Description
Delphi is one of the most popular IDE for cross-platform native app development. It helps you to focus on the real business and avoid the pain of going through amid GUI widget details or inter-platform incompatibilities. So, if you want to build native cross-platform apps with a single codebase for Microsoft Windows, Apple Mac OS X, Google Android, iOS, and Linux, then go for this Learning Path.

This comprehensive 3-in-1 course begins by getting you accustomed to the Delphi IDE and the Object Pascal language. You will then familiarize yourself with JSON format strings, XSLT transformations, Unicode encodings, and various types of streams. This learning path then moves on to more advanced topics such as developing higher-order functions and using enumerators and RTTI. You will also go through topics such as multi-threading, using the parallel programming library, and putting Delphi on a server. Finally, you will learn to improve your development skills and GUI programming with FireMonkey.

This training program includes 3 complete courses, carefully chosen to give you the most comprehensive training possible.

The first course, Delphi Solutions - Part 1, starts with explaining you the basics of Delphi and will get you acquainted with JSON format strings, XSLT transformations, Unicode encodings, and various types of streams. You will then learn more advanced topics such as developing higher-order functions and using enumerators and RTTI. You will also understand Delphi RTL functions and how to use FireMonkey in a VCL application. Next, you will learn about multithreading and how to use parallel programming library and putting Delphi on a server. Finally, you will be glanced through the new feature of WebBroker Apache modules and then ride the mobile revolution with FireMonkey.

The second course, Delphi Solutions - Part 2, builds on your understanding from Part 1 and covers the topics such as multithreading, using the parallel programming library, and putting Delphi on a server in more detail.

The third course, Mastering Delphi, begins with explaining you the fundamentals of Delphi programming as a quick glance to your learning. You will then develop your development and GUI programming skills with FireMonkey. You will also delve into web development with Intraweb and uniGUI. Finally, you will learn how to integrate your app with various web services and deploy them on the cloud.

By the end of this Learning Path, you will be able to design and develop applications, deploy them on the cloud platform, and distribute them within an organization via Google Play and other similar platforms.
