Build fast, scalable, and high performing applications with Delphi

Key Features

  • 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

Book Description

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.

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

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.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Humbles even the most seasoned Delphi developer
Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2019

I have been using Delphi since 1995 and pride myself as knowing a lot of what goes on "under the hood". But this book was a sobering serving of humble pie. Great narrative, excellent and concise examples, and lots of real-life testing data to back-up the assertions of the text. This book will join the barely dated "Delphi XE2 Foundations" (Rollinson) as a permanent fixture on my desk (where, believe me, space is at a premium).

Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2018
I am completely in AWE of Primoz new book "Delphi High Performance". After reading only 4 chapters i have already produced two tickets for two different 3rd party vendors and the bugs are already fixed. Most literature in lieu leaves me with a "well, i knew that". But this book is really an eye-opener to me.

You get walked-through all those things that are a bit murky. Important and interesting details regarding the subject matter explained with humour, exactness and detail. Also - and i appreciate this a lot - the authors personal views on some particular details is accounted for. This is not a beginners book, put it in the hands of someone without hands-on experience and they will probably go do a LOT of premature optimization.

4.0 out of 5 stars Worth a read for nearly any level of developer

I purchased this book in order to improve our company library to aid in continuous training of our devs. Being already familiar with some of the authors work, I was slightly surprised at how little of the the book was spent on multi-threading. Don't get me wrong, he actually covers it really just the right amount, introducing all of the pitfalls alongside the gains to help those less familiar better decide on direction without becoming experts first.
I'm recommending the book to all of our software devs and will likely make it required reading for those new to Delphi.

5.0 out of 5 stars A legitimate "must read" for all Delphi developers.
Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2018
Primož is the ideal author to write this book, and he assembled the kind of resource we all need to read.

I appreciate that it talks both about responsiveness and computation performance. It is also refreshing to see a book that is written with attention paid to the latest technology, while also being applicable to earlier versions of Delphi.

I've been programming Delphi since the beginning, and Turbo Pascal before that, and just flipping through this book I learned useful information.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended!
Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2018
A new Delphi book is a rare thing these days, and this is a good one. I'm always tweaking my code to optimise performance, so this was right up my alley.

While it covers a lot of things I already knew, there was also plenty I didn't know (and I've been using delphi since v1) or had forgotten. The book goes into just the right amount of detail, with excellent examples.

Should be required reading for all Delphi developers!
