Overview of this book

Delphi is the most powerful Object Pascal IDE and component library for cross-platform native app development. It enables building natively compiled, blazingly fast apps for all major platforms including Android, iOS, Windows, Mac, and Linux. If you want to build server-side applications, create web services, and have clear GUIs for your project, then this book is for you. The book begins with a basic primer on Delphi helping you get accustomed to the IDE and the Object Pascal language and will then quickly move on to advanced-level concepts. Through this book, we’ll help you understand the architecture of applications and will teach you the important concepts of the FireMonkey library, show you how to build server-side services, and enable you to interact with the Internet of Things. Towards the end, you will learn to integrate your app with various web services and deploy them. By the end of the book, you will be able to build powerful, cross-platform, native apps for iOS and Android with a single code base.

Objects 3D

There are different 3D objects that we can use in our Delphi FireMonkey apps. From really simple ones, such as TStrokeCube or TGrid3D, that just render a few lines in 3D space, to more complex components that maintain their own vertex and index buffers for drawing complex geometries with triangles. This is a typical approach for rendering arbitrary geometries in 3D apps, for example mobile games, and it requires quite a lot of coding.

At the lowest level, all 3D objects inherit from the TControl3D class that introduces location and transformations in 3D space. It also adds interactivity to all 3D controls by implementing different mouse events that are translated to touch events on mobile targets. These user events have different parameters that give to application code the information about where such an event happened in 3D space, which can be very useful.
