Product Description: This book teaches developers how to go full-throttle with Delphi, no matter which version they're using. Approximately 50 percent of the book's material applies to Delphi for Windows (the current, 16-bit version) while the other 50 percent deals with Delphi32 (the new 32-bit version for Windows 95 and Windows NT). Each chapter focuses on a particular area of Delphi development, such as making Windows Application Program Interface (API) calls: using OCXs: creating dynamic link libraries; designing components; building client/server applications; creating databases, and more.
Best Delphi book written The book is written for the developer by experienced people who did not use worthless examples. The examples are what is required in real world programming. The book is excellent to learn from and also to use as a reference even though Delphi 2 was the latest release at the time of publication. I have used this as a reference in the majority of cases. I have been using Delphi for over 6 years now for desktop development.
One of the BEST books on understanding and using DELPHI 'Delphi in Depth' is the best book I have found on understanding Delphi. I have 14 books on Delphi and this book is a must have, for anyone serious about learning and using Delphi. It is useful for both the novice and expert programmer. The explainations and CD examples are simple and direct, showing you HOW, but also explaining in plain english WHY and WHEN to use properties and methods.
