Section 1: Programming Power

This section introduces Delphi as a powerful programming tool for fully embracing cross-platform development, explains why it's so much more than just a legacy Windows compiler, and helps get you up to speed with the latest IDE and language enhancements that accelerate development and decrease the time to market. This foundational knowledge sets the stage for the rest of the book, helping you to navigate the IDE, write efficient code, drop to the command line if you need, and become familiar with new programming constructs.

This section comprises the following chapters:

• Chapter 1, Recent IDE Enhancements
• Chapter 2, Delphi Project Management
• Chapter 3, A Modern-Day Language
