Welcome to the NEW Friends-Of-FPC (FoFPC) Website!

FoFPC Version 2.0 is underway... I have truly appreciated everyones positive feedback on the new look and feel, along with ideas for the new content. I am still working on migrating the old content to the new look and feel, along with asking for new articles from you! This month I am working on the new message base (a different type of "Web Forum"), along with porting all of the FreePascal RTL to online searchable content. The RTL project is consuming hours, as I am building working examples for every command I document. You may have noticed the find box, it works, not pretty yet. However, you can search our content - including content of PDF files.
I would like to extend a special thank you to Neil over at Delphi Basics for providing my first external link to the site. If you are a blogger, or even a web master, please pass along our http://www.friends-of-fpc.org/ address in your postings. As you may have noticed, I have been tuning the content and graphics for better performance, the bottom of every page you will see which server processed your request and how many millionths of a second it took. Yes, the server cluster is truly that fast!
If you would like to help sponsor Friends of FPC you can do so by purchasing a sponsored by banner as you see on the bottom of each page. As we didcate hours per week researching what people are searching for on the web - then we look at our knowledgebase and if it is something we have extensive knowledge on - an article is written and published. However, if it is a topic that we must research, I post my research in real-time in the research area. So, you may find documents in the research area which are brief thoughts, or just stop right in the middle of a statement --- I am constantly working --- so I will finish the document soon. Simply email me, and I will make it a higher priority... or when the messagebase is finished this month - you will be able to ask your questions there.

FoFPC finds a new home and new managers. 3F Labs (a division of 3F, LLC) has enthusiastic hopes of providing one of the most valuable assets to the FPC developer's arsinal.
The new web site is like the great Oceans of our planet ... accessable everywhere with depth and new things everywhere you look. Your new web master (G.E. Ozz Nixon Jr) says thanks to Dirk aka Delax for starting FoFPC and making sure the move to our servers went smooth! Ozz previously ran the Delphi Deli and DelphiX before getting involved with Winshoes (later Indy) then starting Brain Patchwork DX, LLC to market the commercial strength socket suite called DXSock. He comes to 3F with over 30 years of Pascal development experience and is the lead on all of our cross-platform enterprise projects. He selected FreePascal Compiler over all other tools and we now write single source for LWM (Linux, Windows and Mac OS X (Both PowerPC and Intel)). For more information about Ozz or our company check out the About button above.
FoFPC now operates on a web server cluster developed by 3F Labs; running 6 Ubuntu 8.04 servers, with our Oracle database replication software ... a 16mb Internet service and a 2mb fail-over Internet service. This means you will experience high-speed, reliable access to FoFPC information! 3F has dedicated a Senior Software Architect to share 3F's experience and knowledge of using FreePascal on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. During the move from the old site to this new one, you can still access old URLs and the Old.html home page.
