First Steps

*** This tutorial is work in progress and may change at any time. ***

This training course is still in the process of being made, before it is completed it will no doubt change many times. It will also have more pictures, and downloadable source for any of the applications made during this tutorial..

If you have suggestions or comments, please use the link top right, I appreciate all your comments.

Download and Install Delphi 2005, 2006 or 2007, the trial version can be obtained from Borland or the new *FREE* Turbo explorer at this site

You will need to enter an Email address to get the trial key, entering a false Email may let you download it, but without the key its pointless.

It has a number of prerequisites. This means, things that need doing first. You will need to install - these can be obtained from the download area of Borland.

• Microsoft XML engine
• IE6 SP1
• Microsoft .NET SDK
• Microsoft .NET runtime
• Microsoft .NET J#

Once installed (these things take up a lot of room.), and after you have rebooted no doubt a few times. You will now be ready.
