Time	Description
14:30-15:00	Welcome and News, Problem Clinic - Alan Wickham
15:00-15:45	IntraWeb : Allen O'Neill, Springboard Technologies Allen will talk on IntraWeb which is now avaliable as part of Delphi 7 and is also very tightly tied in with Indy. IntraWeb makes writing web apps as easy as writing a standard Delphi desktop app - while not the perfect solution for large scale production sites with huge hit loading, it nonetheless provides a means for pumping out web projects in a fraction of the time previously possible. Unlike existing Delphi web development solutions, Intraweb also allows for extremly easy debugging. This session is aimed at those who currently develop for the web or are thinking of porting existing applications to the web. Allen is known for packing a lot of information into short spaces of time, so bring your notebooks !
