Title: A homerun as far as I'm concerned
Product review: I picked this up at a bookstore recently and felt compelled to get on here and write about what I'd found.I've been developing in Delphi since v1, but for some reason, I'd never come across this book. I was building a new app in D5 for the Internet and wanted to find a good foundational reference for databases from the perspective of Delphi. I happened upon this book, and, boy, was I blown away! Given that it was targeted at D2, I couldn't believe that it would still apply to D5, but it does indeed. The tutorial section, where the author leads you by the hand from app concept to app deployment is the best I've seen. The performance & tuning section teaches a few tricks even an old dog like me hadn't seen before. The author has obviously been in the trenches a time or two.All in all, this is a great book that I wish I'd bought when it first came out. I shudder to think how much time it could have saved me.
