Very misleading title 1 out of 5 stars.
5 of 5 people found this review helpful.

This is by far the weakest of the 7 Delphi books I own. It is clearly not for experienced programmers. A lot of stuff for beginners (a whole paragraph on what is an integer). Most of the book is just copied out the Delphi help file.

Save your money.

Excellent book for VB and Pascal programmers 4 out of 5 stars.

This book is a great book for the intermediate to expert Delphi programmer. It had much to offer in the way of tips and tricks which would not be known even to the most savy developer. Small and inexpensive this book packs quite a punch in background object programming. Hope you enjoy as much as I have. Cameron Sr. Programmer/Analyst MSI, Inc.

Better than the alternatives.... 3 out of 5 stars.

Given the state of OTHER books attempting to explain Delphi that are too heavy to even lift, spend hundreds of pages explaining simple concepts, and then gloss over the hard stuff, this book is my recommendation for the programmer who has done some VB or C/C++ Windows programming and wants to move to Delphi.

Editorial Review:

Delphi, Borland's new development tool, is a powerful tool for client/server computing and a general purpose visual programming tool more powerful than Visual Basic. This book teaches experienced programmers the essentials of programming in Delphi--with no hand-holding. Everything programmers need to know is included, without unnecessary tutorials or remedial information.

Light reading, Great Tutorial. 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

This book is floating all over the developer's offices at The Money Store where I first saw it. It is a great way to get started and my favorite book on Delphi.. It's not a complete reference, but Ace Breakpoint's Database Adventure is the funniest tutorial I have ever seen.

This book is poorly organized and not very useful 2 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Delphi Programming Explorer is one of the few books on Delphi that I found almost useless. It is poorly organized, and does not show the simplicity and ease of use of Delphi. It is not a book for the beginner or expert programmer.

Editorial Review:

Presents a unique "first practice, then theory" structure for the tutorial. Is the best presentation you'll find on the process of programming in Delphi-not just language syntax and screen shots. Features a unique explanation of object-oriented programming from Jeff Duntemann, who wrote Borland's first OOP manual in 1989. Includes lively, fast-paced writing (with a generous twist of humor) from three long-time experts in the field. Gives you step-by-step instructions for creating commercial-quality database applications without writing thousands of lines of code. Includes a CD-ROM with all the Delphi projects from the book, including all code, graphics, and database files used in the projects.

A Book to Really Learn Delphi! 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

It's a very good book to read and go through the various examples, covering since the simplest of a Delphi Project to the most interesting and powerful about Creating Components. It's a Must Have Book! Congratulations Charles

The easy way to master Delphi. 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

How many times did you read a book, follow the examples and run it in the computer, and at end of it you can't write a program by yourself?
Delphi Unleashed is different! Just in the initial chapters you'll be learning the best way: experimenting.

While some books are introductory, others are for the experts, to be used as reference material. There are books that try conciliate both things, but few succeed. This one does it.

Charles Calvert, with your soft writing style and some sense of humour, leads you to explore the language from the beginnings to the most advanced topics, in a soft and pleasant way. He emphasises the most important points, even repeating some fundamental concepts, and pointing the trickiest subjects. Everything is minutely explained. It is impossible to not understand.

The examples are well formulated and are all reproduced on the accompanying CD, which carries too a bunch of tools and libraries.

The coverage of the book is fantastic. From the structure of a Delphi program, to variables and looping. From the use of functions, to strings and pointers. The object programming and client server techniques are explored in depth, as well as OLE, SQL and multimedia subjects.

The didactic is impeccable. An excellent book !

Editorial Review:

This book helps every programmer get the most from the latest version of Borland Pascal. Programmer's codes will become more effective and streamlined as advanced techniques from an experienced Borland Pascal programmer are learned. Includes professional tips and many useful code examples.

Editorial Review:

Written for Delphi developers and programmers who need to incorporate automation elements and other COM objects into their applications, this book teaches how to use the often-overlooked programming tools of Delphi to create powerful commercial products. It begins by discussing the Delphi integrated development environment, the user interface, and the principles of object-oriented programming. It then moves on to more complex topics such as VCL Delphi libraries, creating components, and creating simple COM objects, servers, and automation dispatchers. There is also information on how to use ActiveX controls in applications and how to create an ActiveX control from VCL Delphi components and forms.

Key Features
* Teaches developers how to create commercial quality applications with Delphi
* Compatible with Delphi 6
* Provides detailed coverage of VCL Delphi libraries, using ActiveX controls and COM objects
* Covers the Delphi integrated development environment, from the user interface to more sophisticated object-oriented programming principles
* Includes a thorough discussion of basic types and architecture of components, followed by methods to create your own Delphi components
* Contains a comprehensive list of WIN32 API error messages with value numbers and complete descriptions of the problem
* Provides schematics and source code for numerous projects discussed in the book

Not recommended 1 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

If you're looking for an advanced book on Delphi look elsewhere. The book is long on words and short on value. You have to trawl for information - the last third of the book is almost entirely taken up with the story of "Ace Breakpoint" detective, which I didn't even find entertaining let alone enlightening. A large amount of the book's text is printed source code (unnecessary when you have it on CD; it just serves as filler). And while every chapter is on a different topic, many are, while Windows related, hardly Delphi specific ("3D Fractal Landscapes", "Drag and Drop the Windows Way" (ie. not the Delphi way) etc.). All this would have been forgiven if the titbits in this book were worthwhile Delphi tips. But although various developers have looked at it, nobody in our office has yet obtained anything useful out of this book. It just sits on a bookshelf now, gathering dust.

Editorial Review:

You've learned to program with Delphi 3, and now you're ready to move to another level. If you want to get serious about Delphi programming, this book was written just for you. Open it up and shift into second gear, where you'll explore input/output filtering, fractals, way-out-there database technology, and Windows arcana. Then pop it into high gear and slam the pedal to the metal, as you speed through Internet development secrets, dynamic user interface design, process monitoring, embedded components, and more. Powerful stuff, written by experts for those who wish to become experts - and all written with a light heart and more than a touch of wit (you'll even be learning techniques through the programming adventures of Ace Breakpoint, Non-Traditional Programmer).
