Referring to this question, it might be nice to collect links to sites that really help Delphi beginners.
The first answer pointed to Delphi Basics, which is a really nice site.
But there must be more.
So: please contribute to this community wiki question.
A Beginner's Guide to Delphi Programming (at http://delphi.about.com)
on-line version of Teach Yourself Borland Delphi 4 in 21 Days (still very relevant)
Learn To Program Delphi Part One (at http://www.bitwisemag.com)
Essential Pascal (at http://www.marcocantu.com/epascal/)
What about this ?
Delphi wiki
Delphi.wikia.com has a Delphi Videos link that was great for me when I was first learning Delphi.
Nick Hodges 30 Camtasia Demos are great.
Alister Christie has great videos as well.
In German language:
http://www.delphi-treff.de/
In Dutch language

In this thread: "Where are all the Delphi Developers?" you can find a lot of resources, Webs, forums, links,... where you can get help and information to start with Delphi.
There are actually 2 quite good Embarcadero sites that I sometime use.
http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/en/Main_Page
http://channel-e.embarcadero.com/
Hope they help
This guy makes videos, I have had use of them myself:

EDIT: Did not see anyone already posted that, sorry :P
The Delphi Foundations book by Chris Rolliston is very good also.
Lots of recent links to resources, including free training and Starter Editions:

I recently watched great google talks speech about Cling - C++ language interpreter. But I wonder if anyone except people at CERN (where it is developed) are using Cling, and how good it is from non-collider-physics-scientist point of view, can you write desktop apps with it?
There are some videos of uses cases different from the High Energy Physics: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=cling+c%2B%2B (I think first couple are the relevant ones)
It has the potential to be very useful, but it is very young. There is no documentation that I could find, no dedicated mailing list, no online tutorials. I was able to get small toy code to run, but couldn't figure out how to use it productively on a large library yet.
Cling project is well established one. You can find more information in their official website cling. They also have a forum
Thanks
I think to start using Indy to replace the old and deprecated TSocket delphi component.
Indy seems to be a very rich collection of components but I have found no good documentation about it.
The only docs I found are both old or empty template without usefull info .
Can someone tell me where can I found some good documentation abou Indy 10 ?
Regards, Enzo
the documentation for Indy is all here: http://www.indyproject.org/sockets/docs/index.en.aspx
in some cases it's less than detailed enough, but developers of indy do answer questions on stackoverflow ;-)
I tried this myself some time ago - I still use TServerSocket and TClientSocket although you have to install them yourself. I struggled to find documentation also, but I did come across a lot of info for Indy sockets (enough to convince me to stick with TSockets anyway) on the embarcadero developer forums when considering the same path that you are now intending to take (I am assuming you have access to these if you are using c++Builder-XE like myself, so maybe try there if you have no luck here).
Really hoping someone here will be able to help me. I am wanting to automate my applications and Open Office.
Can anyone point me in the correct direction? There is mountains of information out there for Microsoft Office Automation but barely anything on Open Office.
I hope someone can recommend a good set of components to purchase or perhaps some good libraries to include in my projects that will make automation easier.
Any help would be appreciated!
Kind Regards
Donovan
There are quite a lot examples around. In the UNO OpenOffice Project, there are some samples also for Delphi. The samples for other languages are also helpfull, because the systematic of UNO (which is the API of OpenOffice also over COM) is a bit complicated.
There is also a forum with some Delphi-Code: http://www.oooforum.org/forum/
There are some Tools and Constanst and Example Units, this is a very good starting point: http://www.koders.com/delphi/fidB69083385CA27692654E24A4FBC81ED2AC516B49.aspx?s=ftp#L63
I have quite a lot of code for that task, but it is too much to post it here (sorry) and it is included in a very big application.
you can start by checking out the UNO OpenOffice automation project: http://udk.openoffice.org/
There was also a Sun Microsystems initiative called ODF Toolkit, but it never took off.
I have started working on Corona SDK.As you all know it uses Lua as the programming language,i wanted to know some good links or ebooks which i can refer to begin development.I am an iPhone developer and working on objective C since last 1 year.
Any suggestions,help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I've been using this: Programming in Lua, first edition (FREE online edition of the book)
The Corona SDK forums are also good for specific issues related to the SDk itself. It seems it is having a few database problems just right now, but you might want to check it later.
Edit: just for completeness, here is the link to the Lua Bookstore # amazon (not an affiliate link).
You can also check out http://learningcorona.com/ which has a huge listing of tutorials for Corona.
Here's a great resource for learning Lua, it's aimed towards beginner programmers (doesn't sound like you), but it does a great job at introducing Lua and most of the basic concepts:
Lua for Beginners:
http://lua.gts-stolberg.de/en/index.php?uml=1
That, as well as the "Learning Corona" section of the Ansca docs should be plenty enough to get you up to speed in a very short amount of time:
http://developer.anscamobile.com/resources/docs/
TIP: Start working on a project, or converting an existing app using Corona and you'll learn it blazing fast! That's what I did, and I learned it quickly enough to have one of my games fully converted in about 8 days.
For understanding basics of CORONA SDK I will prefer "Corona.SDK.Mobile.Game.Development.Beginners.Guide"
book from Packtpub publication.
and You can also check out http://www.learningcorona.com/ for tutorial both video and audio.
The Lua Reference Manual is also an excellent read: Concise and complete.
Lua Gems is also worth looking at (at least the freely available snippets).
I found the Beginning Lua Programming book to be pretty good as a complete reference for Lua with good example code.
My very personal advice is just take a look at great books (Programming in LUA is covering everything) and switch as soon as possibles to samples / tutorials in order to learn all the API functions.
There are several Corona sdk video tutorials on YouTube. One demonstrates how to create a simple balloon game in a few minutes. You can have Your Lua editor in one window and YouTube in another, and click on the video to start/stop and switch to the editor and type in the code. Some tutorials provide links to download the code.
hello you can use their website they have good documentation you will find it here
http://docs.coronalabs.com/api/
Where can I find the documentation for IdocScript for Stellent/Oracle UCM? I just got assigned to do maintenance on a page that uses it, and have no prior experience with either Stellent or the script. My specific problem has to do with string manipulation, but I can hardly find any documentation online at all, odd for a programming-related topic.
If you are after a book, there is the one by Brian Huff (Bex - http://bexhuff.com/) linked below.
Actually it is the only one. Written before Oracle bought Stellent and may be a missing some IDOC changes.
As a resourse tho it is very handy to have around as it touches on all things UCM (including a decent chunk on IDOC).
The Definitive Guide to Stellent Content Server Development
~ Brian Huff
Of course I answered my own question 15 minutes after I asked it. Oracle has a guide buried deep in its documentation website. It's available as a PDF or in HTML format (thanks, Raystorm).
