Many of us used Delphi because it was the best tool for the job. Dot Net is changing things.
Is Delphi still the best tool?
Will Delphi be the best tool in 5 years?
Come out and hear what these three experts have to say about Delphi and other tools.
The format will be a 10 to 15 min uninterrupted presentation by each of the speakers.
Then there will be up to 45 min open discussion where the speakers can challenge or expand on what the other speakers have said.
