<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=965304004-22062005><FONT face=Verdana
size=2>"The language used for any given project is starting to loose it's
importance and becoming just a personal choice with the competition amongst
tools vendors heating up as a result. With their most recent version of
Delphi, Borland is now competing head on with Microsoft in their own .NET
space. This can only be a good thing. Most software groups just go
with VS.NET without even thinking about alternatives probably because most are
not even aware that decent ones exist. Nahum's demo will take a whirlwind
tour through the Delphi 2005 IDE to demonstrate it's productivity enhancing
tools and rapid application development+design features.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

size=2>So not language based but rather tools based - I'm not a massive expect
in ECO or the webstuff but I try and briefly pop it up. Also this is
not a demo I'd do to a Delphi group so as a Delphi person don't expect any
fabulously new insight. Although something I have noticed over the years
is that two people can use the delphi IDE in completely different
ways.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV align=left>So if anyone here in Chch hasn't seen it and wants to then
bowl on along - goto to the website for a desc of what I'm doing and to
register for the event. I should mention though that I'm aiming this at
a bunch of people that hasn't seen Delphi before and from a 'this is the IDE
and how it helps you' prospective. I'm not trying to do a sales
pitch of it - just letting them know that there is an alternative to VS.NET
for the C# projects.</DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></FONT></BODY></HTML>
