John will give an overview of the enhancements, new features and benefits in DataFlex 2014 / 18.

Developing Custom Controls for Web - presented by John van Houten, Senior Software Engineer, Data Access Worldwide

The DataFlex Web Framework of is particularly well-suited for developing on-line database applications.
