Visual Developer Developing Custom Delphi 3 Components: Master the Art of Creating Powerful Delphi 3 Software Components

Writing software is no longer about building monolithic, do-it-all applications: high-output programmers know the benefits they can derive from using others' objects and, to an even greater extent, creating their own reusable components. Developing Custom Delphi 3 Components is a comprehensive how-to manual for Delphi 3 programmers who want to build robust components that they--or other programmers--can reuse time and again. Konopka builds up to this task by explaining Delphi's object model and giving an overview of the component building process; although the book assumes a fair amount of familiarity with Delphi, it never fails to provide a conceptual framework and explain why you would or wouldn't want to use various techniques. Whether you want to build your own Delphi components from scratch or simply extend existing components for your own purposes, Developing Custom Delphi 3 Components has the information you need to produce professional results.
