Hi,

Expand Post »

Hi, I'm new to this forum and am only 11. I know I'm a little too young to do complicated programs in Delphi an Pascal, but I have joined a programming club at my school and already I feel I've done quite a bit of programs. But the programming club is only on Thursdays and I'm bored, so please could you get me started and give me a few tips/codes/tutorial links.

Thanks,

Cheat King

Re: Hi,

i joined when i was 13/14 (im 16 now)

i was like you, i could kinda do vb and pascal and now i study computing at college

Umm best bet is a book - beware as some are really in depth

do you have any programming software already?

if you have Visual basic 6 i can give you loads of stuff (im studying it at college)

Re: Hi,

visual basic is liek pascal but easier:

e.g

Pascal and Delphi Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
 
private sub command1_click
 
dim name as string
 
name=inputbox("Enter name:")
msgbox "Welcome &name& "
 
end sub
 
private sub command1_click
 
dim name as string
 
name=inputbox("Enter name:")
msgbox "Welcome &name& "
 
end sub

Re: Hi,

VB is good for learning, but don't get too caught up programming in it. I started programming at 11, and now I'm 20. It took me a long time (>2 years) to realise there was more out there than VB, and that I was using it for (mostly) the wrong things.

You will find though; if you can pick up one language, it's quite easy to move onto another. I'd suggest Java if you want something as simple as VB but with a better structure, and C++ if you want to learn loads. I never finished learning C++.

Delphi's a nice thing but the syntax is strange (similar to VB) when compared to other Object-Orientated languages.

What sort of things do you want to program?

Re: Hi,

Delphi is a good place to start, it isn't the trendiest language around nowerdays but it teaches you good habbits and is extremely powerful and flexible. This chap has a very good guide and set of tutorials.

I have been using Ruby for the last two years or so and have not looked back. You can try it instantly, online here. Ruby is open and free.

Re: Hi,

At the programming club, we have only done programs with one form and no next button, I was just wondering if you know how to do multiple windows,

Thanks in advance,
