We invite you to attend the free CodeGear Developer Day.

CodeGear formerly Borland's Developer Tools Group, is responsible for the Integrated Development Environment (IDE) product lines including Developer Studio (Delphi®, C++Builder® and C#Builder®), JBuilder® 2007, and InterBase®. We're also working on plans that help developers take advantage of growing and emerging technologies like web services, Ruby, PHP and Ajax.

Join us in this exciting free Developer Day where you will be among the first to be introduced to CodeGear. Our technical presentations will also include detailed product roadmaps and product sneak peaks.

Topics include:

Delphi

Due to overwhelming customer demand, CodeGear will release in March a new version of the award-winning Delphi product line focused on native Windows development. With enhancements such as support for the Vista™ operating system, project build improvements, new database technologies, to name just a few, here is your chance for a first look at this much anticipated release.

CodeGear expects that this announcement will take many people by surprise. To be launched at this seminar will be a brand new product line, a Rapid Application Development (RAD) environment that will revolutionize PHP web development. With all the benefits you've come to expect from Delphi's RAD environment and component framework, this product will become the premier tool for developing PHP web applications. We will show you how simple it is to create powerful and robust PHP web applications with this new tool.

We will demonstrate how you can deliver a better product to your customer, with a more reliable and powerful installation.

CodeGear's recent release of InterBase 2007 introduced some fantastic new and important features to the product. In this session our InterBase expert will guide you through 2 of the new features, Incremental Back-up and Journaling. Additionally we will explore how the gap between InterBase and the open sourced version of InterBase (Firebird) has widened and what you need to know in order to be able to target both database platforms. InterBase 2007 provides the performance, reliability and edge that you expect from your database solution. This session will be repeated in the afternoon.

JBuilder 2007

2006 saw a number of large changes to the JBuilder product, not least of which was the move to the Eclipse platform. In this session we will demonstrate ProjectAssist™ / TeamInsight™ and other techniques you can use to control your development environment. In addition, we will show how to graphically create EJB 3.0 applications, as well as showing off the new code profiling and debugging capabilities of OptimizeIt™.
