Summary: ...But it's a lttle dated
Review: Excellent and helpful, but the examples are from an older version of C++ Builder and this can cause confusion when you try to get them to work with C++ builder 4 or 5. It's overdue for an updated edition.

Summary: Well worth the money
Review: I have used Borland Builder professionally since release 1.0. I purchased the How-to as soon as it was released have turned to it over and over through the years. Like all of the How-To series, it is written in a style that is easily read and digested. I recommend this book for anyone who uses the Borland Builder product for development.

Summary: Great, but not perfect...
Review: I only wish that my employer would let me use C++ Builder at work. Get C++ Builder and this book and you can throw away Visual Basic and Visual C++ and make you bosses deadlines look easy.

Summary: Essential
Review: I will recommend this book to the people knowing C++ and the api well if you need to make windows-applications and would like to use Builder to do it. During my final year project, this book has been absolutely essential. I've found very nice solutions to advanced problems. Without it, I would have had severe trouble. Although it covers alot, it doesn't cover everything - there is still need for some fiddeling around. Conclusion : highly recommended for intermediate to advanced programmers.

Summary: Wish every software would have such a how to book
Review: Not many books are available for Borland C++ Builder (compared to MS Visual C++ and MFC). And as there's not so much to choose from, one has to be happy with what exists. This book has an interesting form that I personally didn't find in other computer software related books - it's divided into problems and answers. Each problem-answer consists of a question, exact programming steps to solution and explanation of the solution. The book covers many programming topics, like forms, windows controls, internet, database, custom controls, etc., etc. All solutions are presented in such way that you can freely combine them together. You just implement all that would suit your particular needs in your projects. The book is well structured, so you can find what you're looking for easily. I find the book VERY readable and easy to understand (I have 2 years of Visual C++ and MFC programming practice and have recently switched to BCB) and I find myself browsing through the pages just reading the contents "offline" many times. And every time I run into something cool, something that will just have to be implemented in my next project... There are few examples, where not all code is covered in the book - you can get it complete on the included CD. I also found some examples that are based on older version of BCB (I use BCB4), so I had to find the corresponding commands in the menu. But nonetheless I still think it's really a good book and I only wish every software would have a similar how-to book...
