Delphi Programming Projects

Overview of this book

Delphi is a cross-platform programming language and software development kit that supports rapid application development for Microsoft Windows, Apple Mac OS X, Android, and iOS. With the help of seven practical projects, this book will guide you through the best practices, Delphi Run-Time Library (RTL) resources, and design patterns. Whether you use the Visual Component Library (VCL) or FireMonkey (FMX) framework, these design patterns will be implemented in the same way in Delphi, using Object Pascal. In the first few chapters, you will explore advanced features that will help you build rich applications using the same code base for both mobile and desktop projects. In addition to this, you’ll learn how to implement microservice architecture in Delphi. As you get familiar with the various aspects of Delphi, you will no longer need to maintain source code for similar projects, program business rules on screens, or fill your forms with data access components. By the end of this book, you will have gained an understanding of the principles of clean code and become proficient in building robust and scalable applications in Delphi.

Building Microservices Using the RAD Server

Microservices, or microservice architecture, is a systems architecture style that structures a solution as a collection of superficially coupled services that implement business features and facilities.

In a nutshell, microservices are a way to develop a solitary application as varied services. Each service runs in its own process and delivers the information through fluid mechanisms, frequently through an HTTP API.

Thinking about services the service-oriented architecture (SOA) and Software as a Service (SaaS), we will use RAD Server as an application server for our microservice architecture and build a solution as a set of independent services.

In this last and final chapter, you will see the following topics:

  • What is a microservice architecture?
  • Introducing RAD Server
  • Consuming services on RAD Server
  • Securing
  • Deploying
