Having used Delphi for almost 8 years now, I've never used the DB
pallette professionally!
Seriously, DB is one totally unimportant aspect of Delphi, for my part.
Expertise lies in networking/protocols, telemetry processing, techie
stuff.
So I guess from a general demo I would enjoy hearing about new language
features, how to work with the FCL and other .NET assemblies, a preview
of how StarTeam works and integrates with the D8 IDE, etc.
