Summary: Another gem from Lischner
Review: "Delphi in a Nutshell" isn't just another ordinary Delphi book. Once again Ray has manage to take on topics that are unique and not covered in any detail if at all by other authors. The chapters on RTTI and the Delphi object model alone are well worth the price. This goes onto my short list of "must have" Delphi books for any serious program (Ray actually now has 3 of the 5). Good work Ray.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What's a wonderful book!
Review: A book every serious Delphi developer must have. It's not for beginners, but contains invaluable information not available anywhere else. Author goes deeply into detail and gives accurate and concise answers. Real gem!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is a cracker...
Review: Every delphi-developer should have this one. Take your time to just look it through. You will go 'hey, great! does that function exist??' one time after another. With this book, and a good API reference (like the Delphi3 tomes) you will tackle many 'not straight forward' problems. Besides that, the book also covers some very usefull compiler issues, OOP, RTTI, multithreading and the object model. I only wonder why it had to take 5 Delphi releases....

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Finally, an Object-Pascal Reference!
Review: I am a novice at object-oriented languages and I'm learning to use Delphi. I recommend this book because it delivers something not found in the the other books out there - a reference to the base language that is up-to-date! The bulk of the book is the language reference section. There are a few other chapters that are masterly-written in a style (reminiscent of Kernnigan & Richie of C-language fame). The author knows his subject deeply his writing is commensurate with this knowledge. I think the short chapters on the Delphi language and the Object model are worth the meagre price of the book alone. I only wish that Lischner would take the time to write a separate Delphi overview covering the VCL - we would all learn a lot!

Don't be discouraged by warnings about the poor binding - I used a glue-stick to put it back together several months ago and it is doing just fine!

Summary: Ray Lischner: Delphi in a Nutshell
Review: I am using this book a lot. I like the reference style info together with examples. It contains much of what I've always wanted to really understand (memory management, RTTI, interfaces). Great job.

Summary: This is a book give me new feeling about delphi.
Review: I feel this is a excellent book about delphi ,especially good writing in chapter 2. Only terrible thing is book cover were fell after I read it two weeks. And I also think this is a correct writing style about delphi, delphi is so depth and she covered so wide topics,new delphi book should only cover little topics and be in a deep discussion.

Summary: Strickly a Reference
Review: I love ORielly reference books, this follows the pattern of most of them, however I was not able to use it to pick up and learn Delphi, as I wanted to. This is not for the beginner, but I have a feeling it will be a useful reference later.
