  • The code is explained in detail with observations on how to create native apps for Ios and Android with a single code base

Description

Delphi is the most powerful Object Pascal IDE and component library for cross-platform native app development. It enables building natively compiled, blazingly fast apps for all major platforms including Android, iOS, Windows, Mac, and Linux. If you want to build server-side applications, create web services, and have clear GUIs for your project, then this book is for you. The book begins with a basic primer on Delphi helping you get accustomed to the IDE and the Object Pascal language and will then quickly move on to advanced-level concepts. Through this book, we’ll help you understand the architecture of applications and will teach you the important concepts of the FireMonkey library, show you how to build server-side services, and enable you to interact with the Internet of Things. Towards the end, you will learn to integrate your app with various web services and deploy them. By the end of the book, you will be able to build powerful, cross-platform, native apps for iOS and Android with a single code base.

Who is this book for?

If you want to create stunning applications for mobile, desktop, the cloud, and the Internet of Things, then this book is for you. This book is for developers who would like to build native cross-platform apps with a single codebase for iOS and Android. A basic knowledge of Delphi is assumed, although we do cover a primer on the language.

Simply the best Delphi book in the market and the only one you need to master in the development of movil apps with a very understable English for a foreign language.Definitely Delphi continues to be one of the best programming language and books of this level will always be welcomed. As title say, this is not an introductory book in object pascal. If it is your case, look for Marco Cantu's book and then make expert yourself with this one.I know you are not in this world anymore Pawel, but I thank you for this book anyway.

Good book; already very useful. Well-organized and covers major topics in a way that is easy to understand. Website not so much. It is very difficult to navigate, find pertinent links (which don't point to the right stuff a lot of the time), and the worst part is they are trying to sell you something on every page instead of helping you with what you've bought. Least helpful website for any tech book I've bought recently.Will probably not buy from this publisher again. 5 stars for book, 2 stars for website.
