Editorial Reviews

Review

"Introducing Delphi Programming turned out to be outstanding: it begins where I needed to begin: it progresses smoothly from task to task; it is built around sets of practical exercises and practice activities; explanations are clear and well organized. It is the best "how to" book of any type that I have ever used.--Pat Byrd, Department of Applied Linguistics & ESL, Georgia State University

This is a good book to get started with whether you are familiar with programming on not. I worked my way through the book from the beginning but stopped eventually when I realized I was getting a bit board and needed bigger challenges. I also use it as a reference occasionally.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book!, November 29, 2011

This review is from: Introducing Delphi Programming: Theory through Practice (Paperback)

I don't write reviews as I rarely have time to formulate a good one. But this book is such a great introduction to the Object Pascal programming language and the Delphi IDE that I felt like I owed it to the writers to leave a review.

If you are interested in learning delphi and have never programmed before then this is the book for you!
