 Delphi Basics
 
 Delphi Basics supplies reference up to release XE1

 This web site provides help and reference for the fundamentals of the Delphi© language. It gives an introduction to the Delphi Object Oriented Language for newcomers, and provides a ready reference for experienced programmers.

It limits itself to a broad base of the language in order to keep things simple and manageable. The approach taken is to present the most useable basics of Delphi Programming in as accessible a manner as possible.

Feel free to contact the author about any aspects of the site. Every effort will be made to respond to all emails received.

New : An independent review of "Learn to program in Pascal", an online course for those starting out on Delphi programming.
