Each year Borland puts together an amazing developer's conference called BorCon (as shown in Figure C.9). Arguably, it might be the most definitive resource on the planet for getting information regarding Borland products and technologies. Although multiple BorCon's are held at several locations around the world each year, the BorCon that gets all the attention is held in the United States. The thirteenth annual U.S. conference, which was held in May 2002, attracted more than 2,000 attendees. BorCons have also been held in countries such as Australia, France, Germany, and the UK.
BorCons are feature-packed. Over the course of five days, dozens of tutorials and technical sessions are presented on emerging technologies and Borland products ”including C++Builder ”by experts including Borland engineers . Often, the hardest part is deciding which of the great sessions to attend ! Apart from the tutorials and technical sessions, there are opening and closing keynotes, product addresses, exhibitor sessions, informal "birds of a feather" sessions, special (not to be missed) events, and a computer lab allowing attendees to test drive the latest Borland products.
In short, BorCon is one of the best places to get intense training on a variety of topics and provides an excellent opportunity to talk to Borland engineers, fellow C++Builder developers, authors, and speakers face-to-face.
