Well, AS exams out of the way, so A2s now... - read as: huge great big software dev project.
Basically, whatever the eventual project happens to be (will probably use my mum as the end user, save me thinking of a problem to solve ) I need to eventually code it - including the planning of objects, user interfaces of a high standard and potentially customised objects (this aint gonna be no DOS program).
I have a copy of Delphi 4 standard (free on PC Plus - hooray!), but I am considering buying the microsoft software bundle - J++, C++, VB, etc on student license for £75.
The problem is, I can just about get a functioning program out of Delphi, though the choice of objects is limited. I have tried to work out what to do to create custom objects, but it seems very complex and frankly, confusing.
Can anyone recommend tutorials for Delphi, or whether it is worth investing in the MS bundle, and if so which language is best to develop in from a broad perspective.
If anyone else has experiance of custom object production etc - I'd be really greatful for any help and tips you can offer.
I have a vague idea of some quite flashy objects that would make a truely great interface - but limited by the fact that I can't do them - lol
thanks very much
