Overview of this book

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.

Section 3: Pushing to The Top: Advanced Topics

This section contains advanced topics that you'll need to make your applications soar. We are building real-world applications, and we need to master the implementation details of the core functionalities of these applications. If delivering neat, modern, and effective UIs is crucial for the success of your application, then correctly and effectively implementing core functionalities is equally important.

We are going to learn how to implement complex behaviors without affecting the application's responsiveness, how to take advantage of FMX services to implement application features in a cross-platform flavor (with a single code base), and, last but not least, how to deal with the 3D functionality in FMX.
