David has been building custom software solutions of all kinds for over 30 years. Starting with Turbo Pascal in the late 80's, he's used all versions of Borland and Embarcadero's Object Pascal to write software for the Education, Finance, Healthcare, Real Estate, and Retail industries. He's programmed in C/C++, .NET, built websites in Drupal, and written PowerShell scripts to manage Windows servers. But he keeps coming back to Delphi as the best all-around tool for creating great software--and now for nearly all platforms!

In addition to programming, David has a great family, loves to go camping and hiking, ride his motorcycle, and play tuba or bass guitar when the opportunity arises. He lives near Portland, Oregon, in the Pacific Northwest of USA, about half way between Mt. Hood and the Pacific Ocean.

Fearless Cross-Platform Development with Delphi

Fearless Cross-Platform Development with Delphi

22/10/2021

David Cornelius

Delphi is a strongly typed, event-driven programming language with a rich ecosystem of frameworks and support tools. It comes with an extensive set of web and database libraries for rapid application development on desktop, mobile, and internet-enabled devices. This book will help you keep up with the latest IDE features and provide a sound foundation of project management and recent language enhancements to take your productivity to the next level.

You’ll discover how simple it is to support popular mobile device capabilities such as sensors, cameras, and GPS. The book will help you feel comfortable working with FireMonkey and styles and incorporating 3D user interfaces in new ways. As you advance, you’ll be able to build cross-platform solutions that not only look native but also take advantage of a wide array of device capabilities. You’ll also learn how to use embedded databases, such as SQLite and InterBase ToGo, synchronizing them with your own custom backend servers or modules using the powerful RAD Server engine. The book concludes by sharing tips for testing and deploying your end-to-end application suite for a smooth user experience.

By the end of this book, you’ll be able to deliver modern enterprise applications using Delphi confidently.
