[DUG] Delphi Starter Edition

[Jeremy North]

App Inventor looks nice and is fine for 10 year olds that don't know
how to program and want to start. If you know what you are doing it is
a mess that takes ages.

Use eclipse and go through the tutorials. The biggest issue you'll
have is working out which classes reside in which files and what the
class is called for something you want to do.
