Summary: Very misleading title
Comment: This is by far the weakest of the 7 Delphi books I own. It is clearly not for experienced programmers. A lot of stuff for beginners (a whole paragraph on what is an integer). Most of the book is just copied out the Delphi help file.

Save your money.

Summary: Better than the alternatives....
Comment: Given the state of OTHER books attempting to explain Delphi that are too heavy to even lift, spend hundreds of pages explaining simple concepts, and then gloss over the hard stuff, this book is my recommendation for the programmer who has done some VB or C/C++ Windows programming and wants to move to Delphi.

Rating: 2
Summary: Not Too Exciting
Comment: The major problem that occasional or new users of Delphi face is the circular explanation style and few examples in the on-line help system. This book's title implies it might offer some relief. Unfortunately while wasting space on explaining basic concepts like conditionals and loops, or repeating information that's in the Help, it is short on the syntax examples that the cross-language traveler is starving for. Let's see, how do we convert a float to a long int? Good luck, as the index is also too slim. I was disappointed.
