4.0 out of 5 stars Teach Yourself Delphi 3 in 14 Days (First Edition), April 28, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Sams' Teach Yourself Delphi 3 in 14 Days (Borland Special Sale) (Paperback)

Very EASY to follow. Found a mistake on page 257. Strings must be entered completely on one line. The, " Button1.Click Memo1.Lines.Add('ListBox String #' " should be entered on one line.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too many errors spell trouble for the beginner, January 29, 1998

This review is from: Teach Yourself Delphi 3 in 14 Days (Teach Yourself in 14 Days) (Paperback)

A book of this nature has to teach via a useful, comprehensive set of examples. This is not the case with this book. Quite simply, the example applications do not work when programmed acording to the instructions in the book. In many cases, steps needed to get things to work properly are completely ignored. Controls that show up in the code examples have never been placed on the forms, etc.

I've been programming close to 30 years, so I was able to eventually sort things out, but I feel if I had trouble getting stuff from this book, a beginner would be lost. I suspect anyone who finds this boook valuable has had some previous Delphi experience, or has programmed similar tools.

This book is what you need if you want to create a simple application with some database elements. Great examples and explanation.
