Summary

Quite a bit of material was covered in this chapter. You learned the basic syntax and semantics of the Object Pascal language, including variables, operators, functions, procedures, types, constructs, and style. You should also have a clear understanding of OOP, objects, fields, properties, methods, TObject, interfaces, exception handling, and RTTI.

Now that you have the big picture of how Delphi's object-oriented Object Pascal language works, you're ready to move on to more advanced discussions of application frameworks and design concepts.
