About this title

Synopsis:

A world-renowned Delphi authority updates his classic bestseller with complete coverage of the most important new topics for Delphi programmers: building Web applications, using COM and CORBA, and making calls to the Win32 API. Hundreds of real-world examples show programmers how to stretch Delphi to its limits.

Review:

Mastering Delphi 5 is a welcome reworking of one of the standard books for Delphi developers. At over 1,000 pages it's a complete guide to Delphi 5 whether you're new to Delphi or already familiar with an earlier version.

Although it's a complete guide to Delphi programming, you also get a detailed examination of the new features in Delphi 5, including IDE improvements, ADO features, the Net additions to MIDAS and the impressive frames feature, which enables you to convert a form into a re-usable component. Many other new re-usability features also get coverage.

Mastering Delphi 5 takes an application-based approach to learning. There are around 200 examples all of which can be downloaded from Sybex' site as well as the author's. The book starts with an overview of Object Pascal, the excellent language which underpins Delphi. It also discusses integration with C++Builder code. Most of the book, though, is concerned with Delphi programming for Windows and explanations of the techniques used. This goes into quite remarkable depths in places, for example detailing the precise differences between programs written for the many legacy and other versions of Windows and how they relate to backward and forward compatibility. All in all, this is an excellent book that even owners of the previous version will want.--Steve Patient
