Pascal Programming

In the Pascal Programming course from SpiralTrain participants learn the generally applicable and original procedural language Pascal for developing reliable and efficient applications.

Pascal Intro

The course starts with an overview of the program structure of Pascal, the coding style, the division into Units and the Scope rules in Pascal. Attention is also paid to compiler directives, conditional defines and include files.

Pascal Syntax

Next the language syntax of Pascal is discussed with variables, standard data types and control flow constructs such as if clauses and for loops. User Defined Types, Enumerated Types and Exception Handling are also treated.

Procedures en Functies

Special attention is paid to procedures and functions in Pascal. The definition and invocation of procedures is explained as well as the passing of different types of parameters such as reference, default and constant parameters. Also recursive functions and function overloading are treated.

Arrays en Records

Then it's time to consider arrays and records in Pascal. With regard to arrays, array indexing, array boundaries and static and dynamic arrays are explained and with regard to records Record Data Types, Variant Records and Records with Methods and Constructors are discussed.

Classes en Objects

Classes and Objects in Pascal are also part of the program of the course. The Pascal implementation of object oriented concepts such as encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism and abstract classes is treated.

Generics

Finally the course ends with the explanation of parameterized types, also known as generics. Generic constraints, generic results and also smart pointers are part of the subject matter.

Audience Course Pascal Programming

The course Pascal Programming is intended for anyone who wants to learn programming in the programming language Pascal.

Prerequisites course Pascal Programming

To participate in this course basic knowledge of programming in another programming language is beneficial to the understanding but is not required.

Realization Training Pascal Programming

The theory is discussed on the basis of presentation slides. The theory is further explained through demos. After discussing a module there is the possibility to practice. Course times are from 9.30 to 16.30.

Certification Pascal Programming

After successful completion of the course participants receive an official certificate Pascal Programming.
