On the Internet, you can find applications for almost all occasions. But in the event that there is a need for a highly specialized program, there are two options left - order it from a professional programmer or try to write it yourself.
It is necessary
development environment Borland C ++ Builder or Borland Delphi
Instructions
Step 1
Even a person who does not understand programming at all can write a simple program. Of course, for this you will have to master some skills and knowledge. The main advantage of writing a program yourself is that you can create exactly the software you need.
Step 2
To write a program, you need a development environment. Choose Borland C ++ Builder or Borland Delphi. Both programs are created by Borland, are almost completely identical in interface and differ only in the programming language used - in the first case it is C ++, in the second it is Delphi.
Step 3
Which language should you choose? Each of them has its own merits, however, C ++ can be called more professional, since many applications under Windows are written in it. On the other hand, Delphi is simpler, its code is visually clearer. So just compare the code examples of these languages and choose the one you like best.
Step 4
Download and install the programming environment of your choice, it is in it that you will create the code of your program. Read the educational literature on how to use Borland products. First, explore the program's interface, repeat some tutorial examples - for example, creating a simple text editor and media player. And only after that, having mastered the basics of programming, proceed to creating your own program.
Step 5
Start creating the program by defining the algorithm for its operation. You should describe in detail and step by step what your application should do. That is, to take such and such data from there and do such and such with them. Please note that the correctness of the program will depend on the correctness of the algorithm. The algorithm should be presented in the form of a block diagram.
Step 6
If in the process of calculations a certain stage is repeated many times, take it to the hotel cycle, the program will refer to it as needed. For example, instead of repeating a piece of code a hundred times, you write it just once, but the program will refer to it a hundred times. By optimizing your code in this way, you can reduce the size of your code and make your application run faster.
Step 7
Be sure to make explanations in the text of the program, without them you will hardly understand your own code in a couple of months. Comments are stripped out when the program is compiled, so they do not affect its size.
Step 8
Think carefully about the program interface, it should be simple, clear and convenient. Try to adhere to the principles of arrangement of controls that are traditional for programs under Windows. This will allow anyone to intuitively understand how to work with your application.
Step 9
Test the finished program, and be sure to perform all sorts of incorrect actions. If the program throws an error and hangs, change it to include the error handling in your code. The program should always know what to do in case of certain user actions. Squeeze the final version of the program with a packer to reduce its size.
