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 a Facebook REST API

Still talking about social networks, Facebook is undoubtedly the largest one. With more than 2 billion active users in 2018, it had twice the number of users of Instagram and WhatsApp. Curiously, Facebook owns both. Do not be surprised if a new social network belongs to billionaire Mark Zuckerberg.

This chapter will transcend the boundaries of Delphi; you will have to interact with the Facebook platform.

Initially, you will be introduced to Facebook's development platform in order to create an application on the social network. This application will be used to perform the integration between Delphi and Facebook.

You will then learn about Representational State Transfer (REST) concepts and the JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) standard. Basically, we will traffic a file or text in JSON format to a REST server, using the Facebook API.

Finally,...
