I've been learning C++ alot lately and would like to learn Delphi/Pascal and I seem to not be able to find anywhere to begin...so does anyone know where I could find a Delphi/Pascal tutorial? And uh...what's Delphi like? Is it as good as C++?

I don't know if it is better or not (i think delphi is better but i never tried c++). It sure is more easy. Once I'll get my hosting i'll have an website where you can check out the programs i do in delphi.

My suggestion is start from a book, which you can search in www.amazon.com. There are many comments for a book. From the comments, you can judge if it is suitable to you.

Delphi is suitable to develop database applications or GUI applications. To develop some system application, such as low level hardware controller, it is better to use c++.

Definitely a book. I prefer the "for dummies" book series, even if you are an experienced programmer at C++. I choose Delphi over C++ because C languages are quite cryptic, while Delphi is not, but is still quite powerful.

If you are not sure that Delphi is right for you, then you can try a few tutorials, and experience the power of Borland Delphi!

You can start off with these links:
about.delphi.com <-- For starters.
www.torry.net <-- For advanced users, but probably has some tutorials too.

Oh ... and one more thing ... if you start programming in Delphi the IDE will seem quite hard at first (many buttons and stuff). Don't be scared. At school I learn the good old fashion Turbo Pascal and that's why I started leaning Delphi.
Even if I can't say I know only half of what Delphi can do I can't tell you that is a poweful language and, more important at this level, very very easy.
It worked great for me. Hope it does for you!

Delphi is much more easier than C++. Also not too hard to learn.

You could look in google.com and there's a section here that talks about programming tool http://asb-sakray.net

Yes. Delphi is very good visual language. Also Delphi's OOP is very powerful. Delphi can usethe API functions as well.

[Erdemir]

Certainly yes. Delphi is as powerful as C++ but as easy, visual as visualbasic. You can write a program on Delphi less then 10 minutes (it depends the program functionalty).
