Negative Positive
Title: I wish I had read other reviews before buying this book :(
Review: It is VERY badly structured, not at all comprehensive (despite the number of pages), and definitely not for the beginner who actually wants to do something rather than just marvel at the brilliance of Delphi 5.For example, all I wanted to do (initially at least) was read some data (from an ascii text file) into an array and after processing it chuck the results out into another text file. Not until page 8 hundred and something was file I/O mentioned and then it was promptly ignored.Reading this book made me think that I had to build a database in order to do this!
Is the review positive or negative?
