Delphi 32-Bit Programming Secrets

You can get pretty far knowing just the basics of Delphi 2.0, Borland's feature-rich, visual programming development system. But to create software that's powerful and truly efficient, you need to know a few secrets. In Delphi 32-Bit Programming SECRETS, authors Tom Swan and Jeff Cogswell reveal techniques and features you may not even know exist. You'll find out about Delphi's new optimized code compiler and object-oriented capabilities. Here you'll get answers to your questions on everything from Object Pascal and 32-bit resource management to database engines and multithreading. And to put some real power in your hands, the authors have included a disk containing 32-bit component and unit libraries; components for print preview, zoom control, and control-panel applet construction; units for memory management, property information, and printing; and complete source code for the book's projects and the new components.

To Get to the Good Stuff, You've Got to Dig a Little Deeper...
