Delphi Power Programming D301

							D301 Delphi Power Programming
Benefits
The 32 bit environment provides a solid base for application development. Threads, Active X, Win 32 API, COM and
DCOM change the way programmers approach development. This course provides a thorough coverage of 32 bit
development with Delphi 3, Delphi 4 & Delphi 5, and programming for the intranet and Internet.


Who should attend?
Programmers & consultants who develop Delphi applications and want to enhance their Delphi skills, knowledge and
productivity.
