At EDUC, DataFlex Reports will be at version 8.1, and Vincent will cover all changes in the product as of version 8.0, presenting new features and improvements. Perhaps, Vincent will be able to show some ‘work in progress’, new features for the upcoming release.
“How big a server should I get?” “What should I set my process pool to?” “What will adding an SPLF server do for performance?” If these questions sound familiar, this session is for you! The new diagnostic metrics that the WebApp Administrator provides are a game changer in determining the answers to these questions and more. Come see how they help.

Ah, security… never has a single word carried so much weight yet been so diffused in what it means! Your customers wish it were as simple as checking a box, but we all know it’s not that easy. Applications need to be designed and deployed with security in mind at many levels. We consider security in every decision we make about our products, and you should too. Join a review of how we approach the topic of security and the many security-related features, techniques, tools and updates we provide to help you deliver on this critical aspect of doing business.

Yes! These custom controls are part DataFlex, part JavaScript. Jakob shows how to build one, using the latest technologies, free from worries about browser support and complicated legacy JavaScript syntax. Get a free drop-in template to add to your DataFlex workspace and start quickly with any custom component, using the same toolchain.
With the rapid increase of available web solutions, users will be logging in to multiple systems each day. Identity Access Management has therefore become an increasingly important part of software development. One aspect of that is particularly important for end-users: Supporting Single Sign On. Sign in only once and being able to use all your applications. Jakob will explain how to offer Single Sign On for environments that need to support Active Directory.
Starting a major web project can be daunting when you have limited experience with traditional web technologies. Where to start? Is knowing DataFlex alone really enough? These are the questions that Peter Bragg, a long time developer of Windows applications, recently found himself facing. And the answers? Well, we’ll let Peter tell you, as he shares his early thoughts and experiences about his progress to date.
If you have paid attention to Steve’s “Security by Design” presentation, you are all safe. Well, are you? Raphael, our Friendly DataFlex Hacker, fully underlines what Steve says, but he will add some more insight from the perspective of a hacker. After you have taken the advised measures, you must test whether they are truly effective. In short: What does a hacker look for, what should you look for, or avoid. And what is no issue, because DataFlex takes care of it!
Emil will present an advanced version of the 2FA security system. Logins are extra secure by combining the usual credentials with codes generated by the Google- or Microsoft Authenticators. To connect the application with the Authenticator app, the user receives a link, that leads the user through a wizard, that helps connect the application with the help of a QR code.
As of April 1st, Denmark enforces compliance with EU regulations to remove any branding on cigarette packages.

Klaus will present the multiple facets of this project, that was delivered quickly under high time pressure.
DSV (logistics and warehousing) is a large organization with 75.000+ employees worldwide and DSV is a long-time DataFlex user. One of their customers, the American Tobacco company, required more granular definitions for security and password definition. Sture Andersen implemented the DataFlex Security Module, SecMod in the logistics software of DSV, and added some nice features to SecMod as well!
The FlexTron project offers DataFlex developers to build GUI Desktop applications, using web technology. In other words, your Windows fat client app can look any way you want it to!
Have you ever wondered how DataFlex is made? What kind of tooling we use to build our Compiler, Runtime, and Studio? During this presentation Bram will be showing you how we use our build-server to get out a release. Also, with our ever-growing commitment to improve, we’ll take a look at what is to come. Using better integrated testing in the build-system, and multipipeline philosophy.
Did you ever get into the situation that you had to work with different versions of databases? Did you solve it by using multiple virtual machines? Bram will show how very efficiently this can be solved by using containers. We’ll look at how deployments are tested on multiple different systems in an easy to manage way!
Wouldn’t it be nice to control your application by using voice? Johan works on a conversational interface for a hands-free application. The presentation starts out with demonstrating the application, followed by a walkthrough of how it was implemented.
