ECO Tuitorials [was Re[2]: [DUG] D2006]

[Richard Vowles]

There is already migration from 2 -> 3 and no reason they won't
continue. The migration hassles from 2 -> 3 were simply the change in
the way the code gen took place.  

For .NET BDS users (DDS?), I will be spending quite a bit of effort in
educating the market with this tool, tutorials, seminars, example
projects, etc. Lots of plans around this. Lots. Not neglecting win32
though, as has been mentioned many a time, win32 is faster and does
almost everything .net does, it is a major selling point of the product
suite.

I have also been highly impressed by the demos on ECO and want to get
into it.  I also liked the look of Bold but never really had a project
for it.  I may have a project (in the next year or two) that I maybe
able to try ECO out on.  I just need to find some time to learn it.

My only worry with ECO is that the projects I'm involved in tend to be
long lived, will I be able to open an ECO III project in ECO IX like you
can with old delphi projects.
