Summary: Good but Patchy
Review: A useful compilation especially of tips and tricks, but arguably not comprehensive enough in either scope or depth. Don't think that buying this book will let you off reading the Delphi help files, or looking elsewhere for basic reference material.

Summary: No Source Code -> major Let Down
Review: After Receiving Mr.'s Cantu's "Mastering Delphi 4" I am very Disappointed to find that NO CD-ROM is included - despite Advertisement to the contrary. A very brief review of the book itself demonstrates the standard is up to Mr.'s Cantu's usual high quality, but without the source code (only sinpets are in the text) the examples fail to demonstrate their functions. SYBEX apparently chose to place the code on their web-site instead of supplying the advertised CD, but the code isn't on their web page as of yet!(9/26/98). I would have passed on this book had I known that.

Summary: A fantastic primer on Delphi from an experienced OOP view.
Review: As someone who knew all about the concepts of OOP from a C++ perspective, and was new to world of Delphi, this book was fantastic value. It showed me how to get things done, and how OOP works with Delphi... now I think Delphi is fantastic. I read the first few chapters before attempting anything in Delphi and now that I have started programming in it, use the book as my first reference. Thank you Marco!

Summary: Don't miss this one
Review: For Bob Swart to review a book highly should be enough for any aspiring Delphi programmer, but I'll add my voice in saying this is another great book from Marco. Unlike other version books, Marco uses tons of new examples and avoids simply providing an updated version of his previous work. Much of the beginning material in MD3 had to do with object pascal and you won't go wrong buying both MD3 and 4 if you need the background. Great book.

Summary: Comprehensive review of Delphi 4
Review: I had a chance to skim this book over several hours. I have experience with VB6 and wanted to understand what Delphi has to offer. There was some good discussion on the oo aspects of Delphi that appear to be superior to VB. There was also a good section on internet development and Active X control use. It gave me an unbiased point of comparison between VB and Delphi products.

Summary: Another book that is too complicated
Review: I'm seriously considering writing my own book on programming, since there is a huge hole to be filled. From what I've seen the majority of books cater to advanced programmers, which is unfair and unfortunate. You can't start in the deep end. It's also like that in other fields as well. If you are new to Delphi don't buy this book, you won't derive much from it. The topics covered obviously deal with more advanced issues. Sharp looking cover though.

Review: I've been programming in Delphi for the past couple of years, and found that "Mastering" series from Cantu are most complete. The book contains many usefull information about almost anything you may need to develop professional applications in Delphi 4.
