DeerSoft, Adonis, or Borland ???

I've been trying to learn Adonis.
I'm getting there, but it's slow... very ... ve-ry ... s-l-o-w...
I'm new to ADO and there is no Adonis tutorial.

I'm looking at Deer-Soft. It's free so probably there
won't be much help there either.

I've heard that Borland has an add-on component for
Delphi 5 Professional... Does anyone know if that is true?

So basically, I need advice... or direction.

Stick with Adonis and grudge it out... ?
Jump to Deer-Soft... ?

Thanks, Craig.
