Neven,
I think you're arguing a different point. I agree that the real cost of
using a MS development tool is much higher than the likes of Delphi.
However that makes the value of attending the seminar that much higher,
because the tools are so "unintuitive" to use, IMO of course.
Both companies provide tools to develop software. Borland's are better and
they set the price accordingly. The seminars offer a chance for the company
to demo the product, and show how easy it is to use. Assuming you own the
product being demo'd, I would contend that the value to you of taking a day
off work and attending either seminar is comparable, and therefore that the
Borland seminars are hardly worth over 5 times the price.
regards,
Paul.
