Synopsis

Learn Object Pascal with Delphi provides an introduction to the popular programming language that is used as the basis for many computer science programs and a wide range of professional software development projects. The book is organized around specific programming skills, such as defining constants, creating variables, declaring types, making decisions, looping, encapsulating routines into procedures, using arrays and records, and handling files.

Among the elements that make this book perfect for beginning Delphi developers are Quick Check review questions to reinforce new concepts; Test Your Knowledge exercises for trying out newfound skills; and an appendix listing Object Pascal’s reserved words.

The companion CD-ROM puts you to work immediately with the complete Delphi 5.0 Standard Edition compiler ready for installation. The CD also contains the complete source code for all of the examples; trial versions of GLAD components; and a trial version of the UIL Security System from Unlimited Intelligence Limited.
