Don't reinvent the wheel! Many programmers ignore what the big Delphi RTL can offer them. Some old-time Delphi lovers continue to write code in the same way they wrote it years ago. New language features and better attention to the community let Embarcadero add many useful classes in the Delphi RTL, and if you don't know them well, you risk reinventing the wheel or simply writing inefficient code because you don't have the time to write it correctly. But often, the correct way to write code is just in the RTL! To minimize such risks, in this chapter we'll introduce some new or lesser known RTL classes.

Overview of this book
Delphi is a cross-platform integrated development environment (IDE) that supports rapid application development on different platforms, saving you the pain of wandering amid GUI widget details or having to tackle inter-platform incompatibilities.
Delphi Cookbook begins with the basics of Delphi and gets you acquainted with JSON format strings, XSLT transformations, Unicode encodings, and various types of streams. You’ll then move on to more advanced topics such as developing higher-order functions and using enumerators and run-time type information (RTTI). As you make your way through the chapters, you’ll understand Delphi RTL functions, use FireMonkey in a VCL application, and cover topics such as multithreading, using aparallel programming library and deploying Delphi on a server. You’ll take a look at the new feature of WebBroker Apache modules, join the mobile revolution with FireMonkey, and learn to build data-driven mobile user interfaces using the FireDAC database access framework. This book will also show you how to integrate your apps with Internet of Things (IoT).
By the end of the book, you will have become proficient in Delphi by exploring its different aspects such as building cross-platforms and mobile applications, designing server-side programs, and integrating these programs with IoT.
