DELPHI Tutorial Course - Felix J COLIBRI.



Delphi: the programming efficiency

Delphi is a visual programming tool allowing us to instantaneously build Windows Applications complete with dialogs, menus, listboxes etc. The very first steps are quite intuitive, but it allows to gradually harness the full power of the Windows environment.



The course's objectives

The purpose of this training course is to present all the techniques offered by Delphi to build Windows applications. Many practical hands on exercises will allow the student to become familiar with the tool.



What you will learn

You will learn to:
  • use Delphi to develop applications under Windows
  • prototype applications in a multi window environment
  • manage event driven programming
  • implement the the visual programming concepts
  • to fully control the functionalities of Delphi


Intended audience

Software developers and programmers wishing to build or integrate applications under Windows. No preliminary knowledge of Windows or Pascal are required.
