Hi all -- I'm looking for a book/web recommendation, and thought you might be able to help me. I think of myself as an advanced beginner/intermediate level programmer at this point. I'm beyond the most basic of introductions--I understand variables, loops, and other Pascal/Delphi basics (...although I'm still a little muddled about pointers, linked lists, and recursion :-)
Now I'm looking to learn more. I would guess that if I asked for a recommendation you'd probably suggest something like Cantu or Pacheco. They're great, I'm sure, but I need to know a little more before I can fully appreciate what they have to offer--they're still a bit advanced for me. So I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions. I guess I need to more fully understand somewhat basic things like Delphi's OOP implementation & scope, and I need a formal introduction to the more advanced topics. Before I could, say, understand COM programming in Delphi, I need to understand what COM *is* (I just used that as an example; I have no idea whether I have a particular interest in COM programming). I know I can't be this choosy but, for what it's worth, I work best when given a general idea, then an example, then an assignment to try it myself. Even better would be an online course--but I know that's extremely unlikely ... unless one of you would like to offer such a thing. I'm sure you'd get students :-) Thanks for your thoughts -- Al C. _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list -> [email protected] http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi
