Because my work and my life are quite intertwined, many people have been involved in both, and I wish I had enough space and time to thank them all as they deserve. As it has for many other programmers, Delphi (and its Linux twin, Kylix) has been my primary interest throughout these years and writing, consulting, teaching, and speaking at conferences about Delphi have absorbed more and more of my time, leaving other languages and programming tools in the dust of my office. This seventh edition of Mastering Delphi follows the seventh release of a Delphi development environment by Borland, a revolution started in the winter of year 1994. Manufactured in the United States of AmericaĪ friend the Italian Delphi community prematurely lost.
