Australian Delphi User Group
The Australian Delphi User Group has been active since 1994 when Delphi was still in the beta test Phase. Although we started in Melbourne we are a national group. Our electronic mailing list is one of the most popular interactive resources for Australian Delphi developers. Currently there are local activities in Melbourne and Sydney, but the policy of the ADUG is to promote and support the formation of local 'chapters'. ADUG members come from a variety of backgrounds and environments offering a wide range of Delphi and other software and hardware skills. By joining ADUG, you not only enhance your Delphi knowledge, but join a professional network offering information resources, knowledge exchange and the opportunity to make valuable contacts.
