商品描述

Create modern yet effective multi-platform applications by building interactive UIs following a single codebase approach to boost productivity

Key Features

  • Delve into the FireMonkey framework and explore its powerful capabilities
  • Enhance the user experience by using various technologies included in Delphi and FMX
  • Boost developer productivity through the cross-platform capabilities enabled by the framework

Book Description

FireMonkey (FMX) is a cross-platform application framework that allows developers to create exciting user interfaces and deliver applications on multiple operating systems (OS). This book will help you learn visual programming with Delphi and FMX.

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. You'll also cover a significant comparison between Delphi and the Visual Component Library (VCL). 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. 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. 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. Finally, you'll learn about FMX's built-in 3D functionalities.

By the end of this book, you'll be familiar with the FMX framework and be able to build effective cross-platform apps.

What you will learn

  • Explore FMX's fundamental components with a brief comparison to VCL
  • Achieve visual responsiveness through alignment capabilities and layout components
  • Enrich the user experience with the help of transitions and visual animations
  • Get to grips with data access and visual data binding
  • Build exciting and responsive UIs for desktop and mobile platforms
  • Understand the importance of responsive applications using parallel programming
  • Create visual continuity through your applications with TFrameStand and TFormStand
  • Explore the 3D functionalities offered by FMX

Who this book is for

This book is for Delphi developers who are looking to discover the full potential of the FireMonkey framework in order to build interactive cross-platform GUI applications and achieve an optimal UI/UX. Basic familiarity with Delphi programming and the VCL will be beneficial but not mandatory.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

以單一程式碼庫的方式建立現代且有效的多平台應用程式,透過建立互動式使用者介面來提升生產力

主要特點


  • 深入研究FireMonkey框架並探索其強大功能

  • 使用Delphi和FMX中包含的各種技術來增強使用者體驗

  • 透過框架提供的跨平台能力來提升開發者的生產力

書籍描述

FireMonkey (FMX)是一個跨平台應用程式框架,允許開發者創建令人興奮的使用者介面並在多個操作系統上交付應用程式。本書將幫助您學習使用Delphi和FMX進行視覺化編程。

從FMX框架的概述開始,包括對底層哲學和方法的一般討論,然後深入研究FMX的基礎知識和架構細節。您還將對Delphi和視覺元件庫(VCL)進行重要的比較。接下來,您將專注於主要的FMX元件、數據訪問/數據綁定和樣式概念,並了解如何提供視覺響應的使用者介面。為了應對現代應用程式開發,本書將帶您深入研究動畫和效果等主題,並為您提供有關並行編程的一般介紹,特別針對與使用者介面相關的方面,包括應用程式的響應性。稍後,您將探索FMX框架中最重要的跨平台服務,這些服務對於在多個平台上交付應用程式並保持單一程式碼庫的方式至關重要。最後,您將了解FMX內建的3D功能。

通過閱讀本書,您將熟悉FMX框架並能夠建立有效的跨平台應用程式。

您將學到什麼


  • 通過簡要比較VCL,探索FMX的基本元件

  • 通過對齊能力和佈局元件實現視覺響應性

  • 通過過渡效果和視覺動畫豐富使用者體驗

  • 深入了解數據訪問和視覺數據綁定

  • 為桌面和移動平台建立令人興奮且響應的使用者介面

  • 了解使用並行編程實現響應應用程式的重要性

  • 通過TFrameStand和TFormStand在應用程式中創建視覺連續性
