New To Delphi - Want a Right Direction
-
hello guys... I was planning to learn a little about Delphi. With a little research , I could just figure out that - There is no Delphi Platform for Delphi Development similar to VC# 2010 Express Edition for C# Development. There is this Embercadero RAD Studio but it is a 30-Day trial and after that, we have to buy it. So what's the starting point and which book (or any online tutorial) you would suggest. Thanks for any heading.
This world is going to explode due to international politics, SOON.

Hi, Welcome to Delphi community. If you want to be familiar the language first, there are some other pascal compilers available. but I would suggest you use this Embercadero RAD Studio, so that you can play around with Delphi language, IDE, VCL, etc. And you can also access to its big source code depository. You will learn a lot from it. As for books. I don't have any for recommendation. (unless you want to do some COM programming in Delphi :)) Official web site has some tutorials to begin with. RAD Documentation is also a good place to visit for both references and tutorials. These two web sites are good for references too, Delphi Basics and Delphi About. Some contents are old, but 99% are good. Dr.Bob is also neat resource. Last, don't forget here if you have any problem.

Thanks for the reply. But that's what I was talking about. It is not free. I mean for beginners, is there no solid platform where I can learn at least basic GUI programming?

My suggestion would be the same, since Embercadero Delphi is the only reliable IDE for GUI programming in Delphi, from my point of view. You could ask for an academic license if you are qualified. CodeGear Academic Program[^] Let me know how it goes.

The two most-used resources in my Delphi-days where undu.com[^] and Torry.ru[^].

Hi Hi, As mentioned by Eddy, a good place (if you just want to learn and play around with Delphi - or more specifically Pascal) to look at would be Lazarus, which uses FreePascal. It will get you on the right path and has the added benefit of being cross-platform as well.. Hope that helps :)

Look at this site - [^]. This has a lot of information on Delphi, including the essential Pascal which you need to learn.
