The so called wiki website that is the current effort is, at best, almost adequate if you don't want much out of it - but still a shadow of the quality found in the D1 and D2 help files. The D1 and D2 docs were the last time Borland/CodeGear/Embarcadero really cared about decent documents.Īfter that, it went downhill FAST - First with the quality dropping so far even the quickstarts were filled with errors so bad you couldn't actually do what they said (no one sat down and tried to follow the instructions before the major print I guess) to erata in the chapters was even worse.Īnd books dropped off the radar as the price skyrocketed until eventually there were no books, useless helpfiles and the Delphi team acting like we were ungrateful bastards if we voiced complaints about it. If we could only get EMBT to create an updated version of this Delphi classic!
