From MS to LINUX made easy, really easy., 5 July 2001
By Paul Godin - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Kylix Power Solutions (Paperback)
Programming VB can be fun but mainly makes your life difficult with all those dll's and missing reference. Linux is easy and KYLIX is a pleasure to use. The book itself is excellent for a VB or Delphi programmer to migrate to LINUX. It's well written and of good value for the money. I recommend the book to those newbies to Linux, it's a good start. I recommend the book to the Linux enthousiast that want to develop fast, excellent and reliable code. Kylix is a charm to use and the book just make it even more charming.

Excellent overview of Linux system programming, 7 April 2002
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Kylix Power Solutions (Paperback)
300 pages - not encyclopedic - but a rich, thorogh introduction to Linux system programming and how to go about it using Kylix. Well worth the money.

All the missing bits - manna from Heaven, 8 Jan 2002
By Helen Borrie - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Kylix Power Solutions (Paperback)
I'm a long-time Delphi programmer and relatively recent migrant to Linux. This book absolutely fills the gaps for me in the numerous places where I'm asking "Now, how the heck do I go about doing THIS on Linux?". It's not about Kylix (although the samples and solutions are in ObjectPascal, of course) so much as about accessing the nuts and bolts of Linux through HLL calls to the OS, MMS and filesystem. Although it is primarily relevant to ObjectPascal it will be a great resource for developers using other HLLs on Linux too. It really fills in the bits that are missing from Linux books, programming books, FAQ forums and so on if your history has been with DOS and Windows and, especially, if you want to cross-plat your Delphi components.
I needed this book a year ago and I'm overjoyed to have it, now that I'm using Kylix 2.
Listmania!
