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. August 9, 1996
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 !
