Indy 10 - Indy in Depth has now been split and has been updated for Indy 10. The Indy 9 book is also provided for your use as well, however all new updates are going only into the Indy 10 version.

It's an e-book!

Indy in Depth is distributed as an e-book because in this day and age, paper books become out-dated too quickly. Distributing as an e-book allows you to receive frequent updates, and fast world wide delivery. Indy in Depth is distributed as a watermarked Adobe Acrobat PDF.

Indy in Depth is sold on a subscription basis. This means that when you purchase you receive the book as it is at that time, plus you have a right to all updates during the term of your subscription. Since it is an electronic book, you never have to be out of date as it is continually updated and expanded. The book itself never expires. The subscription refers only to the time period which you receive free updates. Books that you have received will never expire.

What does it cover?

The focus of this book is on the core components such as TCP client, TCP Server, command handlers, building protocols, etc. The current focus is not on the actual protocols but basic content for such is now being added.

A change log (and RSS feed) is also available to see the history of the book, recent changes, rate of change and more.

Indy in Depth is constantly under construction and currently contains 371 pages including bonus materials. But not to worry - Indy in Depth is an e-book and updates are only a download away! Each month at minimum a few new Indy related pages are added.

Bonus Materials

The book is also scheduled in the future to contain many bonus chapters on other topics such as box testing, development methodologies, database design and more. All of these will be provided at no additional cost. For a list of bonus materials, please check the online table of contents.

Broken Internet Links

Internet URL's are contained and linked in the book in some places. Currently some of them are scrambled and do not work properly. This is an issue with the PDF output mechanism and we are working with the vendor of the PDF engine to fix this.
