Question

Can anyone recommend some decent resources for a .NET developer who wishes to get a high level overview of the Delphi Programming Language?

We are about acquire a small business whose main product is developed in Delphi and I am wanting to build up enough knowledge to be able to talk the talk with them.

Books, websites etc all appreciated.

Thanks.

Answer 1

• DelphiBasics gives a good overview of basic syntax, library functions etc.
• Essential Delphi is a free e-book by Marco Cantu that should give a good overview, also of the VCL

Feel free to ask around here as well, or in the Delphi newsgroups, if you encounter specific issues 🙂

[edit] @Martin:

• There’s a free ‘Turbo’ edition available at the Codegear/Embarcadero website. I guess it has some limitations, so you could also try downloading the trial version.
