There was a discussion on the ADUG list recently about Initialization sections. During the discussion I mentioned a technique for stepping through all the Initialization and Finalization sections in your project.
Afterward, I got a few emails from people saying they had not heard of it before, so I thought I’d do up a short video to show how it works.
If the YouTube video above does not show up, here’s a link.

mp4 – 16.8mb (Quicktime) Seems to be some weirdness with linking to mp4 files. Will reinstate when I’ve figured it out.
m4v – 15.4mb (iPhone, etc)

Nice presentation. Imho, more captivating than reading a blog.
Hi Mal,
Thanks for the videos but unfortunately the link to the quicktime video is dead.
Cheers,

Thanks Sean, like I said, was way quicker to do as well. Will do more.
Colin: Weird. It seems to work if you right-click and do a “save as”. Not sure. will have to do some research.
Colin: Oh no, it doesn’t. Hmmm, let me see what’s going on.
Very informative and well presented.
…but, seriously? A ~10 minute video to effectively tell us to simply put breakpoints on the begin and end. in the dpr-file?!
Isn’t that a bit overkill? 😉
Cheers! 😀

Oliver : Glad you liked it, but overkill? This is the edited version! :-p
Yes, I know I ramble a bit when I haven’t really planned out the “agenda”. This one was done on the spur of the moment, but it seems to have been well received so the future ones I do I’ll try and be a little more succinct 🙂
Very informative and well presented.
Bu you do not need to place a breakpoint on the “begin” ling .. You can just start the compiler with F7.
