Marco Cantù – Mr. Delphi Book
January 6th, 2009
If you’ve been doing Delphi development as long as me, then you’ll know about Marco. Way back in the days before the internet (about 10 years ago), they used to have places called libraries and bookshops. These were our only source of information and reference for Delphi programming tips and advice. Nowadays of course, things have changed alot and most of us rely soley on google and the web. Occasionally, during my never ending search for more Delphi info, I land on Marco’s site. Usually brought to it because google picked-up a code-snippet from his latest book. I’d really like to know who buys them these days. Hat’s off to Marco for all those early years of knowledge!
Thanks for the reference to my site. I’ve sold over thousand copies of the recent book on Delphi 2007 and hope to hit the same number for the (larger) 2009 volume.
There are still many people who prefer printed material… and in any case CodeGear is distributing the ebook version of my recent volumes… and I earn from them as well.
Marco, thank you for your comment. Your books are great and I wish you the very best with your new book. It’s also good to read that CodeGear are distributing eBook versions of your books. I’ll look out for these.
Martin.
