DOWNLOAD EBOOKGet up to speed with creational, structural, behavioral and concurrent patterns in Delphi to write clear, concise and effective code Key FeaturesDelve into the core patterns and components of Delphi in order to master your application's designBrush up on tricks, techniques, and best practices to solve common design and architectural challengesChoose the right patterns to improve your program’s efficiency and productivityBook Description Design 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 learnGain insights into the concept of design patternsStudy modern programming techniques with DelphiKeep up to date with the latest additions and program design techniques in DelphiGet to grips with various modern multithreading approachesDiscover creational, structural, behavioral, and concurrent patternsDetermine how to break a design problem down into its component partsWho this book is for Hands-On Design Patterns with Delphi is aimed at beginner-level Delphi developers who want to build scalable and robust applications.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKMemory management. One of the most basic parts of software development, often kept on the side even though it has the most profound effect on how we write our code. Delphi provides a variety of types with their own memory management logic, as well as two sets of compilers that provide different memory management systems for classes. * Classic Delphi compiler currently supported on Windows and OSX platforms - using manual memory management while providing ARC for certain types. * Next generation ARC Delphi compiler supported on mobile Android and iOS platforms, as well as Linux - using full ARC - Automatic Reference Counting memory management system. Each memory management system has its good and bad sides. Each offers solutions to some problems, but creates a whole range of other problems. And each requires slightly different coding patterns and practices. Knowing the strengths and weaknesses and understanding how memory management system(s) work goes hand-in-hand with writing clean, bug-free and maintainable code. Both compilers are covered in detail, as well as coding patterns required for writing cross-compiler code that must run under both. From manual memory management, to garbage collection, different memory management systems differ not only by the general category they fall in, but also by implementation. And all those fine implementation details also have a great impact on actual code. From the perspective of the everyday software development process discussing memory management is impossible without discussing its specific implementation in specific languages and toolsets.
