from what I know Pascal is one of the easiest to learn languages for programming, and Delphi (which is an integrated development environment IDE, with object Pascal or C++ as a language) is one of the easiest and fastest ways to create a Windows application with interface and all (there's also Kylix which can compile your Delphi program for Linux) it does take a little to get used to but if you're into programming it's worth it I started a while back to do real-time 2d/3d graphics with Pascal and Assembler under MS-DOS (I had a Pentium 133MHz) next I switched to Delphi for the interface and other things now I still use Delphi a lot but have passed to OpenGL since using the GPU for 3d is faster than using the CPU
during my PhD I started using C++ with free libraries and editors and it can get pretty ugly to put all your libraries together especially if you want to make a complex application with interface I finally found something that suits me - QtCreator which is an IDE that lets you create portable applications for Windows, Linux, Mac but it's still a little uncomfortable compared to Delphi
anyway if you ever want to start programming in Delphi try some tutorials first and it should be easier - it also depends where you want to go with it
Yes, I heard it is relatively easy... when you are familiarized with programming languages. Delphi was the first one I tried to tackle (all by myself since I was going for an advertising/marketing degree in college) a long time ago and it beat me so hard I stopped trying something I clearly wasn't prepared for but actually helped me understand other languages such as javascript, when I jumped from the advertising wagon to the webdesign field
I love it ... but I'm grossed out by it....
How on earth did you do this....?
Please post more ......
it does take a little to get used to but if you're into programming it's worth it

O_O My mouth is truly agape.
