There is currently a very large number of programming environments on the market. Newcomers often struggle to know where to begin their adventure with programming. For such people, Delphi – the descendant of the famous Turbo Pascal – is the ideal choice. It is the easiest programming tool to master and, at the same time, the most efficient.
Delphi is recommended for beginner programmers because it is built on a simple, logical and easy-to-learn programming language – Pascal, which has been considerably extended in Delphi and is called Object Pascal. This book is an introduction to programming in this environment. The author has concentrated on basic topics such as:
- the most important statements controlling the flow of a program,
- a description of the Delphi 7 programming environment,
- graphics and sound programming,
- a description of the most important components,
- advanced topics such as exception handling, classes, INI files and the Windows registry.
Particular attention should be paid to the subsection devoted to printing, which examines this difficult subject in depth and is very rarely covered in other books. It is also worth noting the tenth chapter, which describes how to use the DelphiX package, which makes it easier to create games in Delphi under DirectX.
The CD-ROM supplied with the book contains examples prepared by the author, as well as the Delphi 8 Architect Trial program, made available by Borland.
