Title: Reach every platform using Object Pascal for web technology.
Summary: In this session, Bruno Fierens, CTO of tmssoftware.com will show you how you can create Object Pascal based web client applications that run on every device with a modern browser. With this technology it is also possible to create offline apps for a mobile device as well as deploy these web technology based projects as native applications running on all major operating systems: Windows, macOS, Linux and also Raspberry Pi. On Raspberry Pi, one can even access the electronics attached to it via i²c, SPI, GPIO, UART in an Object Pascal based application.
These applications can be generated from the Delphi IDE, the Lazarus IDE as well as Visual Studio Code running on Windows, macOS and Linux.
