Description
Get up to speed with creational, structural, behavioral and concurrent patterns in Delphi to write clear, concise and effective code
Key Features
Delve into the core patterns and components of Delphi in order to master your application's design
Brush up on tricks, techniques, and best practices to solve common design and architectural challenges
Choose the right patterns to improve your program's efficiency and productivity
Book DescriptionDesign patterns have proven to be the go-to solution for many common programming scenarios. This book focuses on design patterns applied to the Delphi language. The book will provide you with insights into the language and its capabilities of a runtime library.
You'll start by exploring a variety of design patterns and understanding them through real-world examples. This will entail a short explanation of the concept of design patterns and the original set of the 'Gang of Four' patterns, which will help you in structuring your designs efficiently. Next, you'll cover the most important 'anti-patterns' (essentially bad software development practices) to aid you in steering clear of problems during programming. You'll then learn about the eight most important patterns for each creational, structural, and behavioral type. After this, you'll be introduced to the concept of 'concurrency' patterns, which are design patterns specifically related to multithreading and parallel computation. These will enable you to develop and improve an interface between items and harmonize shared memories within threads. Toward the concluding chapters, you'll explore design patterns specific to program design and other categories of patterns that do not fall under the 'design' umbrella.
By the end of this book, you'll be able to address common design problems encountered while developing applications and feel confident while building scalable projects.
What you will learn
Gain insights into the concept of design patterns
Study modern programming techniques with Delphi
Keep up to date with the latest additions and program design techniques in Delphi
Get to grips with various modern multithreading approaches
Discover creational, structural, behavioral, and concurrent patterns

Person
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.
