Customer Reviews

A real surprise

I have an extensive collection of Delphi books but I have had a hard time getting started in Delphi. I bought this book and gave it a cursory glance and put it on the shelf. Out of curiosity I took it with me on a recent business trip. Well it finally got me started in Delphi! While the writing is not highly polished or the humor not that humorous, the concepts are explained quite well by the author. I highly recommend this book to get you started in Delphi/Windows programming.

Great book for beginners

This book is really great ! Even if You are not familiar to programming, with this book you could soon have a good base on programming in Delphi. The book is very easy to understand because it is writen in very simple way, with many examples. I wolud suggest this book to everyone who is novice to programming, and who plans to make programs in this great developing tool, Delphi 2.0

A well thought out and written book for beginners.

Of all the beginning Delphi texts, this is probably the best. Peter Wright does an excellent job in touching on the many aspects of Delphi, without becoming tangled in time wasting examples and exercises. As a bonus, the last exercise is the development of a complete application, kind of a graduate exercise if you will. Highly recommended.

Learn by Example

This is great book for someone that wants to get up to speed quickly with Delphi. The author mixes a good technical discussion of the language with humor and the end effect is learning without falling asleep. The goal of this book is to get you started, and it takes a firm hands-on approach to accomplish this task. By the time you finish (and at 500 pages, you CAN finish it), you'll have touched base with all of the major features that Delphi provides

The guy thinks he's really funny

pretty good, too bad there were errors in the example code in the book
