does the new Delphi IDE (2009) come with some documentation ? (kind of like the MSDN with VS).
where can you get it ? (want to have a look at it)
is the documentation good ?
i picked up a copy of Delphi in 21 days . is it good for beginners in Delphi ?
It's all available from the Embarcadero website here: http://docs.embarcadero.com/products/rad_studio/ in CHM (WinHelp) / PDF / HTML format. (I don't know whether it's any good or not.)
There is a public wiki which was started sometime back by Nick Hodges (the then product manager of Delphi). Not sure about the quality of contents though!
About the book: It is not exactly answer of your question but try grabbing Mastering Delphi by Marco Cantu. Its really the best book I have read on Delphi.
One cool thing about Delphi 2009 is that they load the summary tags written above each function in the hint you get when you mouse over your source. It's the same thing you'd get if you hit F1, but that saves a click and a wait.

Can any one suggest me any library in javascript(client end) document editor where user can view and edit the documents like doc, docx, odf etc.
I have tried webodf but it doesn't support doc/docx. Also, it's not getting implemented properly as editor.
Any suggestions are welcome.
Your best bet is to look for converters, and then edit the converted content.
I've been looking for a working solution now for a couple of weeks, and the best I've found to date is docx2html.
Depending on your development platform you might also want to Google 'ONLYOFFICE Document Server Community Edition'. They have in page editors for Word, Excel and Powerpoint - but they're asp. It's an open source platform and available on Github. Might be worth a look though.

I am desperately looking for a QR Code component to generate QR Code. So far the only method I have found is through Google API chart but I need an offline method.
http://theroadtodelphi.wordpress.com/2010/12/06/generating-qr-codes-with-delphi/
I cannot find any component, free or not, that can generate QR code. Any idea?
Thanks!
The company I work for has released an open source (Apache License v2) Delphi QR barcode generator called DelphiZXingQRCode. It's a Delphi port of the QR code functionality from the ZXing barcode image processing library.
Here we go:
http://www.han-soft.com/barcode2dgen.php
(source: han-soft.com)
I just aksed Google. First hit, basically.
It is available as a VCL component, here:
http://www.han-soft.com/barcode2d.php
Just discovered (months late, however) ZINT. A Pascal wrapper for this exists here. This is free, open source.
Another one is at http://www.java4less.com/barcodedelphi/barcodesdelphi.php
I just bought it this week, and took about 1 hour to incorporate QR code generation into my app (and it's pure Delphi code: no DLL).

I've found several posts on hubFS of people asking if there is, or will be, offline documentation for F#. These posts haven't been answered. So I want to give it a shot and ask the same question here on SO.
Where I've looked for offline documentation so far:
The April 2010 CTP release of Visual F# (version 2.0) is available for VS 2008, but it comes without an offline help.
There's a question on SO about offline documentation for various programming languages, but F# isn't mentioned there at the time of this writing.
There is of course Microsoft's F# language reference documentation (available on MSDN), which could be downloaded for offline browsing using e.g. wget.
Question:
Does anyone know whether any "official" offline documentation is on the way, anytime soon?
(And related to this, even tough it might be hard to answer objectively: Would it be reasonable to expect that F# won't undergo ECMA or ISO standardization, ie. there likely won't be a standards document describing the language?)
Doesn't directly answer the question but the F# language specifications are here:
F# 3.0 (PDF, HTML)
F# 2.0 (PDF, HTML)
These links are taken from the F# team blog post "Updated F# Language Specification for F# 3.0 Now Available".
Apparently, it is now: https://github.com/Microsoft/visualfsharpdocs
I'm hoping this will easily convert to a Dash docset or that there's some local-hosting solution for snappy offline indexing and search.

Could anyone can tell me where I can find full ASP.NET MVC beta documentation?
A few good places to start:
http://www.asp.net/learn/mvc/
http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2007/10/14/asp-net-mvc-framework.aspx
http://www.asp.net/mvc/
I would expect full documentation to be more available at release time.
MVC is also open source and is on CodePlex, so you can just look through the source of course.
Project is here: http://www.codeplex.com/aspnet and here: http://www.codeplex.com/MVCContrib
Documentation is here: http://www.codeplex.com/MVCContrib/Wiki/View.aspx?title=Documentation&referringTitle=Home
You can find it on MSDN site here ASP.NET Model View Controller (MVC)
http://www.asp.net/mvc/ would be the most logical place to start looking.
There is a book coming out through Manning press. It's not published yet but you can download the juicy stuff through their early access program. If you want a lot of info in one place it might be a good bet.

I want to use a "spin button control" (also known as an up-down control) in my Delphi Win 32 application (I'm using Delphi 2007).
The aim is to have a control that looks like in Microsoft Office:
image of up/down control in Powerpoint. http://img167.imageshack.us/my.php?image=updownzn8.png
I found this on the Microsoft website: CSpinButtonCtrl Class
But I haven't so far found a control that uses this class - here's where I've been searching:
The SpinEdit control in Delphi looks well... not so good, and doesn't seem to use the official Microsoft control
The JVCL classes have their own implementation
A Google search did not return any results (except some home-brew up/down controls)
I couldn't find something in the Jedi API as well
Can somebody please point me to where I can find a Delphi implementation of the common spin control from Microsoft, or how I can do that myself?
Have a look at TUpDown. It wraps the Win32 control.
Raize Components Raize.com have a nice one
TMS Software do a wide range of components including spin edits (fancy an iPhone style one!) and I have found their support through the newsgroups to be excellent.
