They’re not new, and they’re not exclusively Delphi … but it’s too late … you can’t stop me! :zany_face:

FREE BOOKS by BETRAND MEYER, including the classic Object-Oriented Software Construction, 1997.

So, the book is in english or not?
:slight_smile:

Which book are you asking about ?
(There is one listed above in, I think, Portuguese … )

I hit the reply button. I thought it will quote the original post.

So, I am talking about this one:
‘A Good IF is a Dead IF’ (‘IF bom é IF Morto’) - Thulio Bittencourt

Yeah, it’s from Brazil.

I think I used Google Translate for the Table of Contents.

Sounds like a good book (from the ToC). Too bad it is not available in English.

I’ll be reviewing this book shortly. I have a copy as do a couple of others. It’s a great book - nearly two inches thick and packed with info.

THE DELPHI WAY - David Buch

Hi All

I am pleased to announce the release of my new book, THE DELPHI WAY — a complete teaching book on modern

Delphi, covering Object Pascal, FireMonkey, pas2js, and PostgreSQL, out in paperback and Kindle.

81 chapters across 12 parts, plus 5 appendices. 1,200 pages, 7 by 10 inch trim, professionally typeset. A runnable Delphi 13 project for every code-bearing chapter — open the project,press F9, see the concept working.

The book covers:

-– Object Pascal from first principles, with the rules and patterns the rest of the book builds on

-– The full VCL and FireMonkey stack for native cross-platform applications

-– pas2js for compiling the same Pascal codebase to JavaScript — one language, every platform

-– PostgreSQL functions, the type system, and the patterns for server-side logic

-– Architecture, project structure, error handling, and the productionising work that turns a working prototype into something a team can run.

Written for:

-– Working Delphi developers who want a structured reference for the full stack

-– Software developers from other languages looking at Delphi for cross-platform work

-– New developers who want to learn a strongly-typed language with rules, structure, and runnable examples

Ohhh if he had got in touch I would have offered to write a foreword or a cover note for him (and given technical editor/review assistance if he wanted it - he might not).

I’ll try and remember to promote it.

He should also submit it to www.delphi-books.com

Where did he post his original announcement?

“Across 81 chapters”

WTH…

Is this AI produced? 3k+ pages. Interesting. If that is all manual it is INCREDIBLE.

Wow!

That blows my mind.

It was a fb post … https://www.facebook.com/groups/137012246341854/posts/27232284499721262/

Cost : Physical book AU$120 … Kindle AU$40

Table of Contents …

I also ordered the book. It was just delivered and returned.

BIG DISAPPOINTMENT !

At first glance the package is very impressive. Open the pages and “(%)&(” _ honestly I struggled to actually read the pages. The publisher has squeezed the font so small (at a guess 6) so they could cram everything into the whopping ~1100 pages (60mm thick).

The only way I could possibly use this book is with a magnified reader or a PDF version.

I did consider the Kindle version for $42 - but with a one * rating from one review.
