Title: A Must for Delphi 5 Developers
Review: Excellent Book!! It covers about everything that you could need when writing a Delphi 5 Application, from databases, custom components, graphics, hard-core techniques (it even had more tricks for the Windows API than a book on Windows that I bought), etc. A suggestion for the next issue would be: put some exercises for us to do! The book is an excellent reference, but for learning, is hard to do if you don't have a real project to work on. On the other side, it would be better to put it on two tomes, the book is really big and I had to print the chapters on the CD anyway. A "Delphi 5 Developer's Guide" - "Advanced Delphi 5 Developer's Guide" combo maybe?
