Delphi
developers wanting to learn how to: Quickly create robust applications
employing modern interfaces; Interface to the internet; Control
other applications; Take advantage of OOP to reduce development
time and increase stability.
This
second level Delphi course is aimed at Delphi developers comfortable
with the basics.
Delphi Versions 5 or 6
The course
starts with a thorough coverage of modern GUIs, showing how to
use 95/98/W2K controls, sound, video, graphics, & Explorer-style
interfaces. The course continues with a thorough and in-depth
coverage of object oriented programming - the key to quickly developing
robust applications, & to creating your own components.
COM automation is discussed in detail and you will see how to
control other Windows applications.
The Windows API is also covered in detail and you will see how
Delphi's VCL handles and dispatches messages, how to intercept
messages, and how to directly call functions from the Windows
API.
