Key benefits

  • Discover external programming libraries that will speed up your programming and code
  • Learn to integrate external libraries into Delphi programs
  • Build fast Delphi applications using concurrency, parallel programming, and memory management

Description

Performance matters! Users hate to use programs that are not responsive to interactions or run too slow to be useful. While becoming a programmer is simple enough, you require dedication and hard work to achieve an advanced level of programming proficiency where you know how to write fast code. This book begins by helping you explore algorithms and algorithmic complexity and continues by describing tools that can help you find slow parts of your code. Subsequent chapters will provide you with practical ideas about optimizing code by doing less work or doing it in a smarter way. The book also teaches you how to use optimized data structures from the Spring4D library, along with exploring data structures that are not part of the standard Delphi runtime library. The second part of the book talks about parallel programming. You’ll learn about the problems that only occur in multithreaded code and explore various approaches to fixing them effectively. The concluding chapters provide instructions on writing parallel code in different ways – by using basic threading support or focusing on advanced concepts such as tasks and parallel patterns. By the end of this book, you’ll have learned to look at your programs from a totally different perspective and will be equipped to effortlessly make your code faster than it is now.

Who is this book for?

This book is for all Delphi programmers. Whether you’re a beginner or an accomplished programmer, you will find something interesting. Even though the focus is on the latest Delphi release, the code uses only standard Delphi syntax without syntactic additions from the latest releases, and most of it should compile and run in any Delphi from XE7 onward. If you’re using an older version of Delphi, don’t despair! Most of the concepts in this book do not depend on a specific Delphi version and will be useful for everyone.

What you will learn

  • Get to grips with algorithmic complexity and learn how to recognize it
  • Use tools to determine program runtime behavior
  • Speed up programs by doing less instead of more
  • Discover the internal workings of Delphi data structures
  • Gain an understanding of Delphi's memory manager
  • Find out how to write low-level parallel programs with TThread
  • Use parallel patterns from the PPL and OTL libraries to write fast code
  • Include external code, written in C or C++, in Delphi programs

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.
