In terms of getting started:<br>
you could start <a href="http://www.marcocantu.com/edelphi/default.htm">here</a><br>
Marco Cantu has other introductory stuff on his website as well as some
great books - however they are not beginner books.<br>
You could also look at the <a href="http://bdn.borland.com/">Borland
Developer Network</a> which has articles, but especially have a look at
the bdntv stuff (movies).<br>
And there is always the faithful <a
href="http://www.google.co.nz/search?hl=en&q=delphi+tutorial&btnG=Google+Search&meta=">oracle
</a>of all wisdom.<br>
<br>
If you don't have yet have a copy of Delphi you can download a free
trial from <a
href="http://www.borland.com/downloads/download_delphi.html">here</a>
you can also get the 2005 personal edition - but Delphi 2005 was a bit
buggy (2006 is great however).<br>
<br>
Other people will probably have other suggestions<br>

Morning.
<br>
<br>
I would like to begin learning Delphi.
<br>
<br>
Pascal was the first language that got me into programming and I expect
<br>
Delphi will be another language that I will enjoy using. I'd just like
<br>
to appeal to the user group to see if anybody has any recommendations
<br>
for someone just beginning with Delphi.
<br>
<br>
Also what do people think of the FPC and Lazarus setup? My main desktop
<br>
machine at home is a dual boot Linux/windows machine but I really
prefer
<br>
to use Linux and I understand that the Kylix ide is no longer being
<br>
supported/developed. Is the Lazarus and FPC combo simular enough to
real
<br>
delphi to allow me to build up some skills that can be crossed between
<br>
or would you really recommend starting with a proper borland delphi???
<br>
<br>
Have fun,
<br>
Ben.
