What You Will Learn
Develop visually stunning applications using FireMonkey
Deploy LiveBinding effectively with the right OOP approach
Create server-side programs to serve RESTful web services and provide data to your mobile apps
Use well-defined GUI design patterns to build mobile applications that provide a great user experience
Build mobile apps that read data from a remote server efficiently
Call the platform native API on Android and iOS even for an unpublished API
Manage software customization for your customer by making better use of an extended RTTI
Implement the most popular design pattern without wasting too much time on debugging and bug fixing
In Detail
Delphi is a cross-platform Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that supports rapid application development for Microsoft Windows, Apple Mac OS X, Google Android, and Apple iOS. It helps you to concentrate on the real business and save yourself the pain of wandering amid GUI widget details, or having to tackle inter-platform incompatibilities. It also has a wide range of drag-and-drop controls, helping you code your business logic into your business model, and it compiles natively for desktop and mobile platforms.
This book will teach you how to design and develop applications, deploy them on the cloud platform, and distribute them within an organization via Google Play and other similar platforms.
You will begin with the basics of Delphi and get acquainted with JSON format strings, XSLT transformations, unicode encodings and various types of streams. We then move on to more advanced topics such as developing higher-order functions and using enumerators and RTTI. You will get an understanding of how Delphi RTL functions and how to use FireMonkey in a VCL application. We will then cover topics such as multithreading, using the parallel programming library and putting Delphi on a server. We will also take a look at the new feature of WebBroker Apache modules and then ride the mobile revolution with FireMonkey.
By the end of the book, you will be able to develop and deploy cross-platform applications using Delphi.
Style and approach
Delphi Cookbook is an easy-to-follow guide, rich with hands-on examples of real-world programming tasks in Delphi.
