GUI for .Net - Life Before and After 3rd Party Controls
Mike McMillan
The presentation will focus on building your own reusable "OpenEdge friendly" controls using native MS .Net components. The first objective is to make the job easier for the OpenEdge developer by creating properties and methods that support OpenEdge concepts (i.e. temp table buffer handles). Third party controls can be cumbersome to develop with in an attempt to be everything to everybody. Secondly, it is arguable that not committing yourself to a third party control may be more "Future Proof" and more flexible (safer) for a couple of reasons: A) We are not tied to an object palette whose future is less certain; B) As the UI standards change, the previous efforts may more easily adapt or be re-factored. |

1,2,3, Scatter
Tom Bascom - White Star Software
"Scatter" is a measure of how your data is sprinkled across the disk. In this session you will learn about different ways to measure scatter, why they matter to the performance of your database queries and what you can do about it if your data is scattered to the winds!
- Scatter vs Fragmentation -- what's the difference?
- What is the "scatter factor" shown in DBANALYS telling me?
- What is "logical scatter"?
- Why should I care about logical scatter?
- How can I measure logical scatter?
- A case study: Using knowledge of logical scatter to improve performance.

Interfacing OpenEdge with HTML5 WebApps for Mobile Devices
Dustin Grau - BravePoint
With the rising popularity of smart phones and tablet computers, it makes sense to offer solutions for these mobile devices. But did you know that you can avoid the various "App Stores" by utilizing HTML5 to create a website that appears similar to a native app? This presentation will examine many readily available AJAX frameworks that have been specially built for mobile devices. It will also demonstrate how to deliver data by leveraging business logic from your existing OpenEdge applications. |

A Hidden Gem -- UNIX Shared Libraries
Tom Bascom - White Star Software
Have you ever wanted your program to "PAUSE 0.5" seconds? Did you know that you can call a UNIX shared library directly from your ABL code? This capability was introduced in Progress version 9 and, if properly used, completely eliminates the need to compile an "HLC" executable and opens the world of advanced UNIX APIs to developers! In this session we will learn how to call routines in the standard UNIX libraries and then create a custom UNIX shared library for that "secret sauce" that makes your application special!
- Why Use an External Library?
- Limitations of DLL calls
- Syntax of a DLL Call
- Finding the Right Library
- Using Libc
- Calling the math routines (sin(), cos() etc.)
- Putting together a custom library
- Example -- sub-second PAUSE

The Cloud RIA Performance Race
Frank Hillhorst - President of Progressive Consulting Inc.
Are you considering the migration of your application to a Web RIA? Will it be installed in the Cloud? Which RIA does one select? There are many issues to consider. This presentation focuses on how RIA's perform in the Cloud. The attendee will learn whether a particular RIA under consideration will meet their application performance requirements.
Since the advent of AJAX, web applications look and behave more and more like desktop applications. As a consequence, however, end users will expect that they also perform like desktop applications. For that reason, performance is a critical component to consider.
This session will explore a number of RIA technologies. We will examine how they connect to the PROGRESS back end and how performance can be optimized. SILVERLIGHT, JAVA JSP, JAVA/SWING, OPENLASZLO, AJAX/JAVASCRIPT, PHP & ASP.NET technologies will be evaluated. Many benchmark tests will be presented. By the end of the session, the attendee will have a much better understanding of how to optimize performance and which technologies perform the best in the Cloud. |
