DataFlex Reports is the default reporting option for DataFlex applications, for Windows, or web. 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.

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.

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.

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?

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!

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.
