Topic: "Creating Scalable Applications with Business Objects"

This session introduces the concept of business objects and how they can be
used to create desktop applications that easily scale to two, three or
n-tiers. It demonstrates how business objects can provide Internet access to
your application and how they can adapt to their host environment by serving
up data in either VFP Cursor, XML, HTML or ADO format.
