By Our Special Correspondent

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM, SEPT. 9. Keltron is introducing a six-month advanced course in software based on Middleware technology which is adaptable for any language or platform.

According to a Keltron press release, the course is based on the latest concept of component object model which is used widely in higher level software services. It also covers the basics of Socket Communications required for the futuristic networks called Distributed Network Architecture. Advanced level programming like OOPS, GUI, COM/DCOM, Web technologies and protocols are also included.

The new concept makes it easy to select any computer language for developing the software, which supports all operating systems like Macintosh, UNIX, Linus and Windows. Updating of software will be very comfortable using the new concept, as the entire programme need not be re-written. It also avoids obsolescence of the employees due to advancements in technology.

Also, ERP majors like SAP, Baan and Peoplesoft are into tie-ups with Microsoft for COM-based ERP applications.
