Print: $33.57

In this paperback about Database Development with Delphi, I'll cover the Borland Database Engine, dbGo for ADO, dbExpress and TClientDataSet. I'm using Paradox, MyBase and SQL Server for the example application, which is built for each data access technology, including data conversion and migration.
Finally, for Delphi 2007 developers, I've added a special introduction section on DBX4 and the new features in this latest release of the dbExpress data access framework. Plus coverage of Blackfish SQL usage.
The appendices discuss the Decision Cube (still useful) and using .ini files as data storage.
The information in this paperback can be used with all versions of Delphi, although ADO needs Delphi 5 or higher, dbExpress needs Delphi 6 or higher, DBX4 is only part of Delphi 2007 (or higher), and Blackfish SQL came with Delphi 2007 for Win32 R2 and CodeGear RAD Studio.

The Delphi 2006 ASP.NET 1.1 Advanced Web Development courseware manual is no introduction to ASP.NET, but shows how to build and deploy a small but real-world ASP.NET application with Delphi 2006. As prerequisite, I recommend my Delphi 2006 ASP.NET v1.1 Web Development courseware manual.
The ASP.NET application contains a welcome page, a page for customer registration, and a login page (for authentication and authorization). The shop pages will show the shop items in a searchable and sortable DataGrid, plus a detail page where the item details are shown, and finally a shopping cart (which is also persistent after the session has been closed) with e-mail capabilities for completing the order. A bonus chapter shows how to extend the ASP.NET web application with AJAX techniques, and describes the use of custom HTTP handlers and modules.
The manual consists of 130+ pages, including exercises and answers in the back.
