Devstructor.com - Lazarus Tutorials and more.. lazarus / 8-Other ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Devstructor · 2016-08-11 17:53 Hi A few days ago I have relaunched my tutorial channel on Youtube and I have started a new website ( http://www.devstructor.com ). My focus has changed to software development with Lazarus and I started a beginner tutorial series. After finishing the beginner series I want to show and demonstrate some interesting projects using Lazarus and Firebird. I hope you like it and I would like to get some feedback. Greetings Miguel ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Devstructor · 2016-08-23 17:38 New tutorials ( http://devstructor.com/index.php?page=news ) : * Lazarus Tutorial #6 - The if statement * Lazarus Tutorial #7 - Modulo and integer division * Lazarus Tutorial #8 - Brain Trainer (math trainer) I hope that you like the work. I'm trying to develop interesting milestones to motivate beginners. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Devstructor · 2016-09-07 16:27 After my last milestone I made another video covering the theory of procedures and functions. I’m talking about general information about procedures and functions, the benefits and possible use cases and in the end I’m showing different declarations. Up to this point I haven’t introduced classes and therefor the declaration inside a class is a bit tricky. I focused on interesting aspects for beginners, so I’m not talking about nested procedures/functions, virtual abstract and all the other more advanced stuff. I hope you enjoy the video and that it could answer some beginner questions. http://devstructor.com/index.php?page=3571 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- crack81 · 2016-09-07 20:02 Great I like your videos  I hope more tutorials Regards... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Handoko · 2016-09-12 13:05 It is good to see video tutorials about Lazarus programming. Keep working. We appreciate it. Have you consider a suggest box, where visitors can suggest new tutorials. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Devstructor · 2016-09-12 17:26 Yes, I considered a suggest box and I think that I will develop a community section between October and November. This community section may contain: suggestions using a web formsimple votings - to get an idea of my viewers interests. For instance server applications, databases or simple utility applications?Your ideas?  Currently I'm too busy, but it will get better in a month. Moreover I have to check the German privacy law, because saving personal information (like a contact e-mail from the suggestion form for further questions about the suggestion) is quite complicated here. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Handoko · 2016-09-12 18:02 Quote from: Devstructor on September 12, 2016, 07:26:17 pmThis community section may contain: suggestions using a web formsimple votings - to get an idea of my viewers interests. For instance server applications, databases or simple utility applications?Your ideas?  Awesome. I visit this forum frequently. I saw some nice topics here that I think it will be good to make them tutorials. Hey, I'm a freelance web/graphics designer. You can contact me if you need my help.  I'm glad to contribute some of my time, for free. But you know,  24 hours a day is not enough. You can't expect me to spend too much time for the tutorial site. Also, I now test and have fun with Lazarus Android Module Wizard. I found bugs and many things to be improved. I will spend some of my time for it too. I wish there could be 48 hours a day!

Why don't use server outside German? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Devstructor · 2016-09-12 18:19 Quote from: Handoko on September 12, 2016, 08:02:33 pmAwesome.

Great Maybe the community section could contain advanced stuff like code challenges or other user submitted content Quote from: Handoko on September 12, 2016, 08:02:33 pmWhy don't use server outside German? This is not necessary. The German privacy law was not made to annoy software developers. I don't want to sell personal information or save credit card information.. Basically I just need something like an email to reply to user suggestions. I don't think that this will be a major problem ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Devstructor · 2016-10-29 16:48 Hi  After a short break I'm back with another tutorial. This time I show how to develop a VAT calculator. The goal of this video is to use the theory knowledge from the last video and write down the first procedures and functions. I hope you like it http://www.devstructor.com/index.php?page=9064 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Handoko · 2016-10-29 18:15 Good job. Pascal text tutorials are easy to find, but videos are rare.     May I suggest something. I think it would be great if there is a summary at the end of each tutorial (maybe next tutorials). Example: QuoteIn this VAT Calculator tutorial, you have learned: * Basic components:      - Label      - Edit      - Button * Function and Procedure Creation * Built-in Functions:      - StrToFloat      - FloatToStr Having a summary page, will make the student try to remember what he/she has just learned. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Devstructor · 2016-10-29 20:36 Great idea I included the summary section on my website immediately  I think that I will complete the summaries of the last videos in the next days ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Devstructor · 2016-11-18 21:11 Hi  I spend some time on a community section: https://www.devstructor.com/index.php?page=community Maybe someone is interested in my newsletter or would like to send some feedback or suggestions  Regards Miguel ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Devstructor · 2016-12-15 17:18 Some new tutorials, I hope you like it  Lazarus Tutorial #12 - Retro Style Pong Game https://www.devstructor.com/index.php?page=22552 developing a retro style pong gamegame mechanicscollision detection Lazarus Tutorial #11 - Using the debugger https://www.devstructor.com/index.php?page=19948 build modesbreakpointslocal variableswatchescall stackmemory leaks Regards Miguel
