Delphi Programming Tutorial - Lesson 1: Getting Started with Delphi Programming

Delphi Programming Tutorial - Lesson 1: Getting Started with Delphi Programming:

Whether you’re just a beginner or whether you are expanding your skill set in Delphi programming, you now have access to many hours of easy-to-understand, concise video tutorials and hands on exercises to learn Delphi programming.

These tutorials are designed with school-going students (teenagers) in mind, but anybody interested in pursuing a programming career can benefit from our courses. Learners find our online video courses fun to watch and easy to understand.

The popularity of our Delphi programming e-learning courses is literally growing by the day. Grade 10 to 12 scholars currently enrolled in the program acknowledge the program as a first of its kind on the Internet.

Furthermore, our learners enjoy the convenience of having animated, visual tutorials that not only guide them towards success but also help them take responsibility for implementing, coordinating and managing their learning efforts.
With our online Delphi courses, you never have to match your schedule with that of an extra-class teacher. You can do our courses where ever and whenever you want – at your own pace and convenience!

Our tutorials are designed to optimise your learning experience. You will not only follow theoretical video tutorials – these courses are also packed with demonstrations and practices to enforce your knowledge and skills. You also get excellent tips and tricks to save you time and prepare you for exams and school assignments!

Even teachers find our courses very helpful. If you are a programming teacher, we are also looking forward to adding your name and the names of your learners to our ever-growing list of satisfied users.

In this tutorial (Learn Delphi Programming - Lesson 1: Getting Started with Delphi Programming), I introduce myself as your instructor and I tell you a little about myself as well as my programming and teaching experience. I also explain to you what you, as a beginner Delphi programmer, will learn in these Delphi videos, how to find the resources to getting started with Delphi programming, and how to use these lessons to optimise your learning experience.

In these videos I'm doing my demonstrations using Delphi 7, but since we are merely covering the fundamentals of Delphi programming, all the concepts you learn in these videos will be valid for later versions of Delphi too.

I tell you where you can find your own version of Delphi, but I also show you where you can find a free programming tool called Lazarus to do these lessons.

I want to thank everybody that participated in these discussions - also to subscribers that sent "thank you's" and words of encouragement. I'm a full-time Microsoft Certified Trainer at an IT college during the day, where I teach various programming languages and software development technologies. So, I only develop these videos lessons after-hours and in my free time - sometimes well into the night and early-morning hours.
YOUR words of appreciation and encouragement is what is driving me to want to continue with this service. YOU are the reason why I enjoy sharing my knowledge and skills - and for that, I THANK YOU!
