Embarcadero is on a marketing spree to convince developers Delphi and C++ Builder is a “secret weapon”, and winning developers use Delphi to gain competitive advantages.

A database company should be showcasing its own technology.

Should dBase make a fork for WordPress to use dBase files?

dBase LLC’s website is now on-line. The admins hosting the dBase LLC website should use their own software - install their IIS dBase extensions.
