This book will help you Code Faster in Delphi through a vast array of tips, tricks and hacks to squeeze every bit of productivity out of yourself and the Delphi IDE.

Don't touch that mouse! Hands on the keyboard, and eyes front. You're about to embark on a Bootcamp to tone your coding muscles, sharpen your shortcuts, fix forms faster, and accelerate your career as a Delphi Programmer.

Now drop and give me twenty lines of code and five laps of that while loop.

This book will help you Code Faster in Delphi through a vast array of tips, tricks and hacks to squeeze every bit of productivity out of yourself and the Delphi IDE.

This is a book all about writing Delphi code. It's not about the VCL or database access. It's just about how to use the language in the most effective way to write clean, testable, maintainable Delphi code. It covers a variety of powerful Delphi programming features and techniques including Generics, Interfaces, Exception Handling, Anonymous Methods, Collections, RTTI, Enumerators, Attributes, Dependency Injection and Unit Testing.

This book is all about the cool, new code you can write with Delphi. It won't matter whether you are building a VCL or an FM application. I've titled it "Coding in Delphi" because I want to make it a book that shows you simple examples of how to use powerful features -- that, is about the *code*. These language features are indeed advanced features -- they are new relative to, say, the `case` statement -- and thus many of you are beginners to them. By the end of this book, you won't be. What you will find are ways to make your code much cleaner, much more powerful, and way easier to maintain.

"More Coding in Delphi" picks up where "Coding in Delphi" left off, continuing to illustrate good, sound coding techniques including patterns, Aspect Oriented Programming and programming for the Parallel Programming Library.

Outline:

• Six Thoughts on Coding Before We Start
• Writing SOLID Code
• DuckTyping
• Aspect-oriented Programming
• Observer Pattern
• Adapter Pattern
• Decorator Pattern
• Command Pattern
• Factory Pattern
• Multi-Threading and Parallel Programming
• Things Nick Does in Code
• TSmiley

Delphi and Electron for Desktop Plattforms

When businesses choose a software framework they begin a long-term relationship for the duration of their application’s lifecycle. Given the strategic consequences of this decision, businesses must carefully consider how frameworks enhance developer productivity, business functionality, application flexibility, product performance, the long-term viability of that framework, and the inherent security in each framework’s design and technology. The ideal framework demonstrates strength in each category by minimizing product time-to-market, reducing maintenance costs, supporting product variety, and facilitating a superior customer experience.

This paper evaluates two frameworks supporting multi-platform desktop application development: Delphi and Electron.

In order to assess these frameworks, this paper defines four evaluation categories and 26 metrics, defines and analyzes a benchmark application, and scores each framework using a weighted evaluation. The benchmark, an RSS reader, assesses each frameworks’ ability to create an application for multiple desktop operating systems and provides insight into framework performance differences between operating systems.

This newly updated 500-page eBook for Delphi 11 Alexandria is a complete guide to the current, modern Object Pascal programming language by best-selling Delphi books author and Delphi Senior Product Manager, Marco Cantú.

It's a manual for new and existing Object Pascal developers and covers, among other things, the following:

The world of software development thrives on innovative concepts like Object Orientated Programming (OOP), Agile Development, Continuous Integration (CI), DevOps, Low-Code, Enterprise & Micro Services, UI / UX design, and many more.

There is arguably one key concept behind many of these buzzwords, one that has seen a huge resurgence in recent times. It continues to heavily influence the modern tooling and processes used in software development today, and is now being claimed by a broader set of products covering a host of innovative approaches. That term is Rapid Application Development (RAD).

With big software firms like Microsoft, Google, Apple, Amazon and Salesforce, to name just a few, all evangelising RAD approaches, this paper will explore how RAD is evolving, and how RAD Studio® today continues to innovate tooling and frameworks and supports the latest development practices and protocols.

The first requirement for any software house is to build the internal capabilities that allow them to rapidly reach the customer with the user experience expected. Once they can target their customers devices, they can then plan and develop the applications and architectures to base their business upon.

To be clear, this paper isn’t here to talk about internal development practices, because regardless of your approach to development, the aim is the same: To ensure your apps compile, are secure, run and look good on your customers systems. Instead, this paper will look at the market trends that are important to maintaining the internal capabilities for delivering software to end users.

This whitepaper evaluates three frameworks for Windows application development - Delphi, Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) with the .NET Framework, and Electron.

API services are the foundation of modern distributed applications. Today, microservices are the basis of modern application architectures. Instead of a monolithic and cumbersome software, the entire functionality is distributed among manageable subsystems. The resulting services are then typically provided via the Internet and RESTful APIs.

Read in this technical whitepaper how you can work with RAD Studio and RAD Server from the Client to the backend and reduceg the time-to-market.
