Books on designing and implementing a Delphi application
I would like to broaden my Delphi horizons by reading a book about `creation of Delphi applications`. So far I have read books about Delphi mostly from *Marco Cantu (Delphi 6-2009)* or *The Tomes of Delphi Algorithms and Data Structures*.

But none of them describe the process of application creation from the beginning to end. Somewhere you see usage of design patterns, customized data structures or language specifics. But I cannot find a book which I would take as a **reference in application development**. Sure there are many hints and howtos on specific problems, there are also open source applications in delphi, from which one can learn a lot.

Are there books, which would guide a programmer in the process of creating advanced desktop Delphi applications? 

With

 - strong
 - scalable
 - modular
 - decoupled 

source code at the end?
