Delphi 4 Bible [With Dozens of Applications]

I am a Java programmer and have longed for the oportunity to create GUI applications. This is a fantastic alternative to BOTH Java and C++. This language will allow you the power and the ease of use to create anything you want. This book will guide you to it. It gives you everything you need to write programs period. When finished with the second chapter I was already creating useful things. A word of advice...judge not the actual programs that you are creating, but the invaluable tools that you are learning. Buy this book and keep it always for a quick reference

I have examined very closely various books on delphi including Mastering Delphi by Cantu, Delphi developers handbook by texeira but nothing can come close to Tom Swans book.If you have never programmed in Delphi before, take my words and buy this book. You will not regret. However, if you are very well versed in Delphi than just get a subscription to Delphi magazine. The other books in my opinion are simply rehash of the delphi guides that accompany the software and you will hardly learn anything new. In fact you may end getting more confused.Being a brilliant programmer does not automatically mean that you can write a book!. Tom Swan has the art to convey the message.In summary, it is a well thought, cut and presented book on Delphi.

One of the best Delphi books that can be found. If you are trying to be serious Delphi programer this detailed book is right choice for you.

good for any develope

It's really the best book about Delphi I've seen. The small programs are a real help, on which one can build upon.
