Introduction To The Lazarus Ide - Visual Progr. Environment

The course consists of two parts: Introduction to Lazarus IDE and Working with Databases in Lazarus IDE

What you'll learn

I'm a computer engineer and the author of two computer books for beginners, one of which is Introduction to the Lazarus IDE, on which this course is based.

I hope that in about a month you will master working with Lazarud IDE to an acceptable level.

Risks in this course - None! At worst, you will at least understand how to create computer programs quickly and easily.

The course is systematized and consists of about 30 video lessons with many examples.

There are no roles here. The course is led by me - computer engineer-master Lazar Hristov.

Requirements

The course is suitable for absolute beginners who have never programmed before. The only requirements are to have a computer and a desire to learn! Lazarus is a visual programming environment, and visual programming is like an exciting game and fun!

The course is also suitable for people who are familiar with the Delphi programming environment, because Lazarus IDE is very similar to it. If you are familiar with the Pascal programming language - it will also be easier for you, because the Object Pascal language is used here

In this course we will not focus on programming! Although there are programs with more complex code in it! But here in this course we will focus on working with this amazing visual environment Lazarus IDE and on creating interesting and useful programs with it. We have paid special attention to working with databases in Lazarus IDE - a very useful and important topic, about which there is almost no information on the Internet!

Description

The course "Introduction to Lazarus IDE" based on the author's book of the same name is a unique course for learners, which explains in a simple and accessible language how to enter and start working with this interesting and wonderful visual programming environment Lazarus IDE. Lazarus IDE is used to develop and create computer programs/applications. It is cross-platform, can run on different operating systems: Windows, Linux, Mac… And most importantly for you - it is completely free and open source! Lazarus IDE is a free analogue of the Delphi programming environment, using the Object Pascal language. It has been developed for more than 25 years and is constantly evolving and improving. The author of the course Lazar Hristov is a computer engineer - master, who has been studying Lazarus IDE for many years. The course consists of two parts: Introduction to Lazarus IDE Working with databases in Lazarus IDE The course "Introduction to Lazarus IDE" - is suitable for different types of people: for complete beginners who have not even heard of these things for people who have tried some of the technologies shown, but their knowledge is partial, incomplete and unsystematic for students and schoolchildren who are just starting to study this subject for intermediates - mainly in the chapter on working with databasesThe course is divided into 14 chapters. Everything in it is explained very well, clearly and in detail. As everywhere, the author has also given practical examples, which greatly facilitates understanding and assimilation of the material. p.s. You can download the examples from the book from the author's website: lazarus.bg-lazarus(If there is a problem with the download - write to the contact form on the Contacts page)
