Build fast, scalable, and high performing applications with Delphi About This Book * Build efficient and concurrent applications in Delphi with focused examples * Identify performance bottlenecks and apply the correct algorithm to increase the performance of applications. * Delve into parallel programming and memory management to optimize your code Who This Book Is For This book is for Delphi developers who would like to build high performance applications with Delphi. Prior knowledge of Delphi is assumed. What You Will Learn * Find performance bottlenecks and easily mitigate them * Discover different approaches to fix algorithms * Understand parallel programming and work with various tools included with Delphi * Master the RTL for code optimization * Explore memory managers and their implementation * Leverage external libraries to write better performing programs In Detail Delphi is a cross-platform Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that supports rapid application development for Microsoft Windows, Apple Mac OS X, Google Android, iOS, and now Linux with RAD Studio 10.2. This book will be your guide to build efficient high performance applications with Delphi. The book begins by explaining how to find performance bottlenecks and apply the correct algorithm to fix them. It will teach you how to improve your algorithms before taking you through parallel programming. You'll then explore various tools to build highly concurrent applications. After that, you'll delve into improving the performance of your code and master cross-platform RTL improvements. Finally, we'll go through memory management with Delphi and you'll see how to leverage several external libraries to write better performing programs. By the end of the book, you'll have the knowledge to create high performance applications with Delphi. Style and approach This book will take a step-by-step approach with focused examples to teach you how to increase the performance of applications.

About the Author
Primoz Gabrijelcic started coding in Pascal on 8-bit micros in the 1980s and he never looked back. In the last 20 years, he was mostly programming high-availability server applications used in the broadcasting industry. A result of this focus was the open sourced parallel programming library for Delphi-OmniThreadLibrary. He's also an avid writer and has written several hundred articles, and he is a frequent speaker at Delphi conferences where he likes to talk about complicated topics, ranging from memory management to creating custom compilers.
