Charlie Calvert's C++ Builder 3 Unleashed

Rating:
Summary: Awesome book
Review: A book which I (and others in my workplace) have used extensively in the development of several projects to date. This IS the C++ Builder bible. The only gripe is that the book is so desirable it's often missing from my bookshelf...

Summary: Great book covering many in-depth subjects.
Review: A great book that really covers Builder. An excellent source for database and active x development within builder. Examples are clear, clean, and to the point. I recommend this book to all users of builder.

Rating:
Summary: Excellent book for the advanced user - take care of the CD
Review: An excellent book covering almost everything you'd ever want to do with Builder. Watch out for the CD though, many of the chapters come in Acrobat format on the CD and if you damage it, tough - Macmillan press will NOT replace it. If you only buy one book for Builder 3 make it this one.

Summary: Great book covering many in-depth subjects.
Review: Not a book for beginners, but absolutely the best book in my library. Every of the amazing number of examples is accompanied by a simple, elegant example which illustrates it so well. I've read this book twice already. If you know C++, it covers everything you need to know to program Builder.

Summary: The knowledge gained is invaluable
Review: This is the best book I've read for C++ Builder to this date, I have all of them with the exception of the "For Dummies" intro book. Charlie Calvert has improved this book so much from the previous version. He is able to explain difficult topics with ease and short examples. Database, Internet, ActiveX, DCOM and other interesting topics are explained with clarity so you really can test what he is explaining by yourself. This is not an introductory book, you must have some basic knowledge with C++ Builder 3 before reading it. It worths the invested money in it. Thumbs up, thanks Charlie
