A Fantastic Book, 20 May 2002

This review is from: Delphi for Linux (Kylix) Development (Sams Developer's Guides) (Paperback)
Forget the CD as I have never bothered to even use it. The book itself is a treasure chest of information. Well written, robust and easy to follow. Kylix Developers guide gives you the fundamentals as well as the advanced features you will require to become a well versed Kylix/Pascal programmer. A particular point which I enjoyed is how the authors teach you how to program outside of the components for X, which teaches you to actually program for X directly. Databases, Games you name it, it is in there.
Another book I would recommend is LEARN OBJECT PASCAL WITH DELPHI. Though it says delphi, the langauage of Pascal is thoroughly covered in this book and translates quite well to Kylix.

Nothing exciting here, 19 July 2005

I've been programming in Delphi for over 10 years, so I've got the basics pretty well nailed.
Plus there's not much here about what is unique about Linux / Kylix / CLX.
The Web section was particularly disappointing. No depth.
Maybe a decent beginner's book.

I shouldn't have bought this book., 20 Dec 2002

When I bought the book, I thought I would be able to use Kylix software because the book has the open and trial edition.
But both of the editions asked me to type serial number and authorization key. What the hell are they? Have you ever seen any trial version of software asking you type serial number?
And I asked the publisher but they never repiled.
If you don't have enough money to buy the license, don't buy this book. It's useless.
