    No, no, no, you have to start with machine code (in binary) then work your way up to assembler.
    Remember to never split an infinitive. The passive voice should never be used. Do not put statements in the negative form. Proofread carefully to see if you words out. And don't start a sentence with a conjugation. (William Safire)

    Cluey guys. Delphi is a great RAD tool for Windows (and Linux with Kylix) apps and an even better intro to event driven programming, where "events" like mouse clicks, keystrokes etc are processed as they occur, rather than procedural languages that work in a top down sequence. It shields you from all the nasty C and C++ set up code, creates pretty compact executables that run fast enough and has more 3rd party add-ons (and free at that) than you can poke a stick at. It's a helluva lot less confusing than VB, and since it uses Pascal as it's base language, and most Windows APIs use Pascal calling methods, it's fairly intuitive. The in-line help system with the Delphi IDE is fantastic too, as you dont have to trawl through heaps of docs to find a specific functions parameter list.

    If you need some pointers getting started, I'd be glad to help.
