This movie covers two vcl properites in Delphi: Align and Margins. Using these you can control how your forms behave when resized. You can watch the movie here.
In this movie we continue to look at features of SQL, in particular numeric functions and the group by clause. I have also uploaded this movie to youtube. Again I've used a huge font so that it is still readable at 320x240.
In this guide you'll get an introduction to basic SELECT queries. I've used a really large font for the application, I've done this so that I could put the video on YouTube and have people still able to read the SQL statements and results, which you can watch here. I had to speed up the YouTube video to fit it under the 10 minute limit (it's 6% faster).
Here we use VMWare to install FreeDOS onto a virtual machine and install and run Turbo Pascal 5.5 (for those of us who can remember back that far). Click Here to view the movie
In this movie we continue with our customer application. Here we actually write some code to add three features
