Delphi Advanced

Delphi has been around since February 1995 and is a widely used development IDE with the base language of Object Pascal. The IDE and language integrated with the debugger make it easy to develop large-scale, robust desktop applications and applications for mobile devices. This course has focused on desktop application development for Windows and Mac OSX but also touches on creating mobile apps.

Goal and benefits

This two-day course will take you into the depths of the Delphi/Pascal programming language using both the traditional VCL framework and the added framework Firemonkey. By utilizing Firemonkey, you will learn how to program and build an application that will be compiled for Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS. As well as get a deeper knowledge of the Pascal language and its capabilities.

• New features in the VCL framework
• Introduction to the Firemonkey framework
• Deep dive introducing new components and functions to optimize your Delphi development
• How to obtain and install 3rd party components
• Add target platforms such as Mac OSX, Android and iOS
• Introduction to some more advanced data structures like generics.

The major objective of the course is to give you enough knowledge and hands-on experience to build object-oriented programs with some advanced features and get applications running on desktops and mobile using the same codebase.

Audience/Participants
This training is aimed at programmers who want a thorough and sound introduction to some advanced areas of Delphi and programming in Delphi. The training will be held in English, as will the training material.

Previous knowledge
The course requires at least some experience in Delphi. You must be able to build an object-oriented application. Please see the course “Delphi Basic”

Practical exercises
Throughout the course, there will be a mix of theoretical teaching (projector and whiteboard) and practical exercises, with as much hands-on as possible. Training material will be sent electronically in advance to the training.

Trainer
The course is created and held by Jens Fudge. Jens has 29 years of experience with Delphi and arranging the training. Due to his deep knowledge of Delphi, Embarcadero promoted him to Delphi MVP. Jens is on the Danish Delphi users group Dapug board and in charge of getting speakers to the bi-annual Workshop. The training is in English, and the training material is in English.

Summary
When the course is finished, you will have a very good understanding of how to use Delphi to build multithreaded applications and talk to multiple databases. In this case, the client can run on Windows, Mac OSX, iOS, or Android. Note: This is not a course in mobile development, though a few tips about creating mobile apps will be shown.
