Delphi in Depth: ClientDataSets 2nd Edition

This book is invaluable if you work extensively with ClientDataSets in Delphi.

Die völlige Unfähigkeit von Borland/CodeGear/Embarcadero nützliche und verständliche Dokumentationen herauszubringen machen die Arbeit mit einer der mächtigsten Entwicklungsumgebung für DB-Clientprogrammierung manchmal zu einer echten Qual.Das Buch von Cary Jensen bringt da echt Licht ins Dunkel und zwar nicht nur für Anfänger.

For people programming with Delphi as a hobby (like myself) this is one of those books you wish you had bought before. You can't do without it in relation with databases. This guy should write more books, more often and not only about databases as his style is nice to read and very interesting to follow his expositions.I improved and enjoyed Delphi a lot more with this book. It really have opened my eyes wide.I thank Cary Jensen for his work and give it the maximun mark.Now I ask Cary to write a similar book with Firebird database server in mind. I will be an all round final step.I look forward to see Cary using Firebird... It will be nice.Greetings from Ibiza.

A good revision to an already very useful book. Happily, Jensen does not again use the BDE (which I felt was a mistake in the earlier volume, despite his reasoning.) The discussion of the ClientDataset benefits, as well, from the addition of FireDAC to the mix. They are similar, but different, and comparing them helps to illuminate the benefits of both.

If you're using Delphi, there's a good chance it's in order to build an application that works intensively with data. And if you're going to do that, then you will benefit from good thinking about the ClientDataSet.Cary Jensen not only covers this topic thoroughly, his topic sequence and writing are both well organized and a pleasure to read.
