Delphi Client/Server 2.0 Courseware
Courseware Philosophy
---------------------
Borland has developed course materials for Delphi Client/Server
2.0 Suite. The courseware is designed to emphasize concepts of
Delphi Client/Server 2.0, not just techniques of using the
product. There are highly structured examples integrated into
the courseware which focus on key Delphi aspects central to most
development. An instructional slide show, which supplements
the instructor's teaching, is closely correlated to the
courseware and keeps both the instructor and learner on track.
The student exercises are thought-provoking and realistic.
There are additional advanced exercises for high-end students,
as well as appendices for supplemental topics. The courseware
becomes useful reference material after the class because of its
technical depth and educational quality. This document provides
a thumbnail sketch of the courseware and the environment
and audience for which it is intended.
Course Description
------------------
The course is designed to ensure that Delphi Client/Server
developers have an understanding of, and can successfully
implement, Delphi Client/Server in a distributed computing
environment.
The courseware covers the Delphi Client/Server 2.0 fundamental
concepts of Delphi application development including
IDE, Pascal Language basics, debugging, event-driven
programming, database tasks, the Borland Database Engine, and
database tools.
The bulk of the course highlights and teaches concepts of Delphi
Client/Server application development including database
components, working with SQL, migration to Client/Server,
exception handling, component creation, and InstallShield.

Course Prerequisites
--------------------
A working knowledge of Windows is imperative. Experience
programming applications for Local Area Networks and a working
knowledge of another Windows 4th generation database programming
platforms (e.g. Paradox for Windows, dBASE for Windows, Visual
Basic, PowerBuilder) is recommended. We encourage learners to
also have experience developing applications for one of the
following SQL datavase servers: InterBase 3.3/4.0, Microsoft
SQL Server, Sybase, Oracle, Informix, or an ODBC supported
server.
Preparation for Certification Testing
-------------------------------------
Attending a training class where this courseware is used will be
one of many ways for candidates to prepare for successful
completion of the Delphi Client/Server certification exam.
However, taking this course and learning the material contained
within may not be sufficient preparation for passing the test.
The courseware covers a broad set of features and concepts many
of which are included on the test. The training materials were
not written as the sole preparation for certification, but
instead to educate and prepare people for a real-world Delphi
development environment.
