Key benefits

  • Delve into the FireMonkey framework and explore its powerful capabilities
  • Enhance the user experience by using various technologies included in Delphi and FMX
  • Boost developer productivity through the cross-platform capabilities enabled by the framework

Description

FireMonkey (FMX) is a cross-platform application framework that allows developers to create exciting user interfaces and deliver applications on multiple operating systems (OS). This book will help you learn visual programming with Delphi and FMX. Starting with an overview of the FMX framework, including a general discussion of the underlying philosophy and approach, you’ll then move on to the fundamentals and architectural details of FMX. You’ll also cover a significant comparison between Delphi and the Visual Component Library (VCL). Next, you’ll focus on the main FMX components, data access/data binding, and style concepts, in addition to understanding how to deliver visually responsive UIs. To address modern application development, the book takes you through topics such as animations and effects, and provides you with a general introduction to parallel programming, specifically targeting UI-related aspects, including application responsiveness. Later, you’ll explore the most important cross-platform services in the FMX framework, which are essential for delivering your application on multiple platforms while retaining the single codebase approach. Finally, you’ll learn about FMX’s built-in 3D functionalities. By the end of this book, you’ll be familiar with the FMX framework and be able to build effective cross-platform apps.

Who is this book for?

This book is for Delphi developers who are looking to discover the full potential of the FireMonkey framework in order to build interactive cross-platform GUI applications and achieve an optimal UI/UX. Basic familiarity with Delphi programming and the VCL will be beneficial but not mandatory.

As a Delphi Developer mainly in the Windows VCL world I found this book to be highly instructive and informative on how to expand my capabilities to XE cross platform world. I have 20 years in the Delphi VCL world and have not made the jump to expanding to other platforms. This book certainly gives a detailed road map by explaining FireMonkey's controls and how they differ from the VCL controls in a way an experienced Delphi developer would understand. It also gives a very good explanation of the FireDac controls in how they are used in database world which was welcome for me as I started with BDE and do a lot in the ADO world which is a dead end to expanding to the Cross Platform world as it is tied to Windows. Overall a great Delphi book that should be in any Delphi Developers arsenal.
