G’day all.

Perth ADUG meeting online, 6pm AWST, Tuesday 20th May.

I feel like we are ready to bite the bullet on Interfaces.
For those of us who have never managed to get a good handle on them, it will be at a decidedly beginner level.

I have started to feel out a small grasp on getting some perspective on them.
I propose to talk through how I’ve been processing the info available … and then maybe our friends who are super comfortable with them can tell me the many ways in which I am off-track. :rofl::smiling_face_with_sunglasses::tada:

Vincent Parrett (Delphi legend @vincent) talked about them in a Canberra meeting in October 2020.

I’d like us to listen through the presentation together, maybe pausing as we go.
And look at the example code that was posted to github : GitHub - vincentparrett/ADUG-Interfaces: Simple example of using interfaces with forms and frames

Peter Thönell and Scott van der Linden have presented to us before, definitely showing practical interface usage (including pretty recently from Scott) So hopefully they will be able to help along the less-informed of us.

Dr Kevin Bond has been completing (completed?) his book on Quartex Pascal, which we could possibly take a quick look at. It’s in Early Access atm : https://www.educational-computing.com/
Web examples : Quartex Pascal
(Also, I was recently reminded how comprehensive his book on ALL OF DELPHI is.
“Programming Effectively in Delphi”. 1200 pages. pdf version available. books )
