Learn Cross-Platform Programming With Pascal
And save $60!7 November 2012
by Huw Collingbourne
I love Object Pascal. It’s a nice, clear, modern object oriented language. Trouble is, it can be expensive to get into. Embarcadero Software’s commercial Delphi environment for Object Pascal may cost you a few thousand dollars! But there’s an alternative. An it’s free.
Lazarus is a slick visual IDE that lets you design applications by dragging and dropping controls onto a form. You can add code to handle events and run or debug at the click of a button. Lazarus uses the Free Pascal compiler – and it is available for Windows, OS X and Linux. You can write applications on one of these platforms and compile them on another. In my view, this is the easiest way to break into cross-platform application development.
Lazarus makes it easy to design and code an application on Windows…
…then compile and run it on a Mac (or vice versa)!
If you want to learn Lazarus and Object Pascal, where do you begin? Well, I’ve just published a new multimedia programming course on Udemy that will guide you from your very first steps (basic Pascal syntax) right through to the nitty-gritty details of Object Pascal class hierarchies, user-defined types and object-serialization.
I’ve already taught over 2,500 people to program in my top-selling Ruby course on Udemy. I’m even more excited about my Pascal course. This will not only take you into the lucrative world of cross-platform development with Lazarus but it could also be your first step into the high-earning world of commercial development with Delphi.
My Learn Programming With Pascal course has…
Over 40 lectures
Learn Programming With Pascal normally costs $99
You can subscribe for just $39 – that’s a 60% saving
But you’ll need to be quick. This offer is only good until the end of November. To get the complete course at this special price, follow this link:
Happy (cross-platform) programming!
