Product Description

Product Description
This book is aimed at people with limited or no programming experience and equips them with the skills required by a professional programmer. These skills are taught within the Delphi environment allowing the user the 'fun' of producing attractive Graphical User Interfaces, whilst learning the fundamentals of programming, which are transferable to other imperative and object based languages.

From the Author
We really like Delphi!
We wrote this book for both beginners and more experienced programmers. It is based on course material we have successfully used with students of various levels (from school children, through undergraduates and postgraduates, to professional programmers and pensioners).

We teach Delphi because we like Delphi. It is relatively easy to use and produces professional results. It is fun to program with Delphi.

In the book we aim to guide the reader through the main features of Object Pascal by introducing programming concepts in tandem with Delphi components. Object Pascal is the underlying programming language provided by the Delphi environment.

Whichever version of Delphi you use, this book will be applicable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for both complete beginners & experienced programmers!, 4 Oct 2000
By A Customer
This book is perfect if you want to learn Delphi, but also if you have started learning Delphi and want a reference book.

Unusually for Delphi books, it actually covers all Delphi versions 1-4 inc.

If you want to learn Delphi, or just extend your knowledge this is a great book.

3.0 out of 5 stars A bit basic, but some good bits, 10 Jan 2002
I am an experienced VB programmer and needed a book to quickly learn Delphi. I found this book a bit too basic - if you already know the fundamental concepts behind loops, message boxes and event driven languages, then most of the first two thirds of the book is of little use. However, the sections on objects and exception handling were good, and the book is generally well written (if a little patronising in places!). The more interesting sections on ActiveX and components were glossed over when I would have preferred a bit more info.

A great book for complete beginners, but not so good if you already have the basic concepts sorted.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent buy for the beginner or novice programmer., 14 Nov 1999
By A Customer
This is a sound choice for people who believe that worked examples are the way to learn Delphi in their own time and without tutor support. This book takes a structured approach, enabling readers to advance skills in a progressive manner. Key concepts are properly explained and there are plenty of screen shots. Well written, the code works and it isn't heavy (in either sense!). Recommended. (Mature computing student at University of Sunderland)
