>>Software<< Development '97 (SD '97), the industry's most significant
>>software<< development show, taking place in Washington, D.C., from Sept.

SD '97 will provide a forum for over 250 of the world's leading
>>software<< development companies who will be showcasing the latest Java,
C++, Windows, UNIX, and Visual Basic technology solutions for developers,
team leaders, and >>software<< consultants.
A recent Survey of >>Software<< Development 1997 Attendees conducted by
Market Perspectives, Inc. and published by International Data Corp. (IDC)
indicated that `90% of SD '97 attendees are involved in the purchase
process, and nearly one out of five attendees actually authorizes
purchases.`
According to the report, `a large majority of attendee organizations are
investing in languages for developing distributed applications,
particularly C++ and Java,` and `the top >>software<< development
challenges among attendees during the coming year are improving usability
via GUIs (40%), developing/delivering new >>Internet<< applications (37%),
and improving >>software<< delivery time (36%).`
`>>Software<< Development 1997 offers the opportunity to look at the
current and future use of >>software<< development technologies,` said
Steve McClure, Director >>Internet<< Tools at IDC. `>>Software<< vendors
that can help developers improve usability, provide tools for developing
and delivering new Internet/intranet applications, and shorten >>software<<
delivery cycles will find a resonant audience in this group.`

from leading vendors including: updates on JBuilder and Visual dBASE7 from
Borland International, a look at the new Windows, ActiveX and Java tools
