Don't miss Nick's Random Thoughts on the Passing Scene #58 where he mentions that the February Help Update for CodeGear Developer Studio 2007 and Delphi 2007 for Win32 has been released.
If you're looking for a bit of information on the installation process Dr. Bob has already posted Help Update 2 for RAD Studio 2007 (Feb08) on his blog which contains some information you will want to read.
[the easiest way to keep up on all this is to stop by DelphiFeeds frequently - if you don't already]
I've had a browse around the new help file and was actually fairly impressed with it although I did notice a few spots where there is still improvement to be had. Having said that though, it's all pretty subjective. If you follow Nick's Blog [and you should] you'll have read about some significant shortcomings neophytes are having in getting up to speed with Delphi in the comments posted on Random Thoughts on the Passing Scene #57. Would the improvements [supposing they had access to D2007] meet their needs? I expect there is still work to be done to get to that point. Me, I liked what I saw -but- the problem with that is, I've gotten used to not using the help system so it's hard to actually see what's been improved. With what I've seen, I expect that will change and I'll become a little more reliant on the F1 key again.
Keep up the good work CodeGear!
Edit:
The install will create a folder under your "My Documents" called "Rad_Studio_Help_Downloads" where it stores the 317MB [in my case] of files. I guess it's OK to delete ... I'm going to.
