It is a great book! I believe it is less useful for the beginners, more for intermediate and advanced levels. Definitely, now it is a part of my Delphi library. The book is very and very interesting and helpful. Its structure is very clear, you may pick the necessary section if needed. Don't forget to download and install the snippets to follow the topic.Author completed research regarding performance issues and shared the results with readers. After that, the discussion goes to profiling to find out the slow part of the code. Book contains the graphs and I appreciate it. In the several chapters author provided technics how to increase application performance, make code optimizations, how to do memory optimization, use Spring4D library and different data structures.Several chapters provided a lot of interesting knowledge about parallel programming. It is not for every day and not for every application, but software developer may find it very useful to gather fresh ideas for future projects. Finally, another chapter gives information about using external libraries, not written in Delphi.I appreciate the author's efforts to create the book that highlights actual questions and describe everything in the good and clear manner. Highly recommended for software developers of any level. Reading this book can improve the code performance.

This book is really a great book, covering A LOT of the details necessary to write good Delphi code.The examples in the book are all quite easy and straight forward to follow, but they do still explain everything.I like the very pragmatic approach that is taken in the book. You get the feeling by reading this book, that he book is not written by an author of books, but by a developer who also writes books.I have read plenty of books written by authors who haven't ever had their hand in the nitty gritty details of coding. This is not one of those books. That much is obvious.Memory management is often an overlooked but important part of programming, and I was very pleased to read the thorough explanations of this.The chapter "Getting started with the parallel world" was also very well written and nicely explained.¨It is a complex world, but this book will certainly help you.What I've never seen before in a technical book is the "Best practices" chapter at the end, going through all of the chapters in the book.

This book covers a wide range of topics, from algorithm improvement to tools for finding slow code and parallel programming. It does a great job of explaining complex concepts in a clear and concise way, and the book is full of practical examples that can help you apply the concepts in your own code.The book covers a wide range of topics. Delphi High Performance covers all of the major areas of performance, so you can get a well-rounded understanding of how to write high-performance code.The demo examples that come with the book are comprehensive and clearly demonstrate the points the author is explaining. He doesn't just talk about the concepts in theory, he shows you how to apply them in your own code. This makes the book very valuable for anyone who wants to improve the performance of their Delphi applications.Overall, Delphi High Performance is an excellent book for Delphi developers who want to learn how to write high-performance code. The book is well-written, informative, and full of practical examples. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to improve the performance of their Delphi applications.

Regardless If you enjoyed previous Primož books or this is your first one, it is an absolute must. Easy to understand and follow but at the same time tackling complex topics in a very approachable way. If you want to take your your Delphi skills to the next level: 100% recommended.
