Sorry if I posted in the wrong list. That's part of the question. I have just found Lazarus/FPC and I am blown away after a life of mainframe and PC VB6 and VB.net. The cross platform and *real* grids for SQL client/server seem to be just dead on from the example apps. Hats off team!
Now, is there a noob listserve or forum? Where do I learn about the bits of Lazarus project and the IDE? IE I use a lot of common code and classes shared from a "globals" folder, etc. Where do I learn includes or external file referrals outside the project folder, etc. I am not looking for the answer; I am looking for someone to point me down the learning path! What I'm trying so poorly to ask is: Is the Lazarus IDE so close to Delphi version "x" that if I got a Delphi version "x" book that it would get me started? Pascal is not the issue. It looks great and I can learn a language. I am talking about learning how to: - Drive the IDE and building good project folders without all copying code files in each folder, etc. - Learn the lingo so as to easily find where the code is behind the event on the control, etc. - Where are database connections and how to modify the connect string, etc. etc. Any guidance greatly appreciated. Keep up the great work. I think you may have a new convert for what that worth. :)
