Description
Suitable for the novice programmer, Discover Pascal in Delphi provides a complete and user-friendly introduction to programming in Pascal with the accessible prize-winning programming environment - Delphi. Written to complement the author sprevious book, Discover Delphi, it puts more emphasis on the Pascal language, whilst keeping the enjoyment and fun of programming in the Delphi environment to the fore.
With the aim of teaching the student how to write good, readable code, the authors cover all of the programming fundamentals, before moving on to show how to develop database applications using Delphi components, and other more advanced topics. Comprehensive appendices show how to use Delphi to produce professional Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs), and also summarise the main Pascal constructs for easy reference.
Based on successful courses given by the authors, Discover Pascal in Delphi is an ideal text for novice programmers, and particularly suiting scientists and engineers who wish to learn programming skills in a sympathetic environment.
