i placed my order on sep 8th 2002, i have sent them 3 emails to check the status of the order. they have not answered one of them. do not buy anything through bookwizardus, that is my advice. spare yourself a bad experience.
Summary: Highly recommend for beginners
Rating: 4
Although this book is a little outdated,if you are beginner with Boland C Builder,this book is just for you.
It provides the fundamentals of C Builder much enough.
If you finish reading it, I recommend “C Builder HowTo” as second step.
PS. Day19, which explains DLL, is exceptionally bad, because some sample codes is not able to compile on BCB5.
See “C Builder5 Developer’s Guide”.
Summary: Alright only for beginners
Rating: 3
This book is ok for beginners to introduce them to the BCB environment, but it does not teach you the c language. It will not take you a long time to learn BCB and after a while you will wonder why you spent so much money for a book that really doesnt teach you that much.
Summary: Great Book - I’ve read it cover to cover twice
Rating: 5
This is a Great Book. I’ve had it I guess for 2-3 years and have read it cover to cover twice and just recently finished it the second time. Like most computer books, it is thick book with a lot of information in it. If you want to learn how to program in C and use the Borland BCB RAD, this book is what you should consider. I really cannot say anything negative about this book that is worth writing - its a very good and easy to read survey of C Builder 3 and is applicable to BCB 4 which I have also.
Most of the reviews here are generally positive and I think that the negative points are minor. Mastering a RAD device like C Builder is *not* something you will accomplish in one reading - there is just so much there. After reading this book, you should definitely be able to program in C and develop applications using C Builder - AND then you will have enough background to learn more. Your second book then should be the “Unleased” book or the “Developers” book. I found that my second reading opened up a better understanding of C classes and uses of the VCL (Visual Component Library - i.e. the use of Edit controls, DBGrid controls, data base Tables, etc.).
No book is an end all on a subject like this - but this is *definitely* the book you want to launch yourself from basic familarity to no familarity of BCB all the way up to being able to write some impressive C GUI applications using this marvelous RAD environment.
My observation - Borlands C Builder is much easier to master, and more productive when you are doing your programming versus the more cumbersome VC . If you consider the Microsoft product over BCB, do it only because you favor Visual C not on its merits but instead on the influence that Microsoft has on the marketplace.
