http://www.codegear.com/article/37673/images/37673/D400%20for%20PHP%20Dev%20Guide.pdf 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. -- -Brion There's no such thing as 'one, true way;' - Mercedes Lackey
