Marco Cantù's Essential Delphi – Copyright 1996-2002 Marco Cantù – www.marcocantu.com/edelphi 1 MMARCOARCO CCANTÙANTÙ''SS EESSENTIALSSENTIAL DDELPHIELPHI A Friendly Introductory Guide to Borland Delphi http://www.marcocantu.com/edelphi Copyright 1996-2002 Marco Cantù Revision 1.03 - April 13, 2002 Marco Cantù's Essential Delphi – Copyright 1996-2002 Marco Cantù – www.marcocantu.com/edelphi 2 INTRODUCTION fter the successful publishing of the e-book Essential Pascal (available on my web site at the address http://www.marcocantu.com/epascal), I decided to follow up with an Aintroduction to Delphi. Again most of the material you'll find here was in the first editions of my “printed” book Mastering Delphi, the best selling Delphi book I have written. Due to space constraints and because many Delphi programmers look for more advanced information, in the latest edition this material was completely omitted. To overcome the absence of this information, I have started putting together this second on- line book, titled Essential Delphi. Copyright The text and the source code of this book are copyrighted by Marco Cantù. Of course, you can use the programs and adapt them to your own needs with no limitation, only you are not allowed to use them in books, training material, and other copyrighted formats without my permission (or in case you are using limited portions, referring to the original). Feel free to link your site with this one, but please do not duplicate the material (on your web site, on a CD) as it is subject to frequent changes and updates. Passing a copy to a friend, occasionally, is certainly something you can do if you do not modify it in any way. You can print out this book both for personal use and for non-profit training (user-groups, schools, and universities are free to distribute a printed versions as long as they don’t charge more than the printing costs and make it clear that this material is freely available, referring readers to the Essential Delphi web site (http://www.marcocantu.com/edelphi) for updates. Book Structure The book structure is still under development, as the book evolves. This is the current structure: Chapter 1: A Form is a Window: Chapter 2: Highlights of the Delphi Environment: Chapter 3: The Object Repository and the Delphi Wizards: Chapter 4: A Tour of the Basic Components Chapter 5: Creating and Handling Menus [ some figures still missing ] Chapter 6: Multimedia Fun [ all figures missing ] Planned chapters: Chapter 7: Exploring Forms Chapter 8: Delphi Database 101 Chapter 9: Reporting Basics Marco Cantù's Essential Delphi – Copyright 1996-2002 Marco Cantù – www.marcocantu.com/edelphi 3 Source Code The source code of all the examples mentioned in the book is available on the book web site. The code has the same Copyright as the book: Feel free to use it at will but don't publish it on other documents or site. Links back to this site are welcome. Feedback Please let me know of any errors you find (indicating revision number and page number), but also of topics not clear enough for a beginner. I'll be able to devote time to the project depending also on the feedback I receive. Let me know also which other topics (not covered in Mastering Delphi) you'd like to see here. For reporting errors please use the books section of my newsgroup, as described on www.marcocantu.com or use my mailbox (which gets far too jammed) at [email protected]. Acknowledgments I have first started thinking about on-line publishing after Bruce Eckel's experience with Thinking in Java. I'm a friend of Bruce and think he really did a great job with that book and few others. After the overwhelming response of the "Essential Pascal" book, I started this new one and plan releasing the two as a printed book introducing Delphi (the only problem being to find a publisher). About the Author Marco Cantù lives in Piacenza, Italy. After writing C++ and Object Windows Library books and articles, he delved into Delphi programming. He is the author of the Mastering Delphi book series, published by Sybex, as well as the advanced Delphi Developers Handbook. He writes articles for many magazines, including The Delphi Magazine, speaks at Delphi and Borland conferences around the world, and teaches Delphi classes at basic and advanced levels. More recently, he's specializing in XML technologies, still making most of his programming in Delphi. Of course, you can learn more details about Marco and his work by visiting his web site, www.marcocantu.com. Donations I'll probably set up an account on one of those donation/contribution systems, to let people who have enjoyed the book and learned from it, particularly if programming is their job (and not a hobby) and they do it for profit, contribute to its development. No extra material is offered to those donating to the book fund, only because I want to let anyone (particularly students and people leaving in poor countries) benefit from the availability of this material. Information will be available on the book web site.

    MELT a Translated Domain Specific Language Embedded in the GCC

    MELT a Translated Domain Specific Language Embedded in the GCC Compiler Basile STARYNKEVITCH CEA, LIST Software Safety Laboratory, boˆıte courrier 94, 91191 GIF/YVETTE CEDEX, France [email protected] [email protected] The GCC free compiler is a very large software, compiling source in several languages for many targets on various systems. It can be extended by plugins, which may take advantage of its power to provide extra specific functionality (warnings, optimizations, source refactoring or navigation) by processing various GCC internal representations (Gimple, Tree, ...). Writing plugins in C is a complex and time-consuming task, but customizing GCC by using an existing scripting language inside is impractical. We describe MELT, a specific Lisp-like DSL which fits well into existing GCC technology and offers high-level features (functional, object or reflexive programming, pattern matching). MELT is translated to C fitted for GCC internals and provides various features to facilitate this. This work shows that even huge, legacy, software can be a posteriori extended by specifically tailored and translated high-level DSLs. 1 Introduction GCC1 is an industrial-strength free compiler for many source languages (C, C++, Ada, Objective C, Fortran, Go, ...), targetting about 30 different machine architectures, and supported on many operating systems. Its source code size is huge (4.296MLOC2 for GCC 4.6.0), heterogenous, and still increasing by 6% annually 3. It has no single main architect and hundreds of (mostly full-time) contributors, who follow strict social rules 4. 1.1 The powerful GCC legacy The several GCC [8] front-ends (parsing C, C++, Go .

  • Why Is Borland Moving Towards Eclipse? by Mike Rozlog of Borland

    Why Is Borland Moving Towards Eclipse? by Mike Rozlog of Borland

    Why is Borland Moving Towards Eclipse? by Mike Rozlog of Borland It is normally bad practice to answer a question with a question, but read the article and find out why it is the perfect time to ask the following question. What is development? This is one of the most important questions being asked at Borland. Development as defined by the dictionary states: it is a noun that has synonyms including evolution, augmentation, and maturation. Taking the definition of development and its synonyms and applying them to the question of "Why is Borland moving towards Eclipse?" reveals answers that many people may not have thought about. First, it is always important to understand the history behind a current position. Take for example an auto race. Usually the winner is not the person that initially leads from the starting position; it is a person who has made important adjustments throughout the race to put them into the best position to win. Now, this is not to say that a poleleader can not win the race, it just means they have to make other adjustments throughout the race to also put themselves into a position of winning it. Understanding that analogy, it is no wonder why Borland is going to start to use Eclipse as a customer facing technology. Keep in mind that Eclipse is not just a JBuilder issue at Borland; it will be used in various areas that have interaction with the customer. However, it is important to understand the background of JBuilder and put it into perspective of why it has been very important over the years, for supporting the Java platform.

All material in this report which is not our own work has been identified and no material is included for which a degree has previously been conferred. Approved 080603 Advisor: Donald F. Ross Examiner: Martin Blom iii Abstract This dissertation describes the process of converting an application from Visual Basic to a .NET programming language. This work was carried out on behalf of The Prevas Company [0] based in Karlstad, Sweden. Prevas provides IT solutions and industrial systems for several world leading companies such as Ericsson, Nokia, Siemens and many others. The objective behind the conversion of this application was to facilitate a more compatible and flexible option suitable for the other products using the .NET environment. In addition, Prevas felt that the Visual Basic 6 environment had grown rather old and outdated. The task was therefore to convert the source code from Visual basic 6 to .NET language and to determine the most efficient method for the conversion. The outcome of this project was to achieve a fully converted application using the .NET framework with its original functionality intact.
