5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book with many examples for an excellent RAD tool
I have bought all C++Builder books because I'm making a point of not falling behind this time. I started programming in 1981 but I took too long to make the transition from DOS to Windows, so I skipped the Win3.1 and moved directly to Win95/NT. After spending close to $2000 to try all compilers and RAD tools (VB, Visual C++, PowerBuilder, Optima++, etc.) I found the...

2.0 out of 5 stars Nothing High Performance about this book!
If you're expecting an introduction to Borland C++ Builder than this books for you. However if you're looking for a book with real insight into the product, don't waste your time or money on this one. It covers all the basics but that's it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book with many examples for an excellent RAD tool, March 19, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: High Performance Borland C++Builder (Paperback)
I have bought all C++Builder books because I'm making a point of not falling behind this time. I started programming in 1981 but I took too long to make the transition from DOS to Windows, so I skipped the Win3.1 and moved directly to Win95/NT. After spending close to $2000 to try all compilers and RAD tools (VB, Visual C++, PowerBuilder, Optima++, etc.) I found the C++ Builder to be the best on all fronts - fast, robust, single executables, event-driven and easy to program. The High Performance Borland C++ Builder book by Matt Telles has many good examples and it reads well. This book is not a encyclopedia for C++Builder but it covers the bulk of the language with meaningful and functional examples.

4.0 out of 5 stars I'm satisfied, December 6, 1997

This review is from: High Performance Borland C++Builder (Paperback)
This book is a mix between simple to advanced topics. You must have at least a little bit of experience with the C++Builder, to understand the examples. I really liked a lot that the author explained what it is happening, not like other books that you have to read the examples an figure it out, what some things are for. The narrative is simple, so it is easy to read and follow. Examples are clear, and they work like are supposed to. For beginners and intermediate users it is a great book, because there are many things to learn. I recommend it to have it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Reasonable intro.... NOT "High Performance", June 25, 1998
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: High Performance Borland C++Builder (Paperback)
If you're looking for in-depth advanced information on Borland C++ Builder, skip this book.

It seems to be a reasonable introduction, but that's it.

"High Performance"? I don't think so.
