Back by popular demand, InfoCan Management offers two-day seminars exploring Internet, Kylix and Palm Cross Platform Development with Delphi. Response to the one-day seminar in November 2000, was so incredible that eleven more cities have been added to the tour. Sponsored by ASTA Technology Group, Pocket Technologies and VMware, dates are now scheduled and the tour will commence in February 2001. Please refer to the online registration at <http://www.infocan.com/idwdtour> for a listing of scheduled dates and cities. The first day of this seminar is a condensed version of what is normally a five-day hands-on training program for Internet Development with Delphi 5. The seminar is aimed specifically at Delphi developers who have the need to move their existing applications to the Internet. Since its debut in late April, this class has sold out every scheduled date. See for yourself how you can leverage your knowledge and investment in Delphi and evolve to the next generation of cyberspace computing. Since 1997, InfoCan Management has been working with our clients to help them migrate their existing Client/Server based applications to n-tier, web-based distributed applications. This course was written based on our experiences from these projects. Please refer to the InfoCan website at <http://www.infocan.com/idwdtour> for a list of the topics to be covered. The second day of the seminar is aimed at developers that are already experienced with Delphi and need to migrate their existing applications to platforms other than Windows. We will explore Kylix, the high performance Rapid Application Development Tool for Linux, and other cross platform development using Delphi. With the introduction of Kylix, Borland has opened the door for Delphi developers to take their skills beyond the Windows platform. This seminar will focus on topics such as migration concerns, cross platform compatibility issues as well as developing native Palm applications with full database connectivity using an Optic Pascal language. A number of complimentary tools will be demonstrated to highlight some of the power and shortcuts in making the transition.
