The Developer’s Guide describes intermediate and advanced development topics, such as building client/server database applications, creating Internet Web server applications, and writing custom components. It allows you to build applications that meet many industry-standard specifications such as SOAP, TCP/IP, COM+, and ActiveX. Many of the advanced features that support Web development, advanced XML technologies, and database development require components or wizards that are not available in all editions of Delphi.
The Developer’s Guide assumes you are familiar with using Delphi and understand fundamental Delphi programming techniques. For an introduction to Delphi programming and the integrated development environment (IDE), see the Quick Start manual or the online Help.
