Ask HN: Trying to Learn Delphi 7
3 points by sinnska on Sept 17, 2016 | hide | past | favorite | 1 comment
Hello,

I was trying to learn Delphi 7, but I can't find any resources on it for learning. I looked at Mastering Delphi 7, but it appears to be not for beginners, I'm not new to programming I have some experience. Does anybody have any resources I can learn from? I don't mind buying a book.



Whenever I run into issues finding good docs for a language, I usually do a few things:

* Use RosettaCode as a source for concepts [0], like for loops.

* Build a project I've built many times, to show the differences. In my case, usually a nREPL, as it's non-trivial (threads, sandboxed eval, ports), but easy if you've done it before.

As for books, I vaguely remember the Cookbook [1] helping me out, but I think it uses .net Delphi.
