Development system with methods for assisting a user with inputting source code
To a large extent, the progress of a particular software development project is tied to the progress of the task of writing source code or âcoding.â It is highly desirable, therefore, to facilitate this task. Although there has been some effort to address this task by increasing code reuse, one nevertheless finds that core functionality of a program must often at some point still be coded by hand. Since software components are often constructed from complex classes comprising numerous class members and methods, the developer user typically spends a lot of time looking up help information (e.g., class definitions) for such components before he or she can use such a component. Thus even with the high degree of reuse provided by component-based visual development environments, developers still must spend substantial amounts of time coding functionality to suit a new project, and of that, developers spend substantial amounts of time referencing on-line help information for understanding how to use numerous components.
What is needed is a system providing methods for assisting users with inputting source codeâthat is, the fundamental task of writing the individual code statements and expressions which comprise a software program. Such a system should free developers from having to repeatedly reference on-line reference or help materials. The present invention fulfills this and other needs.

Event-Driven, Asynchronous Development with Delphi and the LKSL (Part 1) â an Introduction
Written by Simon J Stuart
The contents of this article are now significantly deprecated!
Introduction
This article serves as an introduction to Event-Driven, Asynchronous Development as a methodology. It is part one of a series on the subject, which will build on each part to demonstrate start-to-finish how to produce a fully Event-Driven, Asynchronous system using Delphi and the LaKraven Studios Standard Library [LKSL].
This introduction focuses on explaining what, exactly, an âEvent-Driven, Asynchronous Programâ actually is, and the advantages it offers over the way most of us presently write software.
