Embarcadero Academy - How to get more from RAD Studio, Delphi, C++ or Interbase

Today I just read actual a promo offer of Embarcadero Czech dealer and found very useful and interesting reference to getting one-month free access into Embarcadero Academy if case of buying Architect or Enterprise versions of certain development tools. Because I never heard about this learning system, I decided to explore all the options and features of this web portal.

Embarcadero Academy was set up in 2017 and actually offers almost 40 courses focused on various topics. One can find here courses for beginners, intermediate and expert programmers, intended for RAD Studio, Delphi, C++, Interbase or Sencha. Embarcadero promises that new courses will be available gradually.

Regarding the authors of the courses, we can see famous names here - especially Marco Cantu, Jim McKeeth or Alister Christie are a guarantee of high quality level of provided learning videos.

Courses available at the Academy have three different format and length:

• Micro courses, so called single-sitting courses, consist of one or two hours of comprehensive learning materials
• Mini courses, usually designed as one-day courses, are a bit larger and explain the issues in deeper details
• Complete courses, which usually takes eight or more hours and can last even a couple of weeks

Particular courses don't contain only video material but can be enriched with additional elements like:

• Puzzles
