Building Applications in Delphi Using the Visual Component Library - Part 2

The fastest way to learn Delphi just got better!

Yes, that's right, it's back, it's better, it's part 2. This video continues from where we left off in Part 1.  We continue to examine the Visual Component Library, enhance our Periodic Table, write a couple of new periodic tables (using a TGridPanel and TPaintBox) and look at how Drag and Dock works.  

Your video has been a lifesaver for me. I am a developer of software applications built in Delphi and knew nothing of Delphi before I came here. I purchased the video just a short while ago and I can tell you that I wish I had this when I first started here. The benefits of knowing the component library are just as equally important as learning the logic of Delphi. If you can learn the components, you can learn the logic as I feel they go hand in hand. This video series is really invaluable to me and I recommend it to everyone here at the office.
