Question got closed in May 2025 due to bureaucrazy: Sites for beginning Delphi programmers – Stack Overflow
Posted by jpluimers on 2025/10/01
The whole idea of “community questions” was to create collective topics or references about important material without gaining any “points”.
Stack Exchange has left that concept in the dark by closing questions like this 2010 one that still contains relevant links: [Wayback/Archive] Sites for beginning Delphi programmers – Stack Overflow
The next step by their moderators is to delete the question, which will lose the valuable material forever.
Stack Exchange also dislikes humour.
And Embarcadero keeps deleting useful sites.
So for posterity, here is the question plus answers in full, amended with archived versions of each link when still available (I used † to mark the dead ones):
Q
Referring to [Wayback/Archive] this question, it might be nice to collect links to sites that really help Delphi beginners.
The first answer pointed to [Wayback/Archive] Delphi Basics, which is a really nice site.
But there must be more.
So: please contribute to this community wiki question.

It is very difficult to learn the language using the wiki. There is no order, and you feel like you are chasing your tail all the time.

Delphi.wikia.com has a [Wayback/Archive] Delphi Videos¹ link that was great for me when I was first learning Delphi.
[Wayback/Archive] Nick Hodges 30 Camtasia Demos† are great.
[Wayback/Archive] Alister Christie has great videos as well.

In [Wayback/Archive] 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.

¹ note that most of these videos were hosted by Borland/Inprise/Codegear/Embarcadero on sites they have taken down and were too lazy to move to their current sites.
