Programming things

Currently limited to examples of Delphi programming. Which is not very limiting.

Delphi examples

• Simple Chat Server & Client
• Regions, shapes, and boundaries demo
• Tic-tac-toe: source & executable with GUI interface (put in your own project and stir); and source for a console version (needs some source files from GUI version).

The Tic-Tac-Toe program is a test-of-concept of separating the model/data structure from the user interface/view+controller. It was written on a challenge that somebody wouldn't be able to write a Tic-Tac-Toe program. He promptly did. The quid pro quo was that I'd explain all those strange things I do in my code. So here goes.

• A fairly long set of code fragments developing the addition of a single property to a class type, with some explanations of the reasoning behind all those arcana. Available in sections and as a constructed monolithic document.

Because all that chatter rather gets in the way when cutting & pasting the code in these pages into the IDE, I hacked up some XSLT to filter it out. This grew from a weekend project into entirely too much work to wrap hyperlinks around pages based on their declared relationships to other pages, and it still only works almost right, most of the time.

• Description of the Registry Markup Language and a processor for it.
• Contributed by Doug Kanter: the things we don't show our customers.
• The One True Way[tm] To Do Dialog Boxes. Just for laughs, several ways are explored. (Rough initial version awaiting editing.)
