Overview of this book

Delphi is a strongly typed, event-driven programming language with a rich ecosystem of frameworks and support tools. It comes with an extensive set of web and database libraries for rapid application development on desktop, mobile, and internet-enabled devices. This book will help you keep up with the latest IDE features and provide a sound foundation of project management and recent language enhancements to take your productivity to the next level. You’ll discover how simple it is to support popular mobile device features such as sensors, cameras, and GPS. The book will help you feel comfortable working with FireMonkey and styles and incorporating 3D user interfaces in new ways. As you advance, you’ll be able to build cross-platform solutions that not only look native but also take advantage of a wide array of device capabilities. You’ll also learn how to use embedded databases, such as SQLite and InterBase ToGo, synchronizing them with your own custom backend servers or modules using the powerful RAD Server engine. The book concludes by sharing tips for testing and deploying your end-to-end application suite for a smooth user experience. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to deliver modern enterprise applications using Delphi confidently.

There are other capabilities of mobile devices we did not explore, such as setting appointments and alarms, auto-answering certain phone calls, tracking your speed and elevation while moving, or vibrating the phone. The information you've learned in this chapter should be a springboard to learning more advanced features and helping you understand how to utilize other related services that you discover.

This chapter also leads nicely into the next, where we continue to work with unique device features, exploring how to put our code onto credit-card-sized computers, communicate with Bluetooth...
