Mastering the undocumented features of Delphi is essential for writing top quality Delphi components and applications. Secrets of Delphi 2 provides the clear, in-depth information experienced Delphi programmers need. -- Covers Delphi 2 in depth, without neglecting those still using Windows 3.X and Delphi 1 -- Reveals the secrets of easy porting between 16- and 32-bit versions of Delphi -- CD-ROM contains all the examples, code, resources, bitmaps, and complete working code examples.

With a new name and a new focus on CORBA, database drivers, and Microsoft Back Office applications, Inprise/Borland Delphi is enjoying a resurgence, with a growing user base of programmers who use Delphi for rapid development of enterprise computing applications. Not to rest on success, the latest version of Delphi, Version 5, includes further expansion and refinement of the 3-tier application framework introduced in Delphi 4 and has resulted in a prize-winning product. Delphi in a Nutshell is the first concise reference to Borland/Inprise Delphi available. It succinctly collects all the information you need in one easy-to-use, complete, and accurate volume that goes beyond the product documentation itself. Delphi in a Nutshell starts with the Delphi object model and how to use RTTI (Run Time Type Information) for efficient programming. The rest of the book is the most complete Delphi Pascal language reference available in print, detailing every language element with complete syntax, examples, and methods for use. The book concludes with a look at the compiler, discussing compiler directives in depth.

The STL Pocket Reference describes the functions, classes, and templates in that part of the C++ standard library often referred to as the Standard Template Library (STL). The STL encompasses containers, iterators, algorithms, and function objects, which collectively represent one of the most important and widely used subsets of standard library functionality. The C++ standard library, even the subset known as the STL, is vast. It's next to impossible to work with the STL without some sort of reference at your side to remind you of template parameters, function invocations, return types--indeed, the entire myriad of details you need to know in order to use the STL effectively and get work done. You need a memory-aid. Books that cover the standard library and the STL tend to be quite heavy and large, describing each aspect of the STL in detail. Such books are great when you're not familiar with the library, but get in the way when you simply need to remind yourself of a function name, or the order in which you pass arguments to a function. Programmers familiar with the STL need a small, lightweight memory-aid. That's what the STL Pocket Reference is. It's small, lightweight, and chock-full of information that you can take in at a glance, so you can get on with your work.

C++ In a Nutshell is a comprehensive reference for the C++ language and its runtime library. As a C++ programmer, understanding the subtle aspects of the language is crucial. The C++ standard defines not only the language but also a runtime library that includes containers, iterators, algorithms, strings, exceptions, I/O, and more, which constitutes a significant part of C++'s definition. Mastery of both the language and the library is essential for successful programming in C++. However, memorizing the intricate details of the language and all the library headers, class definitions, and member functions is nearly impossible. This is where C++ In a Nutshell proves invaluable. The content adheres to the ISO/IEC 14882 standard, including Technical Corrigendum 1. It features Backus-Naur Form syntax diagrams, concise usage information, and clear examples for all C++ statements and keywords. The latter half of the book focuses on the C++ runtime library, organized by header file, detailing functions, macros, classes, and other entities. Whether you need a refresher on declarations, template programming, or key aspects of the runtime library, the reference chapters provide essential information. Think of this book as a "force-magnifier," enhancing your programming effectiveness by offering quick access to definitions and usage for both the standard library and C++ language elements.
