The introduction of the FireMonkey framework represented a crucial point, putting Embarcadero Delphi in a magic spot in the global software development scenario. From a project management point of view, one of the most wanted features is to achieve this goal through a single source code base, not, for example, having a different code base for each supported platform. These days, developers face a hard-to-solve problem-building effective cross-platform applications. Welcome to the first chapter of this book! We are at the beginning of a journey to gain knowledge about a great application framework, that is, the FireMonkey ( FMX) framework. Finally, you’ll learn about FMX’s built-in 3D functionalities.īy the end of this book, you’ll be familiar with the FMX framework and be able to build effective cross-platform apps. Later, you’ll explore the most important cross-platform services in the FMX framework, which are essential for delivering your application on multiple platforms while retaining the single codebase approach. To address modern application development, the book takes you through topics such as animations and effects, and provides you with a general introduction to parallel programming, specifically targeting UI-related aspects, including application responsiveness.
Next, you’ll focus on the main FMX components, data access/data binding, and style concepts, in addition to understanding how to deliver visually responsive UIs. You’ll also cover a significant comparison between Delphi and the Visual Component Library (VCL). Starting with an overview of the FMX framework, including a general discussion of the underlying philosophy and approach, you’ll then move on to the fundamentals and architectural details of FMX. This book will help you learn visual programming with Delphi and FMX. FireMonkey (FMX) is a cross-platform application framework that allows developers to create exciting user interfaces and deliver applications on multiple operating systems (OS).
