If you have never used object pascal before then we strongly suggest that you buy some books that teaches you the basics of the language itself. Like any language there are fundamental principles that are identical across dialects such as procedures, functions, records, classes, data-types and so fourth. Once you have learned these basic principles you will appreciate the unique aspects of our dialect better.


We have been very fortunate to have author and teacher Kevin Bond involved in the product almost from it's inception. And he has written a large and comprehensive book about almost every aspect of Quartex Pascal. This book is authored with students in mind, so it's geared towards SAT curriculum's, which is perfect for beginners and experienced alike. You can visit his website and obtain a copy of his book there.


I would also suggest that you pick up a couple of fundamental Delphi classics:



Dont let the long titles scare you, these are wonderful to read and contains a wealth of knowledge that you will need regardless of language you use.


Note: If you want to purchase other Delphi books, keep in mind that modern Delphi relies heavily on something called generics, which Quartex does not support yet. So to get cracking I would opt for books between Delphi 5 and Delphi 7 to pick up an understanding of the language. You also need to look away from the components and classes demonstrated in those books since our RTL will operate with different names, or lack the components. Quartex deals with web technology not native code after all.


Start with Kevin's book, study the core RTL files to get familiar with the classes, types and enums available - and you will have this licked in no time.
