rbaroniunas said Some sections were good but overall the book does not deliver. Some sections were good but overall the book does not deliver. The translation from German to English is one thing but referring to components to be used with Firemonkey is dumb, what happens if someone cannot afford the components needed for the demos. The books should have been about using FMX and what is provided to you and NOT what you can purchase to make the demos work.The price is outrageous for a printed book and does not compare well with Delphi Cookbook which is much better.. Cellulaer Dweller said Good Source Of Tips, Tricks, and Workarounds For Delphi XE7 On Windows And Mac OSX. This book contains tips, tricks, and workarounds for building cross platform apps for Windows and Mac OSX using Delphi XE7. Additionally, it describes the differences between the VCL framework and the FMX framework. The book is originally written in German and it shows but at the same time it is still easy to understand. This book is not about compilers and obscure language features. This book is geared towards Windows developers beginning cross platform development on the Mac using the single code . Published without revising. Disappointed consumer This book has potential however, it seems that the English grammar it a direct translation of German to English through an automated translator program. There are many orthographical and grammatical errors that alter the meaning of what the author is trying to say making this book confusing to read. I consider this book as a version 0.1 for the English version that needs a complete revision before it reaches the version 1.0 good for first publication.
