If you are a Delphi programmer wanting to learn .NET, this is the book, July 16 2006

This review is from: .NET 2.0 for Delphi Programmers (Hardcover)
As someone who used to use Delphi almost all the time, I hate to admit that in order to stay employable today, I'm having to know and use .NET. If you find yourself in the same situation, and you want a fast-track to .NET 2.0, then this book is at the top of the list.
It's the single most used book in my collection today when it comes to .NET.
At first, I read it cover to cover. It's not hard reading like some books can be, and it made sense to me since I know Delphi.
But with Jon's writing style, it's organized in a way that I reach for it when I need a quick reference as well.
It comes with special tidbits about the inner workings of the CLR, which I always find fascinating.
I keep it at the front of my bookshelf. I've had other programmers that C++ guys come by and ask to use it. So you don't need to know Delphi to make good use of it. Borland C++ Builder users will find it an easy read as well since Builder is built on Delphi.
Five thumbs up for this one. Well done Jon!

The best way to go from Delphi to Net Framework. Use the Delphi skill to learn Net.
