Rating: - The book has a very nice cover.
You're not going to learn Delphi by reading this book so I wouldn't recommend it for novice programmers. Half the book is spent on internet related code like WinSock, FTP, and OLE. If you're not interested in these topics then you're left with very little else. It covers databases in only 24 pages which is incredibly scant.

Rating:  - good for experienced delphi programmers

I just paid for a book I already own!
I actually researched this purchase to the
extent I was able before buying it. NOWHERE
does the Corolis Website ad/info about the book mention ... Read More
