Delphi Developer's Solutions

This book is one of a growing collection that I refer to as those that "saved my sit-down." In the late 1990's when I was working as a free-lance trainer, I was suddenly presented with the opportunity to teach Delphi. While I was fluent in Pascal, I had never used the visual package Delphi that is based on programming in Pascal. After I hastily agreed to teach the class within two weeks, I purchased this book and pulled a couple of all-nighters working through most of the solutions. Although I made a few errors in the class, it went well and I later taught Delphi to two other unrelated groups. The solutions were very easy to understand and they cover most of the significant topics in the language. While I did find an occasional typo in the book, I never had any difficulty in getting any of the example programs to work. Therefore, although this book is obviously dated, it contains a set of excellent lessons in Delphi and could be adapted to later versions of the language.
