This book presents .Net from a Delphi programmer's viewpoint. It presents the core concepts of the .Net world in terms of the concepts a Delphi programmer is already familiar with. It is designed to help today's Delphi programmers not only adopt to Delphi for .NET, but also to C# if that is their preference.

It is best to consider the book as the Delphi equivalent of a migration book. We already have migration books for VB6 programmers moving to .NET, and C++ programmers moving to .NET. This book is for Delphi programmers moving to .NET

Good coverage of C# as well as Delphi for .NET Not a part of a Delphi book tightly focused on what's new which includes the FCL overview that you need to make sense of the Microsoft documentation Particularly clear and well-written
