It's an understatement to say that there is a lot of excitement mounting for Borland's Delphi and C++Builder products on Linux. Linux itself is nothing short of a phenomenon rising out of obscurity just a few years ago, to be the hottest topic in every computer-related periodical available. However, the biggest deficit of this free and stable operating system is the lack of applications.

Borland aims to change all that!

We hear a lot about multitier applications and Borland's Multitier Distributed Application Services Suite (MIDAS) is an excellent tool to create and deliver them with Delphi. Come hear an introductory level presentation of the benefits Delphi developers have using MIDAS to implement their multitier solutions. We will discuss the purpose and use of various MIDAS components, general information about multitier application design, and walk through the code of a small multitier application.

Nevrona Designs will be presenting a talk on Internet Direct (Indy) and other open source Internet components available in Inprise/Borland products. Also, an overview of their new product release Rave Reports 4.0 will be presented.
