Starting the conference

"Times they are a changin..."
an old song of Bob Dylan. So actually anything changes all the time: I was very much surprised these days when I was doing some research about the Quantum Internet that there will be soon some rigorous new developments to happen in two years: 2020!
Read the transcript (page 30) of this TEDx where Stephanie Wehner is explaining what the Quantum Internet means: A step for mankind as big as the creating of the internet in 1969, as big as Columbus discovering the Americas in 1492. And even bigger. Put it in to your Agenda...

I am always fascinated by these kind of amazing and even fantastical developments but we have done quite some developments of our own:
(I mean we as a Pascal community).
We created Pas2 JS, the Webcore component group from TMS, the FNC component group - again from TMS and now we have a new phenomena:
the gaming suite...Why is that so special?

Because you now can make your own 2D and 3DGames. Because that means you can create your own 3D live software and because something very special is coming on that ever has been my greatest dream:
I want to make Pascal available to children in the most purest and simplest way:
let them play with Pascal. How?

Quite simple: this gaming engine makes it possible for a child to have a form where you can draw on, create your own house or bear or cat or car and... move it live around on the paper.
Turn it around or make 3D of it. And...on the other form you immediately can see the code. You can see it changing live.
And backwards: if you change the code the tree will grow - or shrink! Live.

But that's not all: I would really like the kid to learn some of the directives that you need for pascal code writing: think of that apple falling from the tree - which Mr. Newton experimented with , then remember the steps: if - then else? What about an array? Pretty easy to draw...
Imagine...

How fabulous would that be - explaining code to a child and let it try it by altering the statement through drawing it?
And vice versa...
learning all the essential bits and pieces through playing?

I will show it to you in Köln/Bonn next Saturday (22 September) with the help of Michalis Kamburelis who is the developer of all that beautiful stuff.

Imaging you your self could in code write a scenario where you can walk through a building and let your customer have a preview and tell you where the cables, the communications and what other things could go by walking through that building... and all that is done in ONE Language: Pascal!

I think we are quite well on the way to make Pascal the tool it should be: a great tool for everyone in whatever situation on whatever platform...

If this really interests you:
come to the Lazarus Professional Conference next weekend: 20/21/22
of September. The Saturday (22) is the best way for you to get value for your money: you will get the Library Credit Card USB Stick for free! If you come, send us your request for the voucher code and we will make sure you will get extra discount... office@blaisepascal.eu
