Good Delphi Prism online resources

Question

A Google search on "delphi prism", "delphi prism resources" or "delphi prism code snippets" reveal almost no good sites at all are there any good programming site(s) with some good amount of code snippets and tutorials on Delphi Prism?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

@omair, you have you have basically five ways to obtain information about Delphi Prism

1) The official Info

• Prism Wiki
• Developing for Mono with Delphi Prism

2) Using the Blogs

• Introduction to Language Integrated Query with Delphi Prism: Part 1
• Introduction to Language Integrated Query with Delphi Prism, Part 2
• Using LINQ to Objetcs in Delphi Prism
• Introduction to Delphi Prism (CodeProject)
• Delphi Prism and the Cirrus Framework (@jamiei blog)
• Dynamically compiling code with Delphi Prism (@jamiei blog)
• Dynamically generating code with Delphi Prism (@jamiei blog)
• Delphi Prism and the Microsoft Rx Framework (@jamiei blog)

3) as @jamiei suggest Translate the C# or VB .Net Code to Delphi Prism is not difficult, you can use the C# to Oxygene Tool or you can do it manually.

4) the books

• Delphi Prism Development Essentials Dr. Bob
• Delphi Prism Manual de referecnia (spanish)
• Delphi for .NET Developer's Guide (this book is about delphi .Net but is very useful)
• .NET 2.0 for Delphi Programmers (very nice book, cover intermediate and advanced topics about .Net under a Delphi Programmer Perspective)

5) Ask in StackOverflow

Answer 2

Agreed, along with the Prism Documentation Wiki it's worth noting that the best resources for .NET code are nearly all composed of C# code snippet sites.

The RemObjects team have built a C# to Oxygene tool and have even integrated it into the IDE so you can copy C# code from sites such as CodeProject and the MSDN documentation and paste it directly as Delphi Prism code into the IDE.

Answer 3

Best place I find is http://prismwiki.codegear.com/en/Main_Page

There's also the various CodeGear and RemObjects newsgroups.

Answer 4

Prism was just a rebranding of the Oxygene compiler. If you search for Oxygene then you are more likely to find resources.
