Written by three acclaimed international experts, Delphi Developers Handbook takes programmers and developers to the furthest limits of advanced Delphi programming. Authors start where the manuals and most other books end, progressing to topics such as advanced client/server programming, custom components, and strategies for effective RAD (Rapid Application Development).

Delphi Developers Handbook is an advanced Delphi book, with about 1,000 pages. The book covers only advanced Delphi programming topics, including components development, IDE extensions, OLE and COM. This book will show you how to master every type of Delphi project: Internet, Windows or Client-Server. This book will provide you with such chapters as Class references, casting, "Fake" casting. Excellent reference for the RTTI (absolutely necceserry for Components and Com). Reference for messages and how Dephi handles them, and how you can handle them. Find out about OOP implemented in Delphi (finding classes, components; Owning, parenting; Creating, Destroying). Many explanations on the techniques used throughout the Dephi source code. Hundreds of real-world examples show programmers how to stretch Delphi to its limits.

The book's CD includes hundreds of example program listings, executables, utilities, online magazines, and third-party controls. A must for every professional Delphi programmer's bookshelf.

Delphi Developers Handbook is not for beginners, but is indispensible for experienced Delphi programmers who are looking to master their skills.
