General Information

Brian Long

Brian Long used to work at Borland UK, performing a number of duties including Technical Support on all the programming tools. Since leaving in 1995, Brian has been providing training and consultancy on Borland's RAD products ever since, and is now moving into the .NET world.

However, since then Brian has been providing freelance training, consultancy and problem-solving services for Borland's RAD products, and has also moved into the .NET world. This is both on-site (around the British Isles and within Europe) and, in the case of consultancy and problem-solving, sometimes also by email.

Brian regularly holds seminars and speaks at conferences around the world, including Borland Conferences (BorCon) and Delphi Conferences (DCon), and he also speaks at many UK Borland User Group (BUG) meetings.

Besides authoring a Borland Pascal problem-solving book published in 1994, and co authoring an early Delphi book published in 1996, Brian is a regular columnist in The Delphi Magazine and has had numerous articles published in Linux Format, Developers Review, Computing, Delphi Developers Journal and EXE Magazine. and on the Borland Developer Network Web site. He has also contributed chapters to some popular Delphi books.

Brian was nominated for the Spirit of Delphi 2000 award and was announced as Best Speaker at the BorCon 2002 (Borland's US Conference), held in Anaheim, California, July 2002.

A growing number of Brian's articles, published in various magazines, are available on the Web. See the articles page for full details.
