Learning Path Mastering Delphi Programming: A Complete Reference Guide Learn all about building fast, scalable, and high performing applications with Delphi

Key Features

• Delve into the core patterns and components of Delphi to enhance your application's design
• Learn how to select the right patterns to improve your program's efficiency and productivity
• Discover how parallel programming and memory management can optimize your code

Book Description

Delphi is a cross-platform Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that supports rapid application development for most operating systems, including Microsoft Windows, iOS, and now Linux with RAD Studio 10.2. If you know how to use the features of Delphi, you can easily create scalable applications in no time.

This Learning Path begins by explaining how to find performance bottlenecks and apply the correct algorithm to fix them. You'll brush up on tricks, techniques, and best practices to solve common design and architectural challenges. Then, you'll see how to leverage external libraries to write better-performing programs. You'll also learn about the eight most important patterns that'll enable you to develop and improve the interface between items and harmonize shared memories within threads. As you progress, you'll also delve into improving the performance of your code and mastering cross-platform RTL improvements.

By the end of this Learning Path, you'll be able to address common design problems and feel confident while building scalable projects.

This Learning Path includes content from the following Packt products:

1. Delphi High Performance by Primož Gabrijelčič

Primož Gabrijelčič started coding in Pascal on 8-bit micros in the 1980s and he never looked back. In the last 20 years, he was mostly programming high-availability server applications used in the broadcasting industry. A result of this focus was the open sourced parallel programming library for Delphi—OmniThreadLibrary. He's also an avid writer and has written several hundred articles, and he is a frequent speaker at Delphi conferences where he likes to talk about complicated topics, ranging from memory management to creating custom compilers.

Primož Gabrijelčič在1980年代開始使用Pascal編程8位元微型機，並且從此一直沒有回頭。在過去的20年中，他主要編寫用於廣播行業的高可用性伺服器應用程式。在這個專注的結果之下，他開源了用於Delphi的並行編程庫——OmniThreadLibrary。他也是一位熱衷於寫作的作家，已經撰寫了數百篇文章，並且經常在Delphi會議上發表演講，喜歡談論從記憶體管理到創建自定義編譯器等複雜的主題。
