The book is divided into four parts:

• Part I, "Foundations," introduces new features of the Delphi 7 Integrated Development Environment (IDE) in Chapter 1, then moves to the Delphi language and to the run-time library (RTL) and Visual Component Library (VCL). Four chapters in this part provide both foundations and coverage of the most commonly used controls, the development of advanced user interfaces, and the use of forms.
• Part II, "Delphi Object-Oriented Architectures," covers the architecture of Delphi applications, the development of custom components, the use of libraries and packages, modeling with ModelMaker, and COM+.
• Part III, "Delphi Database-Oriented Architectures," covers plain database access, in-depth coverage of the data-aware controls, client/server programming, dbExpress, InterBase, ADO, DataSnap, the development of custom data-aware controls and data sets, and reporting.
• Part IV, "Delphi, the Internet, and a .NET Preview," first discusses TCP/IP sockets, Internet protocols and Indy, then moves on to specific areas like web server-side extensions (with WebBroker,
  WebSnap, and IntraWeb), and finishes with XML and the development of web services.
