The Best Delphi Books

["Tom Cathey" <K1JJ@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Everyone -

I am about to order some Delphi books from Amazon. Out of about 30 or so,
the ones listed below appear to be the best....

I wonder if anyone can recommend which of these would be the best choice for
an intermediate Pascal programmer....also do you know of better ones out
there?

1) Delphi 4 Developer's Guide - Xavier Pachera

2) Mastering Delphi 4 - Marco Cantu

3) Sams Teach Yourself Delphi 4 in 21 Days - Kent Reisdorph

4) Delphi 4 Bible - Tom Swan (I have a Turbo Pascal book by him - it's quite
good)


BTW, if anyone has any basic routines already written for Delphi that will
do  basic charting and/or  interface to the real time  Master Server SDK
....I could use a head start...it's a long road to write all of this from
scratch and I would surely appreciate any help getting there!


Thanks.
