Summary: I Definately did not like this book
Review: After reading all the reviews this book had I was very surprise to see how terrible this book is. Make sure not to buy this book I was very very disapointed, it is supposed to be for an intrudoctory level, but this book is way below that, the only person who should by this book is someone who has never used a computer. This is very disapointing considerint other Sam publication. Botom Line DON BUY THIS BOOK

Summary: Don't be put off by the title!
Review: An ideal book for anyone who wishes to begin learning Delphi (version 4, 5 or 6). I an experienced Visual Basic programmer and purchased Delphi 5 hoping to use the on-line documentation to learn Delphi but found it too advanced and not an ideal learning environment. (On-line help tends to be a great reference tool but it's always hard to learn from.) I then purchased the Delphi Developer's Guide, which seems to be regarded as the best book on the subject. Although a superb book in its own right, its not aimed at beginners. I have now completed the Sam's Delphi 4 in 21 days, and let me say, it's a terrific book for beginners, which teaches in a lesson format, which is actually surprisingly easy and fun to follow. Don't be put off by the Version 4 title either, all the lessons work just fine in Delphi 5.

Summary: This book is all you need
Review: As a Visual Basic programmer, I found this book easy to use and very informative. When you finish the book you won't be a professional programmer but you will have a good grasp of the basics of both the Object Pascal language and the Delphi environment.

Summary: 21 days just to dream not to learn
Review: At first I was very exciting of learning delphi. Although I studied turbo pascal at past and I know about coding in pascal programming it was still impossible for me to make programs at delphi after this book. The writer must change the name of the book as "Teach Yourself Delphi 4 in 21 Weeks" and then he must make the book contain more details about programming.

Summary: Its Inprise , Not Borland anymore ....geee !
Review: Excellent book ! , but if the idea is to save a couple of trees in order to avoid printing the complete thing (All Chapters) , then they saved a forrest with this one. Still , you will be stuck to a monitor no matter what , so do yourself a favor and get this great book , master it and kick lame Visual Basic PseudoCode-Boys butt !

Summary: Great Book.
Review: Great Book for people wanting a starting point, which is what it's designed to do. You'll need more books though if you want to advance further.

Summary: Not for absolute beginners and structure not optimal.
Review: I am using this book to teach a brother of mine how to program. I have been unpleasantly surprised at many omisions and some things missing which are just plain common sense. For example the book doesn't highlight, scripts or differentiate in any matter many things such as when telling the user "change the name property". It would help if "name" was in a different typeset. This also applies to other properties.Chapter 3, Classes, is not intuitive for an absolute beginner and could be left for a much later date in the 21 days plan. If you, or the person you are planning to buy the book' already knows programming and just want to learn Delphi this is ok, however for absolute beginner I find this book to be very poor.
