<p>Can anyone recommend some decent resources for a .NET developer who wishes to get a high level overview of the Delphi language?</p>

<p>We are about acquire a small business whose main product is developed in Delphi and I am wanting to build up enough knowledge to be able to talk the talk with them.</p>

<p>Books, websites etc all appreciated.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>
