Create modern yet effective multi-platform applications by building interactive UIs following a single codebase approach to boost productivity Key FeaturesDelve into the FireMonkey framework and explore its powerful capabilitiesEnhance the user experience by using various technologies included in Delphi and FMXBoost developer productivity through the cross-platform capabilities enabled by the frameworkBook Description FireMonkey (FMX) is a cross-platform application framework that allows developers to create exciting user interfaces and deliver applications on multiple operating systems (OS). This book will help you learn visual programming with Delphi and FMX. Starting with an overview of the FMX framework, including a general discussion of the underlying philosophy and approach, you’ll then move on to the fundamentals and architectural details of FMX. You’ll also cover a significant comparison between Delphi and the Visual Component Library (VCL). Next, you’ll focus on the main FMX components, data access/data binding, and style concepts, in addition to understanding how to deliver visually responsive UIs. To address modern application development, the book takes you through topics such as animations and effects, and provides you with a general introduction to parallel programming, specifically targeting UI-related aspects, including application responsiveness. Later, you’ll explore the most important cross-platform services in the FMX framework, which are essential for delivering your application on multiple platforms while retaining the single codebase approach. Finally, you’ll learn about FMX’s built-in 3D functionalities. By the end of this book, you’ll be familiar with the FMX framework and be able to build effective cross-platform apps. What you will learnExplore FMX’s fundamental components with a brief comparison to VCLAchieve visual responsiveness through alignment capabilities and layout componentsEnrich the user experience with the help of transitions and visual animationsGet to grips with data access and visual data bindingBuild exciting and responsive UIs for desktop and mobile platformsUnderstand the importance of responsive applications using parallel programmingCreate visual continuity through your applications with TFrameStand and TFormStandExplore the 3D functionalities offered by FMXWho this book is for This book is for Delphi developers who are looking to discover the full potential of the FireMonkey framework in order to build interactive cross-platform GUI applications and achieve an optimal UI/UX. Basic familiarity with Delphi programming and the VCL will be beneficial but not mandatory.

With a new name and a new focus on CORBA, database drivers, and Microsoft Back Office applications, Inprise/Borland Delphi is enjoying a resurgence, with a growing user base of programmers who use Delphi for rapid development of enterprise computing applications. Not to rest on success, the latest version of Delphi, Version 5, includes further expansion and refinement of the 3-tier application framework introduced in Delphi 4 and has resulted in a prize-winning product.Delphi in a Nutshell is the first concise reference to Borland/Inprise Delphi available. It succinctly collects all the information you need in one easy-to-use, complete, and accurate volume that goes beyond the product documentation itself.Delphi in a Nutshell starts with the Delphi object model and how to use RTTI (Run Time Type Information) for efficient programming. The rest of the book is the most complete Delphi Pascal language reference available in print, detailing every language element with complete syntax, examples, and methods for use. The book concludes with a look at the compiler, discussing compiler directives in depth.

Memory management. One of the most basic parts of software development, often kept on the side even though it has the most profound effect on how we write our code. Delphi provides a variety of types with their own memory management logic, as well as two sets of compilers that provide different memory management systems for classes. * Classic Delphi compiler currently supported on Windows and OSX platforms - using manual memory management while providing ARC for certain types. * Next generation ARC Delphi compiler supported on mobile Android and iOS platforms, as well as Linux - using full ARC - Automatic Reference Counting memory management system. Each memory management system has its good and bad sides. Each offers solutions to some problems, but creates a whole range of other problems. And each requires slightly different coding patterns and practices. Knowing the strengths and weaknesses and understanding how memory management system(s) work goes hand-in-hand with writing clean, bug-free and maintainable code. Both compilers are covered in detail, as well as coding patterns required for writing cross-compiler code that must run under both. From manual memory management, to garbage collection, different memory management systems differ not only by the general category they fall in, but also by implementation. And all those fine implementation details also have a great impact on actual code. From the perspective of the everyday software development process discussing memory management is impossible without discussing its specific implementation in specific languages and toolsets.
