Topic 1: Advantage Database Server
Chuck Vertrees, Extended Systems
www.advantagedatabase.com

For November 1, 1999, Chuck Vertrees from Extended Systems, Inc. will be presenting a demonstration of Advantage Database Server.

The Advantage Database Server is a scalable, seamless, high-performance DBMS that brings client/server benefits to mobile, networked and Internet-networked database applications. By redesigning the PC database architecture, Advantage allows developers to work with the same easy-to-use development tools and methodology, but replaces the distributed PC database architecture with a client/server model. The Advantage Database Server is available either as a Novell NetWare NLM or a Microsoft Windows NT Service.

Each attendee will receive a demonstration CD including tools evals and a deployable version of the Advantage Delphi Client Kit. Also, a developer's package of Advantage Database products will be giving away, consisting of:

Advantage Database Sever 10-user
Advantage Delphi Client Kit
Advantage Internet Server
(retail value $1950 US)
 
Topic 2: Some Neat Delphi 5 Stuff!
John Kaster, Borland

John will take a look at InternetExpress and Delphi 5's frames.

John is the Developer Relations Manager for Borland. Previously, John was Enterprise Product Manager for Inprise Corporation, managing MIDAS, the BDE, and distributed computing connectivity for Delphi and C++ Builder. Some of you may know John from his pre-Borland days, when he helped write the books Programming in Clipper 5 and Delphi Database Development and wrote and helped write several third-party development tools for both Clipper and Delphi.
