Review

Read the entire review of this book.

Both the book Visual Object-Oriented Programming Using Delphi, by Richard Wiener and Claude Wiatrowski, and the newest version of Delphi arrived at my door within a few days of each other, so I thought it useful to combine a look at the new tool with a look at the text...

Delphi is aimed primarily at developing multi-tier distributed database applications. The text, unlike the vast majority of its competitors, does not discuss database development at all. That is entirely okay by me; the majority of engineering computations I'm involved with do not involve databases either. The text does lead you through the development of several small apps that have instructive value. Chapter 5 will appeal to engineers, as it discusses the solution of, and presentation of the results for, a differential equation representing the control of a system. In Chapter 7, the authors boldly leap into component construction, which is another order of magnitude more difficult than creating drag-and- drop apps. -- Peter N.

This review is from: Visual Object-Oriented Programming Using Delphi With CD-ROM (SIGS: Advances in Object Technology) (Paperback)

I tried to buy this book a while ago. It went out of print or I couldn't get it. It has been a while since I've seen a Delphi Book by Mr. Weiner. I'm shocked that it's here. Mr. Weiner is a excellent writer of computer books. He always covers a computer language in great detail. I was impress with seeing his coverage of Delphi before the book went out of print. Then I bought his Eiffel Book and was blown away. So I know this book is going to leave a mark. Warning! This book may be a hazard to your social life. I want it!
