Vince, I am not quite sure how to respond to a posting, if I havn't done it correctly, sorry, ignorance sounds so much better than 'stupidity'. Vince, this is just a personal opinion but you may find this forum a little 'choppy' to pick up general and structural knowledge from. I would recommend the Lazarus Manual for a reasonable structure and it seems to be quite complete. I have been heavily into Kylix for the past number of years and the IDE for Lazarus seems to be more reliable and the compatibility to Kylix is also excellent, from my experience. Using that logic, any book on Kylix would probably put the 'structure' would also help in using Lazarus. My only additional comment would pick the database you plan on using and stick to it, mysql seems to be the most used, but I don't want to start a fight with any of the others, I took my poll made my decision and like the decision so far, but that is just me. Try to jump into development with a short, real problem that will teach you the most for the least code, have a few glasses of wine, with dinner. Then the next day, decide what you learned. I haven't doubted for a day I made the correct choice, first with Delphi, then Kylix and now Lazarus, good luck. John A.

[Lazarus] Lazarus Release Candidate 1 of 1.4
The Lazarus team would like to announce the first release candidate for the upcoming Version 1.4. We would like to invite all users to test this release candidate. Please read below why everybody really should join the testing now. News in this Version http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Lazarus_1.4.0_release_notes On Windows the installer now allows 2 independent installations. http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Multiple_Lazarus#Installation_of_multiple_Lazarus About the release process: http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Lazarus_1.4_fixes_branch#Roadmap_to_1.4 The 1.4RC1 is built with fpc 2.6.4. The release candidate is available for download on SourceForge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/lazarus/files/ Choose your CPU, OS, distro and then the Lazarus 1.4RC1 directory. Minimum requirements: Windows: 98, 2k, XP, Vista, 7, 32 or 64bit. On 64bit it is recommended to use the 32bit IDE. Win98 IDE needs building with flag -dWIN9XPLATFORM. FreeBSD/Linux: gtk 2.8 or qt4.5, 32 or 64bit. Mac OS X: 10.5 to 10.10, 10.9+ without IDE debugger (gdb works), LCL only 32bit, non LCL apps can be 64bit. == Why should everybody (including you) test the release candidate? == In the past weeks the Lazarus team has stabilized the 1.4 fixes branch. The resulting 1.4RC1 is now stable enough to be used by any one for test purposes. However many of the fixes and new features that where committed since the release of 1.2 required changes to the code of existing features too. While we have tested those ourself, there may still be problems that only occur with very specific configurations or one project in a million. Yes, it may be that you are the only person with a project, that will not work in the new IDE. So if you do not test, we can not fix it. Please do not wait for the final release, in order to test. It may be too late. Once the release is out we will have to be more selective about which fixes can be merged for further 1.4.x releases. So it may be, that we can not merge the fix you require. And then you will miss out on all the new features. == How to test == Download and install the 1.4RC1. - On Windows you can install as a 2ndary install, that will not affect your current install: http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Multiple_Lazarus#Installation_of_multiple_Lazarus - On other platforms, if you install to a new location you need to use --primary-config-path In either case you should make backups. (including your primary config) Open your project in the current Lazarus (1.2.6), and use Publish Project from the project menu. This creates a clean copy of your project. You can then open that copy in the RC1. Please test: - If you can edit forms in the designer - rename components / change properties in Object inspector / Add new events - Add components to form / Move components on form - Frames, if you use them - If you can navigate the source code (e.g. jump to implementation) - Auto completion in source code - Compile, debug and run - Anything else you use in your daily work Mattias -- ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
