Customer Reviews

One of the best books in Delphi!

This is one of the best reference I've got for Delphi It is still very relevant even we are using Delphi 5 in the office..

Great Reference

Probably the best Delphi reference I've seen, including Borland's material. It contains a great coverage of the VCL heirarchy for Delphi 3, but has not yet been updated to Delphi 4 or 5. It does lack some coverage (eg TTable is not covered!) but I'd say it's the best place to start if you want to understand the VCL (ie, become a serious Delphi programmer).I should mention also that it is a VCL reference: it does not cover topics like the IDE or BDE in any great depth, and I guess assumes you get that information from other sources.I would have given it 5 stars if it had been updated for Delphi 4 and if its component coverage had been more complete. Pressure the publisher!!Still a great resource though.

Multi-tier coverage

I bought this book however, it has no coverage on any of the new components that are shipped with Delphi 3 C/S. No Coverage on RemoteServer, ClientDataSet, Provider or any of the new VCLs that you see under Win32 palette page. As far as database applications I see no help in using this book at all. Nevertheless is a good example how Borland should do their documentation

Delphi 3 Super Bible - What the Borland Help File Should Be

This book contains explanations and examples for every property, method, and event. Everything is sorted by the parent class so if you are working with a component you can look it up and see an example of how to use every aspect of it. This book would have gotten a 10 but there are a few ommisions (some of which are addressed on the enclosed diskette) because it was written prior to the final release of the software. Even so it has answered most of my questions. Better than the help file.
