Delphi Basics

Delphi Basics supplies reference up to release XE1

---

This web site provides help and reference for the fundamentals of the DelphiƒD language. It gives an introduction to the Delphi Object Oriented Language for newcomers, and provides a ready reference for experienced programmers.

It limits itself to a broad base of the language in order to keep things simple and manageable. The approach taken is to present the most useable basics of Delphi Programming in as accessible a manner as possible.

The site has run since 2002 but is now static as the author has retired!
