System Objects' Delphi/400 Dev Guide, especially in Tutorial section 6, is 
an excellent standard which CodeGear should strive to emulate.

Components are explained, not just by what they do, but why, and what 
common things you'd want to do with them.  The tutorial is long enough, 
and meaty enough, to be meaningful.  That kind of thing should be included 
in the OLH, not buried somewhere in a directory.

Granted, the pdf refers to projects included with the software for more 
reference on "how to do xxx".

I miss the samples and such from Delphi <= 7.  I also acknowledge that 
reading a .pdf will flow much differently than F1 help.  But boy oh boy, 
Delphi could benefit from shipping some .pdfs like this.

Clearly organize "how to develop web applications" as a .pdf.  Compare and 
contrast "VCL for the web" (or whatever intraweb is being remarketed as) 
vs. webbroker vs. asp.net, then show us how to do it the right way, giving 
us the other options along the way.

Set up another .pdf for Client Server applications, Multi-tier 
applications, etc.

Verbose tutorials are needed.
