Product Review
If you appreciate hands-on examples in your programming books, consider this guide. Delphi 4 Bible combines a solid tour of basic Delphi programming with excellent material on more advanced language features available in Delphi 4. This text stresses traditional client/server programming using Delphi's classic strengths for corporate database development.
Early chapters concentrate on familiarizing the reader with the key features of the Delphi environment and the basics of using the Delphi Visual Component Library (VCL) effectively in simple programs. The author pays much attention to user-interface design with components such as menus, buttons, checkboxes, toolbars, and list controls. Further sections cover graphics programming, printing, and database applications. The authors also look at Delphi's charting and reporting capabilities, a necessity for any real-world corporate development.
The book includes more expert material on Pascal language features, such as exception handling, default parameters, method overloading, and dynamic arrays, plus some Windows internals such as advanced message handling. Additional sections explain how to build custom ActiveX controls and dynamic link-libraries (DLLs) and offer a quick tour of Internet component programming in Delphi. --Richard Dragan
