Improve this question

Can anyone recommend some decent resources for a .NET developer who wishes to get a high level overview of the Delphi language?

We are about acquire a small business whose main product is developed in Delphi and I am wanting to build up enough knowledge to be able to talk the talk with them.

Books, websites etc all appreciated.

Thanks.

Just a trivia -- Anders Hejlsberg, the chief architect of Delphi, is also the lead architect of C#. — Jon Limjap

DelphiBasics gives a good overview of basic syntax, library functions etc.
Essential Delphi is a free e-book by Marco Cantu that should give a good overview, also of the VCL

Feel free to ask around here as well, or in the Delphi newsgroups, if you encounter specific issues :)

[edit] @Martin:

There's a free "Turbo" edition available at the Codegear/Embarcadero website. I guess it has some limitations, so you could also try downloading the trial version.

There's also a Delphi wiki
This even has a "Beginning Delphi" page with lots of external links on it. (some of them already mentioned)

http://www.delphifeeds.com/ is a good place to start, it has most news about what is going on in the delphi community.

@Martin there is a free version.

Turbo Delphi

If you are comfortable with c# you will see many similarities with Delphi.

I also found the community surrounding the newsgroups to be active and helpful. They have a smilar concept to MVPs they were called Team B (but as Borland doesn't own them the name may have changed now).
