I've written dozens of programs in Turbo Pascal 5.0 over many years, and could probably do it in my sleep. But it appears that if I'm ever going to write anything that can be run in Windows, I need to learn object oriented programming. I tried to use Delphi recently but floundered. I bought the book Delphi in a Nutshell but it was no use (it says in it that a basic knowledge of object-oriented programming is needed).<br />

Can anyone recommend an appropriate text?

Introduction to object-oriented programming

Delphi is the most powerful Object Pascal IDE and component library for cross-platform Native App Development with flexible Cloud services and broad IoT connectivity. It provides powerful VCL controls for Windows 10 and enables FMX development for Windows, Mac and Mobile. Delphi is your choice for ultrafast Enterprise Strong Development™. Look for increased memory for large projects, extended multi-monitor support, improved Object Inspector and much more. Delphi is 5x faster for development and deployment across multiple desktop, mobile, cloud and database platforms including 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 10.

Delphi

Programming includes both the specifics of the language you’re using, like Visual Basic, .NET, Java and others, but also the best practices in user experience and interfaces and the management of projects, version control and development. Other programming topics are related to web and cloud development and system and hardware programming.
