Rating: - Inside Delphi 2006
I have been a Delphi programmer for a number of years and read many Delphi books and this is by far the most basic. It is also the most difficult to follow. The Mr. Hladni mixes Delphi and C++Builder into one presentation. So if your interest is only Delphi (which seems to be implied by the book title) then take about half of the 727 pages and throw them out. Another difficulty in the manor of his approach is the examples his uses. The examples in the first 10 chapter are console applications ... Read More
Rating: - Very good
As a long time Delphi programmer from v1 through v7, C++ Builder programmer from v1 through v3, and Kylix programmer from v1 through v3, I found this book to be a very useful "nutshell" type book which provides both Delphi and C++ examples throughout.
As others have noted though, this is not the book you want if you expect more than cursory treatment [...]- I didn't so I wasn't disappointed.
Well written to boot.
Rating: - Rosetta Book
I know Assembly, C, and C++, and until I read this book, did not know any Pascal. I got the book mainly to help me with Borland Developer Studio 2006. The last version I purchased from Borland was C++ Builder 4.0 and I wanted (in hard copy so I could read away from the computer) to understand the differences between the compilers. The book is written mostly for Pascal programmers, but it does a decent job covering C++.
A lot of the programs, utilities, and examples I see from various sources ... Read More
Rating: - A very good book for Delphi beginners
I have several years of experience with C/C++ using MFC and Borland C++ Builder, and I have long been planning to expand my knowledge to Delphi. To this end, I found this book extremely well written with plain, well orgnized and easy to understand English. Albeit English is not my native language but it took me just 3 hours to finish reading almost half of the book (near 300 pages) with much enjoyment and I feel I already have a good jump start with Delphi. Of course, I guess the presented material might ... Read More
Rating: - If your learning from scratch...get THI S book!
Having been familiar with Pascal in the past but not programming for a few years i decided to get back into the swing. But OOP and Delphi seemed like a whole new language to me. This book refreshed me on the basics and guided me through the rest. Now i look forward to writing in Delphi ... without breaking a sweat!
