    Delphi books

    Not all free. Pretty galling for any of the authors of these books to read this post.

    Delphi books

    I rate myself as an "intermediate-level" Delphi programmer (as compared to the experts I found in this forum; I also use C/C++, .NET/C#/F#, FORTRAN). The following is the list of Dephi books that I've collected over the years. These are all great books by great writers - I'd like to thank them all for their books accompanying my Delphi journey over the years. For Learners: Inside Delphi 2006 (Ivan Hlandi) - the first Delphi book I read, by which I learned Delphi. I found this book very good for picking up Delphi. It covers not only Delphi but C++ Builder (for cross referencing Delphi features). Object Pascal Handbook (Marco Cantu, 2021) - classic, and continuously updated, with the latest one being for Sydney 10.4.2. Delphi XE2 Foundations (Chris Rolliston, 2012) - a well written book covering the Delphi language and other aspects. Comprehensive: Mastering Delphi 7 (Marco Cantu, 1996) - classic of the classics. Old but still relevant. Of all of Marco's books, I think his "Master Delphi XXX" series are really well written, impeccable text-book style. Expert Delphi (Pawel Glowacki, 2017) - another good Delphi book. Delphi Cookbook (Daniele Teti, 2018) - cookbook style, and good as a desktop reference to check out the tips occasionally. Delphi GUI Programming with FireMoney (Andrea Magni, 2021) - on the GUI programming using FMX, haven't finish reading it. Seems a comprehensive one. Delphi in a Nutshell (Ray Lischner, 2000) - my favorite book. Very well written, concise, and no non-sense. I like the "nutshell" style. I really hope Oreilly could update this book to the recent Delphi editions. For COM/ActiveX developing in Delphi: Delphi COM Programming (Eric Harmon, 2000) - the classic for Delphi COM programming. Oldie but goodie. A must-have if you are still doing COM programming. For Delphi Component Development: Delphi Component Design (Danny Thorpe, 1996) - the classic for component developers. Oldie but goodie. The author is Danny Thorpe after all. Even if you don't read it, you can save the book for the old times' sake. A nostalgic item to keep. Developing Custom Delphi 3 Components (Ray Konopka, 1997). Old, but still relevant. Well-written. For Database: Delphi in Depth - Client Dataset (Cary Jensen, 2014) - Not sure ClientDataSet is still a good option nowadays. But the book provides comprehensive coverage on ClientDataSet and its under-the-hood. Delphi in Depth - FireDAC (Cary Jensen, 2015) - a must-have if you want to learn FireDAC systematically. Introducing Delphi ORM (John Kouraklis, 2019) - An interesting little book about ORM, with a focus on TMS Aurelius. Enterprise Delphi Database with mORMot (Erick Engelke, 2016) - the only book on mORMot (except mORMot's own manual). Neither well-written, nor carefully proofread. It can be useful before driving you lunatic with the various typos, typesetting errors, or out-of-no-where examples. Still appreciate the book for being the only mORMot book, though. Multi-threading/Parallel Programming Parallel Programming with OmniTheadLibrary (Primoz Gabrijelcic, 2019) - A systematic book on the wonderful OmniThreadLibrary. Delphi Event-based and Asynchronously Programming (Dalija Prasnikar, 2020) - a very well written book on the subject. Design Patterns Hands on Design Patterns with Delphi (Primoz Gabrijelcic, 2019) - A very nice book of implementing various design patterns in Delphi. Coding in Delphi, More Coding in Delphi, Dependency Injection in Delphi (Nick Hodges, 2015) - the three books by Nick Hodges on implementing design patterns in Delphi. Primarily about the Spring4D. The books have a very enthusiastic writing style, together with a lot of filler jokes (not my style but I can appreciate Nick's enthusiasm trying to make things lighter and fun). MVVM in Delphi (John Kouralkis, 2016) - a book on implementing MVVM in Delphi. The first couple of chapters are quite academic but interesting. Delphi Performance/Memory Management/Algorithms Delphi High Performance (Primoz Gabrijelcic, 2018) - a fairly unique book on writing performant Delphi code. Delphi Memory Management (Dalija Prasnikar, 2018) - a very interesting book, well written too. Delphi Algorithms and Data Structures (Julian Bucknall, 2001) - A unique book on algorithms and data structures in Delphi language.

    When you buy ebooks you are granted rights to read the book, not to send to others.

  5. You think 26 Characters are enough ? 🤔

    Delphi books

    I am quite positive that some of the books you listed are not free. Even if you got them for free (some could have been distributed to Delphi subscribers as part of some marketing activity) that does not mean you are allowed to distribute the, Same goes for the books you purchased. You haven't bought right to distribute.

  9. There are 3rd party Object Inspectors available, if you search around. Or, you could write your own editor using the VCL's TValueListEditor component and some manual RTTI logic.

  11. That article is written for saving a single component to a file, not for saving multiple components. I would suggest saving the TForm itself rather than each of its child components individually.
  12. Try streaming Tpanel with child objects in it object Panel1: TPanel Left = 536 Top = 24 Width = 251 Height = 106 Caption = 'Panel1' ParentBackground = False TabOrder = 0 object Button2: TButton Left = 24 Top = 16 Width = 75 Height = 25 Caption = 'Button1' TabOrder = 0 OnClick = Button1Click end object Edit1: TEdit Left = 112 Top = 72 Width = 121 Height = 21 TabOrder = 1 Text = 'Edit1' end end Simply copy paste these into a form in design window. then follow delphi - How to save and restore a form? - Stack Overflow
