Excellent introduction to Delphi programming! What a pity it came to my hands so late! During my recent graduate studies I had to develop software working under Windows using Pascal and, since I studied computer programming several years ago, it was really painful for me. I just couldn't get it with this new stuff (new for me): event driven programming, developing GUIs, etc. I tried Marco Cantu's book, but I found it was not really written for people with little knowledge, like me. Thank God I could ... Read More

In general, I recommend this book. It is an easy-to-use introduction to Delpi, Visual IDEs, and event-driven programming. As an experienced programmer (FORTRAN, COBOL, C++), I found the book a little boring, but I definitely learned some Pascal and got a mercifully gentle introduction (which I needed) to Visual IDEs and event-driven programming with Delphi. The book was written as a text for an introductory programming course using Delphi, which brings me to my only concern. The book does not do ... Read More
Rating: - Practical and Effective Teaching of Delphi Programming
For several years, I searched for ways to learn to use Delphi to create language-analysis programs. No courses are offered in Atlanta.

(b) They make huge leaps between levels. (c) They do not have enough practical activities to help the learn understand and apply features in Delphi. (d) They give exercise/practice ... Read More
