Online Talk and Delphi NEWS

Short notice ... but it's online, and just a starter for getting regular meetings up and running again. Nominally 6pm, to start by 6.15pm.

  - RTTI and Attributes
  - RTTI and Generics for a function that can return any type
  - Testing. DUnit & DUnitX. (and TestInsight)
