C++Builder4 Unleashed is written by Kent Reisdorph, Charlie Calvert, Bruneau Babet, and a host of other well known programmers. BCB4 unleashed is probably the most advanced C++Builder book on the market. It covers topics that most other books tend to shy away from, such as threads, NT service programs, the TRichEdit control, COM, how to automate Word and Excel, C++ templates, and internet programming. The resumes of the people who produced BCB4 unleashed are impressive. The contributors to BCB4 Unleashed include 3 TeamB members, 5 present or past employees of Borland, 4 authors of previous Delphi or C++Builder books, and 5 programmers who present seminars at the annual Borland Conference.
BCB4 Unleashed is without a doubt, an advanced level book. Beginning C++Builder programmers may want to read the Teach Yourself books from Kent Reisdorph before reading BCB4 Unleashed.
