I’ve been around Delphi since the very beginning. I was lucky enough to be

invited onto the beta after being a long-time member (on CompuServe!) of the

Borland Pascal community. Somewhere in my basement is still a copy of

“Wasabi” -- an early code name for Delphi -- on floppy disks. Can you imagine

delivering Delphi on floppies today?

Anyway, Delphi was a revelation. Real, compiled code done in a RAD way. I was at

the launch event on February 14, 1995, in San Francisco. People were ten deep in

the Borland booth watching demos. There was a considerable commotion as

people waited to get a free CD with a pre-release copy on it. Jaws dropped at the

evening demo when Delphi gracefully recovered from a General Protection Fault.

It made a huge splash, and soon was one of the dominant tools in the

marketplace.

Why? One word: Productivity.

You could simply build things faster with Delphi. Start adding the flood of native,

built-in-Delphi components that soon followed, and you were running circles

around the C++ and VB developers. You could build great-looking, sophisticated,

data-accessing Windows applications with ease. Many business applications

were made, many companies were founded, and many ISVs released outstanding

products -- all because of Delphi.

Delphi was productive because it was designed that way. It was designed to make

it easy to use, easy to build components for it, easy to use those components, and

generally easy to do things that used to be really hard. The people who designed

Delphi used it themselves, and so were driven to make it productive and capable.

After all – they benefitted just like we all did.

And that’s what Alister’s book is all about: productivity. How do you use Delphi

to be better, faster, stronger? How do you get what is in your head out and into

the Code Editor faster? How do you leverage what the tool provides to make

things better? What is Code Insight all about? Read this book and you’ll know.

You’ll learn about keyboard shortcuts and productivity hacks and useful RTL

classes and a whole lot more. It’s a long stream of productivity goodness.

I’m a book author too. I know how much work it takes to write and publish a

book. Take it from me. This is one of the good ones.
