Summary: Excellent Delphi Book for Real Programmers
Comment: I've bought a lot of Delphi books over the last few years, and this is one of the best! Excellent coverage of Database (including ADO, SQL, and N-Tier), Client/Server, and Internet programming. If you own Delphi 5 Pro or Enterprise...get this!
It doesn't waste your time with a bunch of silly sections on creating little overlapping circles on your screen, nor does it deal much with Multimedia (my only complaint). If you are writing a real world database or Internet application, this book is well worth the money! (With it I finally understand the Delphi "messaging system.")
This is a large book, with over 1000 pages, so it's no light read, but Canti's writing style is enjoyable. It's not really a book for absolute beginners, although it has an excellent language section for those who may need to bone up on Pascal.
With this book, and a good Multimedia book you'll be well equipped to write the next great killer app!

Summary: Great, almost excellent
Comment: This is a great book. My complain is that sometimes it leaves you wanting for more and he says a lot of times to check the source code from the web site. Also while reading you get incomplete code (printed) and you keep wondering how the code should work, due that you have to read the code that must be downloaded from the web site. This book is not for the beginner starting to learn Delphi and neither for advanced developers. If you are in a line between these levels, then this book is for you.
Marco gives great tips to make your apps look like commercial apps and good HOW-TO'S. The chapter about component development is fair and the webbroker is good.
Anyway when I finished reading the book (from cover to cover) I was satisfied, but I wanted more.
Another book to check is the Developer's Guide for Delphi 5 from Texeira and Pacheco.

Summary: Delphi Delight
Comment: I knew absolutly nothing about Delphi or any other programming language. As a complete beginner it can be very frustrating trying to find a book that explaines the basics well and continues into in-depth delphi programming. I have a number of other books, all of them assume that you know the basics of delphi programming and are not clear enough. This book was a bit hard for me to start with, however I was able to download an introduction to pascal and delphi from the authors website ... which made the learning process allot easier, and after allot of sweat I made the change to this book.
I have not finished going threw the entire book yet as it really goes into advanced topics that take more time, However I am coping well enough with the more complex delphi topics and have made real progress. I would highly recomend this book to anyone interested in learning delphi from A-Z.
