Delphi: Overview: Can you give an overview of BizSnap, WebSnap, 
Datasnap?

BizSnap)

So I would say the common factor and goals in all this systems and 
implementations is:

---

   independence

---

e.g.

1. Platform independence (be it Windows, Linux, UNIX, BSD, Mac, ...)

2. Programming language independence (be it Delphi, Java, C++, C#, 
Visual Basic.NET, ...)

3. Component independence (COM, ...)

4. Network, data transport, and programming language independence 
(CORBA, DCOM, SOAP, ...)

5. Data independence (XML, ...)

6. Data service independence (UDDI, WSDL, Web services, ...)

7. Database independence (Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, Interbase, 
Sybase, DB2, ...) 

...
