Rating:  - A great learning tool
If you are new to Delphi (like I am) and you need to get familiar with the Delphi environment, tools, and objects this book is for you. It is well written and provides code examples for everything. This is not a book on how to program in Pascal, but a book on the Delphi tools. The examples are applicable to more complex applications. Even if you are an advanced programmer this book will be a great reference.
Rating: - It is not just book, It is Tom Swan Sharing with you...
If you are a patient and systematic beginner in Delphi programming this book is suitable for you. If you are a skilled programmer and try to look for some special topic this book also is great for you. It looks a like that Tom Swan personally seated with you in front of your PC and telling you what to do with your program source, talking about a lot of hints and jokes and even when to stop for coffee break or lunch. Simply it is great.

Rating:  - Good for beginners
This book was a greatly dissapointing. If you're an expert at Delphi this book is not for you. If you're just starting out than you may find this book helpful. The manuals that come with Delphi provide more in depth information than this.
Rating: - The best Delphi Book ever published!
I have examined very closely various books on delphi including Mastering Delphi by Cantu, Delphi developers handbook by texeira but nothing can come close to Tom Swans book.
If you have never programmed in Delphi before, take my words and buy this book. You will not regret. However, if you are very well versed in Delphi than just get a subscription to Delphi magazine. The other books in my opinion are simply rehash of the delphi guides that accompany the software and you will hardly ... Read More
