Delphi High Performance

By: Primož Gabrijelčič

Overview of this book

Delphi is a cross-platform Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that supports rapid application development for Microsoft Windows, Apple Mac OS X, Google Android, iOS, and now Linux with RAD Studio 10.2. This book will be your guide to build efficient high performance applications with Delphi. The book begins by explaining how to find performance bottlenecks and apply the correct algorithm to fix them. It will teach you how to improve your algorithms before taking you through parallel programming. You’ll then explore various tools to build highly concurrent applications. After that, you’ll delve into improving the performance of your code and master cross-platform RTL improvements. Finally, we’ll go through memory management with Delphi and you’ll see how to leverage several external libraries to write better performing programs. By the end of the book, you’ll have the knowledge to create high performance applications with Delphi.

Chapter 9. Best Practices

This book has covered lots of different topics. I believe that, right now, it has all become a big mess from which you can only remember bits and pieces. I know I can't handle it all in my head at this moment. There's just too much information packed inside.

To help you remember as much as possible, this last chapter will revisit all the topics of the book, chapter by chapter. I'll repeat the most important ideas from each chapter, while you can just relax and remember all the details. For good measure, I'll throw in some additional tips, tricks, and techniques that didn't find a place in the "regular" chapters.
