Introduction | Track: Best Practices | Tags: Best Practices, Windows

Debugging a single program run by a single user on a single computer is a well understood problem. When a user reproduces and reports an error, the programmer attaches a debugger to the running process and examines program state to deduce where algorithms or state deviated from desired behavior.

Debugging in the wild is harder. If you're waiting around for users to tell you about problems with your application, then you're seeing only a tiny fraction of all the problems that are actually occurring. Most users won't bother telling you about problems. They'll just quietly stop using your application.

Dealing with unexpected errors on the server side is something we have all done for a long time. Now it’s time to apply the same error monitoring to our JavaScript codebase. This is especially important for Ext JS applications where the frontend usually contains 100k+ lines of code.

One of the biggest challenges facing developers of mobile applications in Delphi is how best to manage multiple views. The TTabControl provides the basic mechanics of switching between views, and a common approach is to simply define each view on a page of the tab control. However, it is impractical to put all controls for all views onto one form. Another approach is to use frames for each view, but frames do not display mobile styles, and more importantly, it is very easy for inline instances of frames to become out of sync with source frames. Furthermore, neither of these approaches offer any support for view navigation. In this session, a new approach is presented that simplifies view management, facilitates view navigation, and isolates view definitions.

Along the way, we will learn how to effectively use the Style Designer, when to use multiple Style Books, and tips to make your custom styles look their best.

All | Track: Quantum Computing | Tags: Learning to Program

Musical improvisation is the creative activity of composing music "in the moment" while performing it, often in a jam session with other musicians. Although composing and performing music is a creative process, the underlying musical style informs the probabilities of note and rhythmic choices that the musician makes. For example, when improvising in the style of twelve-bar blues, the notes played with the highest frequency of occurrence are typically the five that comprise the corresponding minor pentatonic scale.

This idea of musical style being a complex system of probabilities fits perfectly with the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics, which is a phenomenon leveraged by quantum computing. To implement this idea, James Weaver created an open source application named Quantum Music Composer that makes use of a quantum computer to improvise music in a very simplified version of 17th century counterpoint.

In this session, James will give an introduction to quantum computing, cover a bit of music theory, and demonstrate how a quantum computer can compose music and participate in a musical jam session. He will then discuss the development and implementation of the Quantum Music Composer application on IBM quantum computers.
