Delphi Advanced

Delphi has been around since February 1995 and is a widely used development IDE with the base language of Object Pascal. Today, 29 years later, version Delphi 12 Athens is the latest version. The IDE and language integrated with the debugger make it very easy to develop large-scaled robust desktop applications, as well as applications for mobile devices. This course has focused on desktop application development for Windows and Mac OSX but also touch base on creating mobile apps.

Goal and benefits

This two-day course will take you in depths of the Delphi/Pascal programming language using both the traditional VCL framework and the added framework Firemonkey. By utilizing Firemonkey you will learn how to program and build an application that will compile for Windows, Mac, Android and iOS. As well as get a deeper knowledge of the Pascal language and its capabilities.

• New features in the VCL framework
• Introduction to the Firemonkey framework
• Deep dive introducing new components and functions to optimize your Delphi development
• How to obtain and install 3rd party components
• Add target platforms such as Mac OSX, Android and iOS
• Introduction to some more advanced data structures like generics.

The major objective to the course is to give you enough knowledge and hands-on experience to be able to build object-oriented programs with some advanced features and get the applications running on desktops and mobile using the same codebase.

Summary

When the course is finished you will have a very good understanding of how to use Delphi to build multithreaded applications and talking to multiple databases. The client in this case can run on Windows, Mac OSX, iOS or Android. Note: This is not a course in mobile development, though a few tip about creating mobile apps will be shown.
