if you are going to do windows programs and you have freepascal, i'd recommend
Lazarus, as well... lazarus is the GUI programing IDE... it is also
multiplatform so that you can compile for windows, *nix, mac and other GUI
environments...
lazarus is pretty much delphi compatible... look it up and give it a try... it
is a lot different than using a text editor and coding everything... you grab a
component and drop it on your GUI form and can then modify its code if
needed...
