*Supports Multiple Formats

Provides a comprehensive guide to the language and core non-visual libraries of Embarcadero Delphi XE2, from basic language syntax to multithreading. Adopting an integrated approach, the book covers both newer and older features alongside one another; while it won't teach you how to program, it assumes little Delphi knowledge specifically. Includes coverage of XE2's support for Mac OS X. (Edition note: the printed version combines the three parts of the eBook version, which is available separately.)

I find stuff much faster in this book. Searching the online API library seems kind of hit or miss. Nothing beats a good old fashioned table of contents / index combination. I only turn to the online resource if I can't find it in the book. Poor title isn't enough to deduct from my rating, this is a solid book.

Some reviewers deducted stars for no VCL, FMX, or Live Bindings coverage. That's understandable because the books title gives the impression the book covers the IDE. An IDE book would cover Live Bindings because that's implemented by the IDE as well as the visual component libraries, VCL and FMX. A book on core language features will NOT cover VCL or FMX. The VCL and FMX are not specific to the Delphi language. I encourage prospective buyers to click on the book's picture and read the table of contents to ensure it contains what they are looking for. This analogy may not be the best but it's like Stroustrup's C++ book titled "The C++ Programming Language" in that it covers the basic syntax, types, OOP, etc. and then goes on to cover the parts of the RTL the author deemed most relevant. Not even Stroustrup's book could cover the entire C++ STL but he covered what he thought should be covered. Yes, this book has some typos but not as many as Stroustroup's last book....lol. Typos are the biggest reason I didn't give this book 5 stars. Edit the book better, change the title to clarify what it covers and publish a second edition and it will be a five star book. Delphi books are few in number and I believe this is the best Delphi 'language reference' published in the past 10 years.

Title: Not the right title
Date: Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2013
Review: I bought this book after buying Delphi XE4 (and having been away from Delphi - in C - for more than ten years). The title suggested to me an 'upgrade' from my old 'Mastering Delphi 6' book, but I think that 'Foundations' is not quite the right title. Yes you will find Delphi (Pascal) fundamentals, OOP, IO streams, Packages etc, but nothing on VCL or Firemonkey 'foundations'.

While my 'Mastering Delphi 6' still provides most of the Delphi XE4 basics, there some significant additions/changes etc in Delphi XE4, which I found very hard to get information on. In my mind 'Language Basics' and 'OOP review' either do not belong in a book of this title OR all the other significant items (such as controls) need to be covered too.

But don't get me wrong. This is still a great book with much useful information. Carefully 'Look Inside' before you buy and decide if that is what you are looking for when buying a Foundations book.

If you need to bone up on various aspects of Delphi (as I did after many years of abstinence), you may also wish to consult 'Mastering Delphi 6'. Yes it's old, but most of it still applies.

Title: Delphi XE2
Date: Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2012
Review: This book provides excellent coverage of the Delphi Pascal language with numerous code examples. Although it is entitled "Delphi XE2 Foundations", I don't really see that it has that much to do with Delphi XE2 specifically other than to cover some of the new additions to the language. The author concentrates on the language itself, so don't expect an in depth discussion of the IDE, and it does not cover the new Fire Monkey framework at all. Most of the code will work in some older versions of Delphi as well, but the author does not always point out which code will work in older versions and which won't. Still, if you are a newcomer to or even have considerable experience in the Delphi Pascal language, I think it is the best and most detailed compendium of information on Delphi Pascal that I have seen all together in one book, covering virtually every aspect of the language.

Title: A long over-due book, very well written, going to be classic
Date: Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2012
Review: This is a very well written Delphi book, good as a desktop reference, and for experience users to catch up with the latest XE2 version.

As a "Foundations" book, it doesn't touch much on the IDE features, but it contains some advanced topics as well. The style somewhat reminds me of another good Delphi book, i.e, "Delphi in a Nutshell". Both are written in the formal, concise and academic style. Probably this is not the starting book for Delphi beginners with 0 experience.

Given there are not many good Delphi books since 1990s, this book, with more than 600 pages definitely worth more than 5 stars. I believe it is very reasonably priced compare to Dr. Bob's expensive coursewares (which are also good fairly speaking given no other Delphi books but it is really really expensive).

Looking forward to this author's more books. Hats off to him.

Title: Excellent book with plenty of detail
Date: Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2012
Review: We're experienced Delphi developers who are thoroughly familiar with Delphi 2007 and earlier. Moving up to XE3 we thought it might be an idea to buy a book or two for reference and I'm glad we did. (Yes I know the book is XE2 not XE3 but its as close as we could find!).

The book has great coverage of Delphi concepts but what most impressed us was the level of detail it drills down into. New features are explained well but better still there is often a good discussion of opportunities and problems that arise from the new functionality.

Reading the book thoroughly is genuinely useful, not just for learning about newer versions of Delphi but also because of the trial and error time avoided in working out the quirks and best ways of using the new tools.
