Yes, therefore start with simple procedural (console) programs that let them have immediate success with all the elementary things that a program consists of (variables/types, loops, commands, etc.). If that is understood you can switch to GUI applications. If you do it the other way round you only delay the date of frustration but you do not avoid it. -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org http://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus
