Borland has finally announced what they are doing with their developer tools. By the sound of what is going on from the Yahoo Finance site, Borland is forming a new company that will be a "wholly-owned subsidiary".
Anyway, they have a web site: CodeGear.com.
The front page shows an animated GIF showing: CodeGear = new Company(); or CodeGear := TCompany.Create(); or $CodeGear = new Company()
Sun finally came through on its promise to go Open Source with Java. And they did. With a remarkably small amount of fanfare I might add.
At least I haven't heard much on it yet -- but then again, I'm mainly a .NET developer. So what would I know? :)
Anyway, here is the official Sun web site for it: http://www.sun.com/software/opensource/java/

Since BSDG used to be primarily a Borland user group, I thought we should at least mention that Firebird has gone 2.0.
For those of you that don't know, FireBird is the Open Sourced version of Borland's Interbase database. It has installs for Windows 32 and 64, and multiple versions of Linux
Title says it all for now...and on election day. Hmmmmm.

According to IT Wire, they have received official word that Vista, Office 2007, and Exchange will be released on Nov 7. That should mean the release of .NET 3.0 as well.

I think this will be the new official D Day for developers and IT professionals everywhere, and hopefully will round out a pretty full release calendar for the past few months. I'm still coming to terms with IE7 and FireFox 2.0. Now we have a new OS and Office platform to boot! And a slew of new things in .NET 3.0!
It isn't that this changes everything, but it will change nearly everything.
