Books Part 3 - This Time It's Personal

"So many books, so little time."
-- Frank Zappa

I've written about the resurgence of new Delphi books before (here and here). Since then, I am pleasantly surprised to find even more, including new publications, updates and some that I missed, several of which are free e-books.

If you know about any other recent Delphi books, please let me know in the comments.

Published



Delphi Cookbook - Second Edition

by Daniele Teti

Over 60 hands-on recipes to help you master the power of Delphi for cross-platform and mobile development on multiple platforms

A great follow-up to the previous edition.

Dependency Injection in Delphi

by Nick Hodges
This book covers Dependency Injection from A to Z. In it you'll learn about Constructor Injection, Property Injection, and Method Injection. You'll learn about the right and wrong way to use the Dependency Injection Container.
 
I was lucky enough to preview this book as it was being written. Just like Nick's previous two books, I found it informative and a good read with excellent examples. More importantly, I learned things that will change some of my development habits, even if I don't wind up using a dependency injection container.



MVVM in Delphi

by John Kouraklis

Dive into the world of MVVM, learn how to build modern Windows applications, and prepare for cross-platform development. This book introduces you to the right mindset and demonstrates suitable methodologies that allow for quick understanding of the MVVM paradigm.
