Delphi Cookbook. 2 ed

What you need for this book

 This book talks about Delphi, so you need it. Not all the recipes are available in all the Delphi editions. Typically, the mobile projects can be compiled only if you have Delphi Enterprise or higher (or Delphi Professional plus the mobile add-on, or RAD Studio professional or higher). All the projects are compiled and tested with the latest Delphi version at the time of writing, but many recipes can be compiled also on older versions.

 If you want to run the mobile app on a phone or a tablet, you could use the Android emulator or the iOS simulator, but we strongly suggest an actual device to see how the app really behaves. To deploy an iOS app on your device, you also need an Apple computer with MacOSX.

 Who this book is for

 This book aims to help the professional Delphi developers in their day-to-day job. This book will teach you about the newest Delphi technologies and its hidden gems. It is not a book for a newbie, but the practical approach will help you reach a new level with your Delphi skills. The experienced developer can benefit from this book because nontrivial problems are solved using best practices. Where more than one way is available or the topic is too broad to be explained in the available pages, references are provided to allow you to go deeper in that field. It is a book to have on your desk for the next few years.
