A must have for C++ programmers learning Builder!

This book is excellent if you need a starting point for programming in Builder. It gives examples and illustrations that will help C++ programmers convert their knowledge to Builder. If you are looking for a quick, easy introduction to Builder, get this book. Also, don't worry if it is for an older version of Builder, the versions are close enough in format to keep it understandable.

Beginners guide with clear explanations.

If you know absolutely nothing about C++ or Builder, this is the book you should read. It's very clear and to-the-point when explaining how to use the components to build an application. The author uses step by step examples to walk you through using each component and lets you know what other components and properties you need to use to make that particular component work. One thing you should not expect to find in the book is help for actually programming in C++ or using SQL. The examples are helpful, but the book is about using Builder, not about programming. The one thing that makes this book so great is that you can actually learn from it without a major mental effort.
