Early on I learned Turbo Pascal, which was a huge step up from the Basic and Batch Fileprogramming I cut mywhitening on. When Delphi came along I thought it was brilliant and fell in love immediately. I had no interest in learning other programming languages or tools. Delphi did it all, and that was great. I found myself plenty of work and enough to keep my interest.
I was curious…

Learning tasks and motivation
When teaching programming skills, especially with C++, one of the main issue is the selection of right examples and tasks. C++ is not that easy both in syntax, and concepts, and sostudents are demotivated just by the number of pages in the book. The true motive when studying a complicated discipline is the seeing the progress not in just…
