Summary
In this chapter, we covered all the project types and target platforms Delphi 10.4 supports—and some starting templates to jump-start the development of a cross-platform application. With powerful build configurations, you can apply sets of options quickly and launch external tools for certain conditions to save steps after the compilation process. Additionally, you learned how to easily manage a group of projects. With built-in version control, you seldom need to leave the IDE. But if you have unattended build processes that run on a regular basis, you learned that Delphi even supports that paradigm with command-line parameters for the unattended compilation of any project type.
In the next chapter, we'll build on these concepts by reviewing the language syntax of Delphi and noting several important additions over the years that have laid the foundation for building modern cross-platform applications.
