您正在看的电脑技术荟萃是:BCB的未来发展发方向。

大家看看这个，BCB in DiamondBack!
VCL版本的BCB将集成在将来的Delphi版本中，重点在于
支持.net和win32，RAD开发。
而非VCL的版本，也就是现在的BCBX,将会继续发展，
Borland官方会先发布一个补丁，让BCBX支持Code Completion。
接下来BCBX会有进一步的发展，重点在于跨平台，而非RAD开发。

BorCon - C++ Meet The Team!
Maybe I should have called this C++ Beat the Team... Actually, it turned out sli
ghtly better than anticipated.. but of course not as good as the Delphi event 24
hours prior (where we all walked away with a interim build copy of Diamondback)
.

John Ray Thomas (JT) was the host of the meet the team. It's always great to see
and hear from JT, as he's got a pretty good read of what we want and need. The
problem, he's not one of the decision makers on what Borland does. More on that
later. JT came prepared for the arrows as reflected in his opening remarks... "I
t was funny as we were preparing for this session at Johnny Rockets someone ment
ioned that the last public hanging was right across the street." He added, "but
we've come prepared to provide some honest upfront answers regarding...



The Open Letter
The future of C++Builder
CBX
C++ support for .NET
I should mention JT also had George Paulini, his boss, by his side, with a few o
f the C++ team members in the audience, as well as DavidI, Michael Swindell, All
en Bauer, Danny Thorpe, and others.

JT shared that since last year they have gone through a re-org. With George as h
ead of all the developer tools (Java, Delphi, C++). Boz Elloy is his boss at the
executive level. Scott Arnold, incidentally, also weighs in as he "is responsib
le for shaping the company’s business strategy [Borland web site]" - thus holds
the purse strings. Incidentally, JP LeBlanc, the former C++ exec product manage
r and principle decision maker in the team going from BCB6(VCL) to CBX, took a j
ob in France, for those that didn't know.

On the topic of the Open Letter. JT shared that it was ready to go several times
, but held back by the executive team (legal) at the last minute for further del
iberation. DavidI piped in, jokingly of course, that it was "still being spell c
hecked."

You could tell from JT's physical demeanor that he was a bit disappointed that t
he Open Letters didn't go out because of the change in direction from the top. H
owever, in the midst of uncertain "product planning" decisions being made by the
Management Team, George didn't want to send mix signals (flip flopping); which
he states would have occurred if they had released the open letters. In fact, th
at "product planning", which is influenced by the Sales Force field, is still be
ing deliberated by Management (more on that in a moment). The biggest gripe from
the audience on this is that they could have done a much better job of communic
ating --- at least showing some heartbeat C++ was still alive. Certainly, the la
ck of acknowledgment that something / anything was being worked on, was poor exe
cution on their part. It was made quiete clear that this silence has come across
as abandonment of their C++ product line and it's users.

The good news is that we learned tonite that Borland, at least their development
team, has no intention to abandon C++, and, at least for the development team,
they have had game plan! It's just that that game plan must be finalized by the
Management team. (Thus it's still Jello)...

JT shared that between last year and this year they (the development team) recog
nized that a new version of BCB was needed!" However, after months of developmen
t, the field (sales force) came back and told them that they needed CBX first. S
o at this point (today), they are still investigating how to deliver BCB!

As proof of t
