Scratch to Delphi Example - Nested selection structure (New Employee Salary)

If Selection structure
 
In the example below we create a Scatch to Delphi program which calculates the new salary of an employee based on the old salary and the sales.

DB - OOP Dataset and Data-Aware application Example videos CAPS (Grade 11 -> 12)

ADO DB-OOP Example -  [CAPS Grade 11 - 12] Using Free Delphi 2010 Compiler for SA Schools

In this set of four videos we look at a DB connection example in Delphi based on the CAPS for IT in SA. Some of the concepts is outside of the CAPS, but is good for enrichment purposes. I will suggest that the data controls be placed, in a separate DataModule.

How to connect to an Access 2007-2013 database - [FET IT CAPS Content Grade 11] , Using the Free Delphi 2010 compiler for FET Schools

After a request from a teacher, I have created and uploaded two videos to youtube which is related to the CAPS IT Schools Curriculum for SA (Grade 11). 

In the two videos we look at how to connect to an Access Database in Delphi 2010, using ADO components and a Datamodule. In the second part of the video we use dataset methods to determine the average age of clients as part of the clients table. 

Video - Part 1

Video - Part 2

The pdf file which contain all the steps and some explanations as part of this two videos are available below: 


The pdf file could be downloaded following the link below:

The access database used as part of the two examples are supplied below:

I have  decided not to include the application that I have created. As part of the learning process, you should create the application yourself, with the help of the pdf file and the two videos.

Happy coding ;)

Delphi IT Schools - Post Numero Uno... Here we go! :-)

After months of promise and a constant request by many, I have finally gathered the courage and will to create this blog.

I am very passionate about IT as a secondary FET school subject in SA, and I am an avid supporter of Delphi as a programming language.

On this site I will post some hints, ideas and material relating to the FET IT CAPS curriculum as well as content relating to Dephi which are not CAPS related. It is for all teachers, pupils and anyone willing.

I will post content relating to scratch and the transition therof to Delphi as well as other documentation.

If you want to read more about why I have this site you may look at a post I made on my personal blog: 

http://bertiebuitendag.blogspot.com/2012/09/it-all-starts-somewhere.html

This is the start, a voluntary free one, which will use free time, free passion, and a card signed by learners as a reward... and basically that is all that will be required.

Hope to see you here many times... 

Below is a short "Hello to all video", it starts in Afrikaans and ends in English.
