, it is just more fun to talk than to use text-messaging services like Skype, for example.

The product demonstrations for Delphi were done by Daniel Magin and Matthias Eissing. In case you have never experienced one of their sessions, make sure to visit one of the next DevTracks or other event they speak at.

Dr. Sultan Shiffa introduced ER/Studio from Embarcadero. An immensely powerful database tool no database architect should miss, in my opinion.

And of course, Sabine Rothe from CodeGear provided food and drinks for coffee breaks and an excellent lunch!

It really was an event to remember which I shared with about 200 other members of the Delphi community.

And the best thing… the fee to attend this awesome event was 0 EUR, i.e. 0 $. Yes, really!
