Hi,

We will soon be converting to a MS-Windows based environment.  I actually
got my boss to agree to send a few of our programmers to classes.  I am
sure I could call Microsoft and they would have something, but I wanted
to ask you netters about the "best" classes.  I assume third parties
must offer better classes at cheaper prices some place.  I would like
to keep travel expenses to a minimum, so the closer to Disneyland (Anaheim
Calif) the better.

As a side question, I have heard rave reviews about the new Borland
C++ compiler.  You supposedly don't need a SDK and you can get a window
up and open much easier (source code wise).  I would be interested in
comments about the Borland package, particularly from programmers who
have used BOTH MS and Borland.  In particular, is Borland at all compatable
with the MS SDK?  (i.e. are the calls at all the same or totally different?)
Can a windows program written in MS easily be ported to Borland and/or
visa versa?

Thanks

Frank
