How did you learn delphi?
What resources did you use and what inspired you?
Most thankful for replies.!

If you know algorithm design and problem solving using it, learning a new language just needs a couple of weeks. And to learn a new language, the best thing is a good book and practice.

Try these:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0201708442/qid%3D1065918280/sr%3D11-1/ref%3Dsr%5F11%5F1/102-1409087-5184110

However, Delphi is Changing to Delphi.NET. http://bdn.borland.com/article/0,1410,29952,00.html

So alot of things will change.
Win32 APIs will not work. All current win32 components will not work either. Linux is not supported..etc.

However, again, whatever knowledge you gain will help, in any paltform too! Smile

Good Luck
