1.0 out of 5 stars Total waste of time and money, February 4, 1998
This review is from: KickAss Delphi Programming: Cutting-edge Delphi Programming with an Attitude (Paperback)
Most code samples don't even compile. A third of the book is wasted on some fictional account of an idiotic detective (what does that have to do with Delphi programming??). The technical info is scarce, and there isn't any depth whatsoever. Not worth the effort of opening the package.

2.0 out of 5 stars No satisfaction with code or publisher!, January 3, 1998
This review is from: KickAss Delphi Programming: Cutting-edge Delphi Programming with an Attitude (Paperback)
Much of the code was ommitted on the CD. The code that is there does not work. There are no updates on the publisher's site as specified in the book. One of the authors who replied to my emails was sympathetic, but was also dissatisfied with the publisher. The chapter on hierarchical databases was the worst offender - and the main reason I bought the book. So much promise, so little gain. However, it was written well and I like the explanations.
