Who We Are

The Programmers SIG is a group dedicated to exchanging ideas and information on programming with Microsoft's Visual Studio, Borland's Developer Studio, and related technologies. This includes Delphi, Lazarus, Chrome, C#, ASP, ASP.Net, and Mono.

The heart of the group is the use of Object Pascal for programming. We do touch on other technologies, but our focus is primarily Delphi with a sprinkle of Lazarus / FPC and Chrome thrown in for good measure.

Thomas Miller, Chair Person
