Rating: - A gem: full of useful and practical techniques
Neil Rubenking's (the author of the immensely popular Delphi Programming For Dummies) book is a treasure trove of helpful techniques that will benefit every Delphi programmer.

time to investigate before). ... Read More

It lack of the real world database application.
The most cases I encounter is to manipulate the datas

to view.
Maybe you can add it to the book in your next edition.

He goes onto help you make Delphi's various components behave the way you'd like, and includes information on accessing helpful Windows API functions. Some ofthe other topics are date math, DLLs, the application ... Read More
