EDUC 2020

The European DataFlex Users' Conference (EDUC) aims to help you get the most from your DataFlex development by communicating the newest DataFlex ideas, techniques and tools. EDUC 2020 was a virtual EDUC, all presentations and training sessions have been recorded. If you registered for a training you can view it below. All EDUC attendees can view the presentations and bonus videos.

The content related to EDUC 2020 is for a limited audience only. If you would like to watch it too, you can purchase access, please contact info@dataaccess.eu

Course instructor: Harm Wibier

The NextGen project will have advanced and many developers around the world have gotten a taste of what 64-bit and Unicode will offer to them. Harm will present what are new features in DataFlex 2020, besides Unicode and 64-bit.

Migrating to DataFlex 2020

Course instructor: Andre de Vries & John de Froe

The team kept the impact in mind for the developer, you, who has to migrate to V20 at some point. Compatibility and easy migration are key factors. Andre de Vries and John de Froe will share how we expect you to migrate your applications, and more.

Connect to MS Office

Course instructor: Vincent Oorsprong

Vincent will present the possibilities to integrate MS Office functionality in your Windows applications.

DataFlex Extensions and Controls

Course instructor: Henri Reterink

The professional services teams of Data Access Worldwide sometimes have need for extensions on DataFlex. Some of those are interesting to make available to other developers. Henri will demonstrate some new controls and extensions on DataFlex. At EDUC, it will be LibXL, to support the use of Excel in DataFlex, Quill, a new web editor and a new library to support Single Sign On.

DataFlex Reports

Course instructor: Vincent Oorsprong

The development of DataFlex Reports mainly focuses on. Unicode and 64-bit! Vincent will demonstrate what it means to you, if you use DataFlex Reports in your development process.

Advanced History Management

Course instructor: Henri Reterink

The web framework offers very strong and easy to implement navigation. But what if you need to deviate from the `beaten path'? Henri will tell you how to do that.

Dynamic Objects

Course instructor: Harm Wibier

A powerful new technique in DataFlex is to seemingly create objects out of thin air, dynamically. Dynamic Web Objects offer an easy way to do this, allowing you a new way to create unique and powerful solutions.

Process Pooling

Course instructor: Harm Wibier

DataFlex is so easy, because it takes care of very technical details - under the hood. True, and DataFlex applications are so responsive because of a clever process pooling system. Automated efficiency. However, if you do not understand how it works, things could automatically go very wrong. Are your web apps "process pooling proof"?

Order Entry 2.0

Course instructor: Nick Nikijuluw

The Order Entry sample in DataFlex Studio is like a good old friend. It's good and old, and we will never get rid of it. Nick will tell more about it.

WebApp True 24 7 release management

Course instructor: Marco Kuipers

In a modern environment where new builds can be pushed several times a week, it is essential to maintain availability. In this presentation we discuss certain boundaries to stay within, and some scripts and techniques that assist you to offer high availability. Marco Kuipers will demonstrate how DataFlex SPLF plays an essential role in this dance.

Course instructor: Harm Wibier

HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is essentially the basics of the web. Everything you do in your browser uses HTTP (for example, websites, Web Applications, and SOAP Web Services). With the New HTTP Handler, HTTP requests can be handled completely in DataFlex. This makes you independent from Classic ASP, and provides the perfect basis for building your REST Services. Harm shows how you can use the HTTP Handler in DataFlex.

Machine Learning

Course instructor: Johan Broddfelt

Find new ways to get intelligence from your data and how you can integrate machine learning in DataFlex projects. Johan will guide you and provide some real-life examples.

Clever multi language

Course instructor: Klaus Berthelsen

With support for Unicode on the horizon, making incorporating multiple languages capabilities in your applications is going to be interesting. How to make all these language translation sets? Can Google help with that?

Go DataFlex, and go in Style

Course instructor: Luuk Gottenkieny

Luuk will provide some easy to use design tips and tricks for DataFLex programmers. He will provide a simple recipe that anyone can implement, and will make your apps look much better!

Web Deployments

Course instructor: Stephen Meeley

Stephen will explore the area of deploying WebApp solutions. Different scenarios are explained, including Cloud and for an SPLF configuration.

Strong Password and Security Module

Course instructor: Joao Mauricio Rinardo

Joao cares for security when it comes to delivering DataFlex solutions. He will share what is now "work in progress" for a new module that will make it very easy for developers to add security to their solutions. Your future web applications will always start here!

DataFlex Data Dictionaries

Course instructor: Vincent Oorsprong

The concept of centralized business rules, captured in Data Dictionaries and automatic data binding, is something rather unique in DataFlex, and it is a great thing. However, more ways lead to Rome, so to say. What about using embedded SQL. Or use traditional commands, like a Saverecord? Vincent will set out what is considered a best-practice approach towards this.

MySQL high performance at low cost

Course instructor: Chip Casanave & Marcia Booth

MySQL databases account for over two-thirds of the installed database market. MySQL is supported as of DataFlex 2019 and will be supported in future revisions. Note that there are interesting variations in the "MySQL family" such as MariaDB and Aurora. First, we take a look at MySQL cloud options, and review some success cases. Next, we use a familiar DataFlex sample applications to demonstrate the performance of MySQL, compared to Microsoft SQL Server. We conclude with recommendations, tips and advice for deploying MySQL successfully with DataFlex web and Windows applications.

TRAINING Dynamic Objects

Course instructor: Harm Wibier

Using the new dynamic web objects, you can generate user interfaces based on data. Learn how to use this technique in your application to build questionnaires and dynamic dashboards.

TRAINING Connect to MS Office

Course instructor: Vincent Oorsprong

Word, Excel and Outlook are interesting products to use within a DataFlex application. In this training, you learn how you can use Word and Outlook via COM (Component Object Model).

TRAINING Advanced History Management

Course instructor: Henri Reterink

DataFlex 19.1 introduced a new model for managing browser history, actually supporting the proper use of the Back Button. During this training you learn how to use these new techniques and how to expand it. This advanced training will answer questions about custom state hash and when to use HistoryReplaceState.

TRAINING Talk with the Experts

Course instructor: Harm Wibier, Vincent Oorsprong, Stephen Meeley

This is an "open mic" session allowing developers to ask questions directly to R&D members and management of Data Access Worldwide.

TRAINING Migrating to DataFlex 2020

Course instructor: Andre de Vries & John de Froe

The new generation of DataFlex brings you Unicode and 64-bit support. During the online part of the training you will learn what has changed and what it takes to convert your application. After the EDUC event, we will schedule private sessions of one hour with each individual participant, to go over their personal situation. Have your workspace ready for an overhaul!

TRAINING Data Dictionaries

Course instructor: Vincent Oorsprong

DataFlex has three different methods for accessing and editing data: Data Dictionaries, Embedded SQL and via commands. For some developers, data dictionaries still have mysteries and in this training, you learn how to use them successfully, how to customize structures and in which situations you can better pass them through Embedded SQL or commands.

TRAINING WebApp Deployments

Course instructor: Stephen Meeley

During this training, you will learn techniques needed to deploy and tune your web applications. We will look at applying SPLF and perform stress tests. Also some of the new DataFlex 20 features like running your WebApps under a separate Windows user will be discussed.
