 |
|
I've seen this (old) book called "From Pascal to Modula2".
So I'm looking for some similar resource e.g. like "From C++ to Delphi"
which explains Delphi in kind of c/unix jargon, comparing Delphi and C++
mechanisms.
Anyone having a link to something that
could be useful ?

C++ is quite incompatible with the Delphi class model. This is why it's quite
useless to describe the differences in C++ terms, because almost no C++ user
will know how C++ works under the hood.
IMO it's best to forget about C++ or other OO languages, and to start with an
appropriate Delphi book. It's good to have an idea of methods and properties in
general, but forget everything you believe to know about constructors,
destructors and virtual methods.
The Delphi types, including Class, String, and Array, are easier to handle than
their C++ equivalents, but sometimes have their own problems, different from
the C++ problems of the same types.
I found "Delphi in a Nutshell" (by Ray Lischner, in O'Reilly) quite useful for
newbies with some programming background in other languages. This book
describes the differences from other languages in summary, but not in detail,
and it describes the features of Delphi in a quite compact way. The "language
reference" section in fact describes the Delphi runtime library, which is quite
different from the C/C++ standard libraries. I don't know about new editions,
the first one dates from 2000 and has ISBN 1-56592-659-5.

DoDi/VBDis - you are that guy with the Visual Basic reverse engineering
tool?

Yes, I am :-)
BTW, please restrict your quotes to what you really refer to.
