Bruce Jenkins - JBuilder
Bruce has been hooked on Borland since his first compiler: Turbo Pascal for CP/M. He wrote his undergraduate software projects in Pascal, FORTRAN, C, and assembler on an ATR8000 using his Atari 800 as the CP/M terminal. Bruce is an Air Force Communications and Information Officer and holds a master's degree in operations research from the Air Force Institute of Technology. His current duties have taken him to the South, where he manages the development and maintenance of wargaming software written in C++. He prefers software project management to coding, so Java is just one of his many hobbies.

Bill Zissimopolous - Delphi
Bill has been programming for about 10 years and has used more than 20 programming languages in 4 different operating environments (MSDOS, Win16, Win32, UNIX). He fell in love with Borland tools ever since he saw the Turbo C 2.0 environment and has remained a loyal Borland fan ever since. Bill used to hate Pascal until he saw Delphi 1 somewhere in 1995. Object Pascal + Delphi is now his favorite tool when programming for Windows and he cannot wait to see it on UNIX. Bill's main areas of interest/programming expertise are systems and network programming and lately distributed programming using COM or CORBA.

Remy Lebeau - C++ Builder
Remy is an Art student from the USA, and has been programming in C/C++ as a hobby for only the last couple of years. Though C++ is his primary programming language (with a focus in VCL programming and usage in particular), Remy is also familiar with Java, VB, Object Pascal, and Javascript/VBScript. Although Remy is just a hobbyist programmer, he has made several popular freeware programs/VCL components being used by the general public, and has set up a free mailing list to inform them of updates to his software, or when new programs become available.
