I can recommend this book to every Delphi programmer who wants to extend his knowledge on cross platform development. Every chapter is worth reading, starting from the new IDE features I didn't hear about before. It saved me hours of work. The only disadvantage - it does definitely not blame the author - it is not a timeless book. Some things have changed and are different in recent Delphi (Android, iOS) releases. One chapter is missing that I was expecting: A detailed description how to change the used Android API level is not part of the book. Looking forward for a reissue.

Fearless Cross-Platform Development with Delphi has treasure trove of information contain over 500 pages. I applaud the author, there are code examples, step by step instructions, images and my favorite questions and further reading sections at the end of each chapter. One can tell that the author is enthusiastic about his subject matter, this was a pleasure to review. I used Delphi 10.4 Community Edition while reviewing, due to time constraints I only reviewed sections 1, 2 and 3. In addition, if the subject matter was not Windows and/or Android I skipped over those sections.I can highly recommend this book and would give it 4 stars; My one suggestion would be to move section 1 to the end but before Assessments.
