Comments This book convers both Delphi 2 and 1. In practice, it started out as a 16-bit Delphi book, and the 32-bit stuff was added lateron. The title indicates that the book is for "experienced programmers", but this is a bit too much. The book has a lot of topics for beginners and the depth of most topics is just not deep enough to justify an "advanced" label (and no, recursion is not an advanced programming technique - page 203). The book has very limited database coverage. There are topics and places (nuts and bolts) of the book that are of value, and generally, it's no more than a good intermediate book for some Delphi topics.
