Title: A pathetic waste of print
Product review: As the other reviewers have pointed out, this book is mostly a rehash of the Win32 help files and the stuff in Microsoft Developer Network. The examples listes are either so similar to MSDN as to be useless or too simplistic to be useful. Worse yet, the book focuses on showing things you'd never do in a real application (e.g., create a window using API calls rather than letting Delphi's VCL do it for you). And to add insult to injury, these guys do not write well. The prose is sophmoric and befuddled. Don't waste your time with this one. Get Cantu's book or Pancheco's book, they're much better.
