Product Description
Now in its 10th version, Delphi provides users with four programming languages: C++ and Delphi for Win32 for building Windows applications, and C# and Delphi for .NET for building applications that target the .NET platform. Inside Delphi 2006 demonstrates how to use all of these languages. Topics include the foundations of Delphi, VCL framework programming, and .NET programming. Learn how to: * Create applications using Delphi, C++, and C#. * Design user interfaces using actions and other VCL components. * Create, handle, and raise exceptions. * Customize and create components. * Use the refactoring commands to restructure your source code. * Build lightweight database applications using the TClientDataSet component. * Reuse common routines by creating dynamic link libraries. * Produce graphic output with GDI and GDI+, and process images. * Print documents or store them as PDFs. The companion CD contains the code and compiled executables for every example in the book, along with two tools that help you view the contents of the CD.

 A very good source for learning Delphi. November 2, 2008
This is a very good book for learning Delphi. It is for beginners and advance learners. I use it in addition to: Introducing Delphi programming: theory throug practice by J Barrow et al.
This book Is great! October 17, 2008
Short notation: This book is great - and here is why
Its starts with the most simple programming without windows - it "aclimitize" your eyes to delphi code. Like me who havn't programmed for a while I love the way we clean out everything uninportant. You don't get a bucket full of paint over you at the first page, we go with easy steps to all the details. What a variable is and how it can be declared. All the container types there can be... Then we advance slowley and I simpley love the book. I borrowed it from a friend and fell in love with the way it was done! -- Now you just not stop with delphi - the book lets your feet get wet in C++ too!!
Also he mention how math formulas can be delcared inside const variables can be declared, and its so neat!
at the end of the book we shure get complicated - and for me who wants to get into the hard stuff - I can ashure that this fellow will have it noted as well used later on..
This book get Many stars !!! We love you !!!
at the same time - this is said - I wish that a math book in the same way could be published - accually I would recomend that to happend!
Inside Delphi 2006 - Good acquisition September 3, 2008
The book covers from basic to more complex themes. So it can be very useful to completely new users and to the more experienced ones, as a shelf reference as well. I recommend.

I have been a Delphi programmer for a number of years and read many Delphi books and this is by far the most basic. It is also the most difficult to follow. The Mr. Hladni mixes Delphi and C++Builder into one presentation. So if your interest is only Delphi (which seems to be implied by the book title) then take about half of the 727 pages and throw them out. Another difficulty in the manor of his approach is the examples his uses. The examples in the first 10 chapter are console applications - get real DOS. I had the feeling that he pulled parts of old material together and manufactured this book. I have always been critical of the example code that books use for their simplicity. This book goes to the extreme. The best example of this simplicity is chapter 23, Creating Win32 API Applications. All of the examples used in the chapter are basic components of Delphi - forms, buttons, list, etc. Delphi hides this complexity from programmers and there is very little need to create a form using direct API calls, so why doesn't he have examples that are more pertinent? If I were a non-experienced Delphi programmer and I read this chapter and I would come away confused at why I would want to create a Win32 API program. As an experienced programmer I found this chapter a waste of time and skipped through the material in about 2 minutes.
When he did address newer features than Pascal coding from the 1980s he did not point out or almost never that it was new/modified, whatever, the reason for the change much less the significance of the change. Needless to say you will not find a chapter entitled "New Features of Delphi 2006" and sadly that is the reason I bought this book.
If you are new to Delphi then you may find this to be a good primer, but I would suggest that as soon as you complete the book to get another to expand your knowledge of the current product (Mastering Delphi 2005 by Cantu for starters). For experienced programmers this book is a waste of time and money.
 Very good January 24, 2007
As a long time Delphi programmer from v1 through v7, C++ Builder programmer from v1 through v3, and Kylix programmer from v1 through v3, I found this book to be a very useful "nutshell" type book which provides both Delphi and C++ examples throughout.
As others have noted though, this is not the book you want if you expect more than cursory treatment [...]- I didn't so I wasn't disappointed.
Well written to boot.
