The Event

Explore what’s next in Delphi and beyond

The TMS Training Days bring developers together for an immersive learning experience focused on modern development challenges and opportunities.

 

Across multiple sessions and workshops, TMS partners, Delphi developers, and industry experts share their knowledge and real-world experience. This year’s program highlights emerging and practical topics such as AI in Delphi applications (and for building them!), Delphi solutions for the web, and leveraging cloud technologies.

 

The Training Days emphasize interaction and practical learning. Participants can engage directly with speakers, take part in hands-on exercises, and exchange ideas with fellow developers. Each session is designed to deliver insights that can be applied immediately in day-to-day development work.

 

Whether you are an experienced Delphi developer or looking to expand your skill set, the TMS Training Days provide a focused and inspiring environment to learn, connect, and grow. Beyond the technical content, the Training Days provide a great opportunity to meet the TMS team, exchange experiences, and engage in open discussions.

 

Join us at the TMS Training Days and stay at the forefront of software development!

Speakers

Bruno Fierens 

Bruno Fierens founded TMS Software in 1996, starting out by developing VCL components for the first version of Delphi.

In 1998, TMS Software became a Borland Technology Partner and soon gained recognition with multiple Delphi Informant awards for its innovative grid and scheduling components.
Over the years, the company expanded its scope and introduced cross platform FireMonkey components in 2011 for Windows, macOS, iOS, Android and Linux.

In 2016, TMS Software launched FNC, a framework neutral component architecture that allows developers to use the same UI controls across VCL, FMX and web applications.
Two years later, in 2018, the company introduced TMS WEB Core, enabling developers to create powerful web applications using Object Pascal.

Bruno is a frequent speaker at international conferences, including Be Delphi, DelphiTage, ITDevCon, CodeWay Tour, EKON, DevTracks and SDN. He has been an Embarcadero MVP since 2012.

José Leon Serna    

Creator of Delphi for PHP/HTML5 Builder and former Director of Engineering and Branch Manager at Embarcadero Technologies between 2010 and 2016. Although the Embarcadero’s branch participated in the development of several products, he was mainly responsible for RAD Studio, and more specifically, the IDE. He participated actively on the conception and implementation of multitude of new features, specially focused on multi-device development. He has been involved in IDE development for most part of his career and is the area where he enjoys most.

 

Wagner Landgraf

Graduated in Electronic Engineering and M.Sc in Industrial IT at Federal Technological University of Parana-Brazil.

More than 27 years experience (since 1995) in Delphi development - since Delphi 1.

Architect and main developer of TMS BIZ Delphi libraries like TMS Aurelius, TMS XData, TMS RemoteDB, TMS Scripter, among others.

 

Holger Flick

Since 1996, Dr. Holger Flick has been using Delphi as his primary development platform and has been an active member of the community. He studied computer science at Dortmund University and later wrote his dissertation at the Ruhr University in Bochum in the field of telemedicine. For his passion for and knowledge of Delphi he was awarded the “Delphi MVP” moniker in 2016. In 2019, Holger moved to the United States of America (USA) and established his new company FlixEngineering LLC. The company focuses on consulting, training and software development using object-oriented programming languages like Delphi, C#, Swift, and Objective-C. Holger is part of the TMS Software family providing his expertise as evangelist and QA engineer, technical product videos and books on various TMS components.

 

Adrian Gallero

Adrian Gallero is an Electrical Engineer who started his career with Delphi back in its Turbo Pascal 4 days. He has extensive experience in designing power line distribution systems for electrical companies in Montevideo and Rio de Janeiro. Adrian spent more than 3 years in Madrid, focusing on developing telecommunication management systems. Later, he moved to Sydney for over a year, where he specialized in creating custom solutions for a freight-forwarding company.
 

Throughout his career, Adrian has been proficient with spreadsheets, having developed a small component in 1996 that allowed his Delphi 1 applications to export data directly to spreadsheets. To his surprise, he recently discovered that the electrical company still uses these apps without any modifications today. This component evolved over the years, becoming known as FlexCel in 2001 and becoming part of the TMS family in 2002. Today, FlexCel is available in both Delphi and .NET versions, boasting over a million lines of code.

Bernard Roussely

Bernard Roussely is a cryptography and security expert based in Bordeaux, France, and serves as the Chief Architect of the TMS Cryptography Pack. With 35 years of experience in the field, he began his career programming in C and later moved to Pascal and Delphi for continued development. Bernard also runs two cybersecurity companies: Cyberens and Beware Cyberlabs.

Danny Wind

Danny Wind is an experienced Delphi trainer, consultant, and Embarcadero MVP who regularly speaks at developer events and Delphi launch sessions across the Netherlands and Belgium. He specializes in Delphi programming with a strong focus on FireMonkey, building great user interfaces, and writing responsive apps using threading/parallel programming techniques..
