Good on ya, mate!

- or a shout-out for Alister Christie's new book: Code Faster in Delphi.

I just got a chance to review the first of a series of new books about Delphi from Alister Christie, and even if it is a short book - 160 pages - it is perfect and on the spot - looking forward to the next in the series.

You can get the book here: https://leanpub.com/codefasterindelphi - just take a look at the Table Of Content - a lot of great stuff.

Alister Christie has been doing his LearnDelphi.tv for many years - and his 150+ short videos are always to the point - on topic and precise - at least those I have seen :)

And speaking of video - watch his promotional video for the book - always fun and this one has WordStar bits :)

I will get my dead tree version as well - even if shipment cost probably will exceed the price of the book - but I want this nice books content and cover on my bookshelf.

Speaking of cover - as a little bonus I found this on 99designs: https://99designs.dk/book-cover-design/contests/code-faster-delphi-book-1018068 - so if anyone has a potential writer in them, this shows one process of getting a nice cover selected.

It has been more than 25 years since I last wrote a book - even if self publishing and cover contents are now a thing - it is not a trivial task - as I remember it, so well done - and thanks.

/Enjoy Alister's new book.
