What a waste...

This book isn't worth the paper it's printed on. And all because it says: "for Experienced Programmers"... To clear it up: It's really a beginners guide! The first chapters explain what Delphi is. Then it tells what every menu-item in the IDE does. It explains some things about the Delphi types.If you're a beginner with Delphi and you've lost the original manual, then consider purchasing this book. Otherwise, it's just a waste of your money.

Good for programmer with light experience.

I read this book as a transition from VB to Delphi
about a year ago while still in school. I thought it was excellent at the time, but in retrospect with the experience I have gotten as a Delphi Developer since leaving school, it is NOT for very experienced programmers. If you are a student or someone with light experience in VB, this may be a
good transition.

The wrong title for this book
Rating (1)
Date: 1997-05-12
This book definitely is *not* for experienced programmers. For example the authors spend a paragraph explaining what an integer is!
Furthermore, it doesn't get into the "nuts and bolts" at all. It is written on a very elementary level.
Another annoying feature is the very frequent suggestion that the reader refer to the online reference for information on a topic. I would think that someone buys a book because he can't get the answers from the online reference. The authors also often refer you to another chapter in their book. It is as though they didn't care enough to organize their book properly.
Spend your time and money elsewhere
