Please specify if you know any other languages (and skill level, if any) or is Delphi your first language?

Since you've worked with Turbo Pascal and VB, you're off to a pretty good start. Delphi's Form Designer works similar to VB (IMHO a lot better than VB actually, with a lot more components). The code syntax is a lot like Turbo Pascal, so you shouldn't have much trouble adapting to Delphi syntax.
As for good starting books, I've always thought Charlie Calvert's Delphi books are great for beginners. I don't think he has one out for Delphi 6 or 7, but most of the stuff he mentioned in his book for Delphi 4 still hold true for the later versions.
