Except that half of it seems to have nothing to do with Delphi 8. For example, the sections on interfaces, basic types and typecasting all seem to be describing Win32 Delphi. The section on interfaces describes the "implements" keyword, which sadly doesn't seem to work in Delphi 8. Typecasting seems to return nil in Delphi 8 if you cast to the wrong type, which is a major improvement over the old Win32 behaviour of blowing up quai-randomly -- but I can't find this documented in the PDF. Some of the PDF is helpful, but much of it is grossly misleading.
