Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

With such an acclaimed list of contributors that include Bob Swart (aka Dr Bob) and Ray Konopka, it's little wonder that Delphi 6 Developer's Guide oozes knowledge and insight from cover to cover. Make no mistake; this is not one for the faint-hearted. If you are just starting out along the development road, then you may well do better to pass this volume by for now. However, if you are looking to step up your skills to get to grips with the advanced end of Delphi, then this book will take you a long way to where you want to be.

Ably demonstrating their vast wealth of experience, the authors help you to discover a treasure chest of skills and techniques that make the very best use of Delphi 6. Although some information is repeated from previous editions in the series, preference is given to providing in-depth coverage of the many new features including developing CLX components, interfacing with COM+, and creating e-business solutions by writing SOAP-based Web Services. However, don't worry too much about what has been left out of this edition as the entire text of Delphi 5 Developer's Guide is included on the CD-ROM.

Developed and enhanced as it has been over the years, this latest edition to the Delphi Developer's Guide series is the best yet. If you would prefer a gentler learning curve into the upper echelons as a Delphi developer then Marco Cantu's superb Mastering Delphi 6 may be preferred, but if you're confident you can stay the distance, then you will not do better than this complete and authoritative guide. --Peter Lunn

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential for the beginner through to expert developer, 6 Feb 2002
By A Customer
If there's one thing that cheeses me off, it's buying a book for the most recent version of software that you're using and discovering that pertinent information has been stripped out with each successive edition.
This book doesn't do that, in fact it comes with the previous version (Delphi 5 Developer's Guide) on the cdrom! 10 out of 10.
While the book is probably a skip ahead of the beginner who expects to be shoe horned into Delphi, you're not left with missing chapters which might otherwise strip away the foundations. Excellent!
The Mastering Delphi 6 book and others like it could do well to copy this idea. Each edition of MD6 left out essential chapters with each release so that by version 6, you were assumed to have read the previous books.

Even as a beginner, there's not too much that can't be understood if you take your time with the examples.
I thoroughly recommend it.
