In this four-part Learn Delphi Video tutorial series, we will explore everything about String Variables and how to process and manipulate these String functions and procedures in a Delphi or windows app development Project. The first part of the video already tackled Length () and Concat() String functions while the second part discussed three additional String functions including the UpperCase(), LowerCase(), and the Trim() functions respectively. In this video, we are going to learn three more String functions including the InputBox(), Pos(), and Copy() functions. The tutorial video will also highlight a Delphi Project which you can learn how to code in the first part of the series. If you already have the project, feel free to watch this video and learn how to program Copy and Pos() string functions. Good luck!

Things are getting more and more fascinating in this four-part Learn Delphi Video tutorial series. After we have explored the Length and Concat String functions from the first part of the String Variable tutorial series, we are going to learn other String functions such as UpperCase, LowerCase, and Trim. This Learn Delphi Video Tutorial series will explore everything about String Functions and how to process and manipulate them in a Delphi Program. In this video, you will also learn how to get input from the user with the InputBox function. If you want to explore more about the String Variables and how to process them in a Delphi or windows ide program, watch the detailed tutorial above.

Now that we have learned how to declare a variable in a Delphi project in the previous Learn Delphi Video, it is time to go deeper and explore the variables of different data types and learn how to manipulate and process them. In this particular Learn Delphi Video tutorial, we will learn everything about the String Variables. The video aims to teach us how to use String functions to process and manipulate values in String variables in a new Delphi project. The video tutorial series will highlight various String functions such as Length, Concat, IntToStr, UpperCase, LowerCase, Trim, Copy, Insert. This video will focus more on String functions – Length and Concat. For the comprehensive Learn Delphi tutorial and to learn more about Delphi and windows development, feel free to watch the video above.

Delphi MVP Alister Christie recently launched his book entitled “Code Faster in Delphi”. Much like his YouTube Channel that aims to help aspiring programmers to program faster and better through various tricks and with the help of some windows app development tools, his book comes with the same core function. Interestingly, in this new Learn Delphi Video, he will demonstrate a pinch of what you could possibly learn from his book. The video will show us a few easy and effective keyboard shortcuts related to selection that will help you boost your productivity. These include the CTRL + W, CTRL + Z (Smart Around), and CTRL + / shortcuts. The video will also highlight obscure keyboard shortcuts that most of you may not be well-familiar with. To learn more, feel free to watch the video above and see how you can effectively apply these keyboard shortcuts to help you code faster in Delphi.

After discovering a minor bug or an issue when styling an application when a TPanel parented to a TSplitView in Delphi, Alister Christie added it to the Quality central and reported the issue as a bug. After seven months and exactly 10 Learn Delphi videos, he finally gave us an update as the bug was finally fixed. To see if the TSplitView/ TPanel Style bug is finally working the way it should be, Alister will demonstrate the same procedure he did 7 months ago. Wonderfully, the issue was finally get resolved. To see how this bug gets fixed in Delphi and if it is really worth reporting bugs, feel free to watch the video above and learn more about Delphi and windows program development.

Now that we have learned and probably mastered how to declare string variables in a Delphi program, it is always fascinating to encounter strange behavior that might cause some confusion. Strings are indeed special in many ways. Interestingly, in this video, Alison Christie will demonstrate how to generate some strange behavior when we return a string from a function in Delphi. In this Learn Delphi video, Alister will show us some step-by-step procedures on how this strange bug-like behavior is generated in Delphi. It is also interesting to note that this strange behavior is also exhibited by variants and dynamic arrays. Feel free to watch the video above to learn more about Delphi and windows application development.

In the previous Learn Delphi Video Tutorial series for beginners, we have learned some important details about string variables and how to declare or manipulate them in a Delphi program. We have also learned the differences between a function and a procedure. The previous tutorials didn’t just define such important elements in Delphi programming but also showed us an actual demonstration of how they work and how they are being programmed from scratch for a Delphi project. Interestingly, in this new Learn Delphi video by Delphi MVP Alister Christie, we will be introduced to a brand new VCL windows development application. Alister will demonstrate how to return a value from a function in Delphi. However, this video will show us how to do such in an obscure way. According to the video, this might also cause some hard to spot bugs if you are not aware of it.

In this video, we are going to learn an interesting trick that you can easily and effectively apply to PDF using the Delphi program. In this particular tutorial, Alister Christie will show us how to manipulate a PDF file and to add Binary Page Numbers to it. This new Learn Delphi video will showcase a step-by-step demonstration on how to put page numbers in binary in a PDF. It is also interesting to note that Christine used another third-party component to make this PDF file manipulation possible. He used the Gnostice PDFToolKit and its watermarking feature which allows you to add text, images, and shape watermarks to a PDF Document. In the video, in particular, Alister decided to put Binary Page Numbers on all the pages of his book. Check out this Learn Delphi video above and learn more about windows development and Delphi.

In this new Learn Delphi Video, we will witness another interesting Delphi Programming demonstration. Delphi MVP Alister Christie will teach us how to omit Character + String Concatenation when combining strings and adding Unicode characters to your windows app development project without using Unicode in your source. In this merely six-minute-long Delphi programming tutorial, Alister will help us understand how to apply the Character + String Concatenation in a Delphi Program by showing us a comprehensive demonstration. If you want to learn more about this feature and its application in Delphi, feel free to watch and follow Alister Christie in this Learn Delphi video tutorial series.

Packt is a publisher of programming books and video courses and there are quite a few Delphi books published through their platform. They are running a sale right now where you can get each e-book (and video course) for $5 each. There are at least 9 books (most of them pretty recent) related to Delphi for sale through their platform including just published books like “Delphi GUI Programming with FireMonkey by Andrea Magni”. In addition to the books are there video courses from people like Muminjon Abduraimov who is a frequent contributor to the Embarcadero Blog. It is unclear when the sale will end. They have sales frequently though and even once the sale ends these are some powerful books to really teach you the ins and outs of mastering Delphi.
