This review is from: Peter Norton's Guide to Delphi 2 (Peter Nortons Complete Guide) (Paperback)

This book lacks any real substance about the Delphi language and merely glosses over topics. Leave it on the shelf and the money in your pocket.

This review is from: Peter Norton's Guide to Delphi 2 (Peter Nortons Complete Guide) (Paperback)

While this book is mostly unremarkable, it has an informative chapter on how to interact with a network via the Windows API, dynamically map drives, capture printers, etc.

1.0 out of 5 stars Rubbish, August 24, 1997

This review is from: Peter Norton's Guide to Delphi 2 (Peter Nortons Complete Guide) (Paperback)

Tthis is not only the worst technical book I have ever seen, but is worse than I could have ever imagined. It totally fails to meet any of the promises on the cover. It contains a very superficial look at Delphi using a cookbook approach, padded out with long sections of irrelevant material (e.g. descriptions of Windows API functions, a section on writing DLLs in C), some of which are just inaccurate (e.g. the sections on the Registry and OLE). It is quite clear that the author only has a superficial knowledge of Delphi and prefers writing about other subjects he understands or half-understands
