Customer Reviews

Excellent book from Cantu

I've been programming in Delphi for the past couple of years, and found that "Mastering" series from Cantu are most complete. The book contains many usefull information about almost anything you may need to develop professional applications in Delphi 4.

A fantastic primer on Delphi from an experienced OOP view.

As someone who knew all about the concepts of OOP from a C++ perspective, and was new to world of Delphi, this book was fantastic value. It showed me how to get things done, and how OOP works with Delphi... now I think Delphi is fantastic. I read the first few chapters before attempting anything in Delphi and now that I have started programming in it, use the book as my first reference. Thank you Marco!

Excellent intermediate level book

This book does an excellent job of walking the user through all the basics of Delphi and Object Pascal. It does assume some familiarity with Pascal, but if the reader has that, this is an extremely easy to follow book. The examples are useful, and are explained well enough that the reader can easily expand them to meet his own needs

Mastering Delphi

Excellent work

This is a fantastic work. Cantu has an excellent summary of the new language features added to Delphi 4, and notes pitfalls which may occur when compiling old code.I generally only refer to books when I'm stuck and need help beyond the online docs. I can sit down and just read this one; there's so much useful information in it that I always find something helpful.
