I'm at the Borland Developers Tools Group European Developers Conference (EuroDevCon, for short) in Frankfurt. This is also EKON 10, the tenth installation of a popular German conference. This is why half of the classes are in German...

Anyway, I did arrive late for the introductory keynote, but got some reports by other attendees. David I presentation on the status of Borland/DevCo revealed nothing new on the side of the new company. We still have to wait. Nick Hodges (I think) showed a new roadmap. Things did not chagne much but got shifted a little bit: Highlander is well into 2007, and the Compact Framework support will apparently be provided after the product ships. I saw a couple of pictures, I guess they'll be posted soon.

That's for the bad news. For the good ones, Borland officially announced InterBase 2007, as you can read also here. Also, in the technology keynote in the evening, Nick showed a demo of nDataStore, the long-awaited .NET version of jDataStore. nDataStore is a fully managed RDMS server written in C#. The nice thing is you can write triggers and stored procedures for it in Delphi for .NET. And it is a complete and standard SQL server. I'm looking forward to play with it.

The conference so far is quite nice. We had a small celebration for the 10 years of EKON tonight, a bigger party tomorrow. I doubt I'll blog every day, don't think we'll see so much news after today. But you never know...
