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.

Summary

Congratulations! Thank you for getting here. Our last and longest chapter in this book has addressed the concepts of microservices and how to work with them using RAD Server.

At the beginning of the chapter, you learned a little about microservice architecture and what it is, and what a monolithic application consists of. Now think about how the knowledge gained in this chapter can help you modularize your applications and empower your users.

Faced with this scenario, factors such as scalability, performance, availability, and productivity are important points to consider when building an application. In order to achieve that end, these concepts have been discussed and new ways of organizing computer systems have been put into practice, leaving aside traditional forms of developing an application, as is the case with monolithic applications, whose profiles do not always...
