Topic: Programming Language to Study?

Hello,

What programming language is MVD based off?
I'm planning on getting some video tutorials on Udemy in order to
incorporate on my projects in  MVD.

I'm fairly new to programming and only have taken programming logic in school.
This kind of gives you an idea where my level of knowledge is in  programming.

I've read someone mentioning Pascal Programming but not too sure if that's what
I should study...

What do you recommend?

thank you,
Heriberto

Hello Heribertom6466

MVD uses Pascal language (Delphi).
It is written with Delphi RAD XE 3 (Embarcadero).

The Pascal language, if it is relatively easy to use,  still requires to have a certain level of programming in this language.
(Concept of loop, management of dates, databases, etc.).

On the web, you will find sites offering training on this language,
But the MVD forum is full of examples in this language.
And you will always be able to compile on a hand of the experienced MVD users (some are former programmers (Delphi or other languages).

And as I always say (and I already said when I was developing), everything starts with a pencil and a sheet of paper (not to mention a coffee maker).
In addition I used systematically the pseudo code to understand where I had to arrive in my projects.

Good luck with MVD is really a great tool that will become indispensable when many other functions have been implemented.

Hello jean.brezhonek,

You just reminded me of Raptor - Flowchart Interpreter  when you mentioned pseudo code. It was a challenge learning the
the pseudo code when there where many ways to implement a working system into a software. After 11 weeks working with Raptor software I still struggled... :-)

I greatly appreciate the thorough information on MVD programming this will lead me the right direction.

again, Thank you!

Hello Heriberto

Without wanting to make permanent use of the pseudo code, it sometimes serves me to lighten the final code.
Exemple :

If I do this in such a condition then x cases may occur
Case 1: I do this
Case 2 I do this

Have you already programmed in Pascal?
If so, it will help you a lot to use MVD.

And about SQL ? Any knowledges ?

Already to have a better overview on the use of MVD, consult the book made by Dmitry. It will be a very useful starting point.

Hello jean.brezhonek, Dmitriy

I've been watching some Pascal programming video Tutorials and got to say I have lots to learn!
Thanks for the plethora of information on Pascal programming this is very useful information!

Although I will start with baby step :-)

I greatly appreciate your insight and professional advice.

Thank you,
Heriberto
