Book Description
This book teaches developers how to go full-throttle with Delphi, no matter which version they're using. Approximately 50 percent of the book's material applies to Delphi for Windows (the current, 16-bit version) while the other 50 percent deals with Delphi32 (the new 32-bit version for Windows 95 and Windows NT). Each chapter focuses on a particular area of Delphi development, such as making Windows Application Program Interface (API) calls: using OCXs: creating dynamic link libraries; designing components; building client/server applications; creating databases, and more.
