Borland(r) Delphi 6 Developer's Guide is a new edition of the #1 best-selling Delphi book by authors Steve Teixeira and Xavier Pacheco. Steve and Xavier are of the winners of the Delphi Informant Reader's Choice Award for both Delphi 4 Developer's Guide and Delphi 5 Developer's Guide.

Borland(r) Delphi 6 Developer's Guide is completely updated for Delphi 6 and includes in-depth coverage on Borland's new CLX architecture, DBExpress Applications, SOAP, CORBA, WebSnap and BizSnap features. It continues as a complete reference and authoritative guide to the newest version of Delphi.

You hold in your hands the fifth edition in the Delphi Developer’s Guide series, and the product
of literally thousands of man-hours over more than seven years of programming, writing,
and refinement. Xavier and Steve were members of the original Delphi team at Borland, and
this work is the outlet through which they can share their fifteen-plus years of combined experience
developing software in Delphi. In Delphi 6 Developer’s Guide, we have striven to hold
true to the spirit that has made the Delphi Developer’s Guide series perhaps the world’s most
read Delphi books and two-time winner of the Delphi Informant Reader’s Choice award. This
is a book by developers, for developers.

The intent of Delphi 6 Developer’s Guide is to supplement and build on the Delphi Developer’s
Guide series. Ideally, we would have loved to include all the updated content form Delphi 5
Developer’s Guide and all the new content in one book, but Delphi 5 Developer’s Guide was
already thick enough to stretch the technical limitations of modern book binding. In order to
provide enough space to give proper coverage of the entire Delphi 6 feature set, we opted
to publish a new book with new information.
