Hands-On Design Patterns with Delphi

Get up to speed with creational structural behavioral and concurrent patterns in Delphi to write clear concise and effective codeKey FeaturesDelve into the core patterns and components of Delphi in order to master your applications 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 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.Youll 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 youll cover the most important anti-patterns (essentially bad software development practices) to aid you in steering clear of problems during programming. Youll then learn about the eight most important patterns for each creational structural and behavioral type. After this youll 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 youll 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 youll 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 forHands-On Design Patterns with Delphi is aimed at beginner-level Delphi developers who want to build scalable and robust applications.
