CodeRage is an annual virtual developer conference by Embarcadero Technologies. This annual event features sessions and talks from different speakers providing topics that will focus on inspiring developers with new and emerging technologies, best practices, creating better windows 10 apps development teams, app design, and many more. In this video, Alister Christie (A Delphi Most Valued Professional), will share with you his very own presentation for the CodeRage XII. In this 47-minute-long video, he will be sharing some IDE Tips and effective coding shortcuts. It also covers topics such as customization, configuration, and tips to make your life within the Delphi IDE happier and more productive. It also includes some Q & A sessions which provide more learning opportunities.

Alister Christie recently launched a book entitled Code Faster in Delphi. As what the title of the book connotes, the book will teach and help you to become more productive and efficient in Delphi IDE. This video is part of his DelphiCon presentation in which he will share some great fraction of his book. Some of these include effective keyboard shortcuts in the Delphi code editor which can help you save an enormous amount of typing and pointless waving around of the mouse. His book covers a lot of interesting new tricks that both beginners and experts can apply to their respective Delphi and windows program development projects. The keyboard shortcuts alone already cover 10 pages of his book and he will share a generous amount of information in this 29-minute-long DelphiCon presentation. If you want to learn some tips and tricks that you can use to make you more productive and efficient in Delphi, grab this opportunity and watch this interesting DelphiCon presentation above.

Are you working with FireDAC in Delphi or windows ide? FireDAC is a unique set of Universal Data Access Components for developing multi-device database applications for Delphi. It provides methods to sort, filter, or locate a specific record in the dataset. To sort the dataset by field values, the application uses the IndexFieldNames property. It supports multiple fields, case-insensitive, and descending modes. However, if you want to sort in reverse order, you might consider watching this Learn Delphi video tutorial provided by Alister Christie. In this video, Alister will show you how you can use the IndexFieldNames property on any FireDAC TDataSet to enable sorting when clicking on a TDBGrid Title. Watch his step-by-step demonstration above and see how you can utilize this property.

Alister Christie of LearnDelphi TV never failed to give us some useful insights about windows application development and Delphi and how to be productive on it. Whether you are a beginner or an expert, his tutorial series will bring us some surprising discoveries in Delphi, tips, and tricks that we can apply to help us code faster, and more. Interestingly, in this Learn Delphi video, Alister will teach us how to write cross-platform SQL using the FireDAC Preprocessor too. The aim is to write a single SQL statement which will then be processed differently on different platforms. To top it all, the video above will also help us understand the differences between SQLite and the MSSQL Servers. To explore more about this procedure in Delphi, feel free to watch the video above.

Alister Christie of LearnDelphi TV has been providing us with some useful tips and tricks to help us become more productive in Delphi and windows ide. These include some simple yet surprisingly handy keyboard shortcuts that will help us avoid wasting too much time in typing and hovering or waving the mouse. He even published a book that helps us code faster in Delphi. Interestingly, in this Learn Delphi video, Alister Christie will teach us how to change the background color and font color of a TEdit when VCL Styles are enabled. The video above features a step-by-step demonstration to help us understand the process clearly. To learn more about this procedure in Delphi, feel free to watch the Learn Delphi video tutorial above.

Here comes another simple yet surprisingly useful trick provided by Delphi MVP Alister Christie. In this new Learn Delphi video, he will teach us how to develop windows 10 app or write a simple application that allows you to take a list of names and print name tag labels. However, this application will be done without writing a single line of code or even compiling the application. In this video, we will explore the advantage of FastReports. This tool has to be installed in Delphi before starting a new VCL application. In this Learn Delphi Video, Alister will demonstrate a step-by-step process on how to build this Printing Label application. Feel free to watch the video above to learn more about this FastReports tool and build an easy application from it.

In this short and quick video by Alister Christie of LearnDelphi.tv, he will be showing us rather an unusual trick. In this new Learn Delphi Video, Alister will create a simple Windows app using the VCL Application in Delphi. While Delphi has been able to build 64-Built applications for quite some time, the video above will show us a simple Windows app that allocates 32GB of memory. Yes, you read that right! A 32GB app! A simple Windows app that allocates 32GB of memory may not be an ideal setup for whatever application or windows 10 app development project you are building but this quick demo will show us that it is indeed possible. If you want to experience it yourself, watch this quick Learn Delphi video tutorial and try to apply it to your own Delphi Project.

Alister Christie has shared his knowledge about Delphi programming through his YouTube channel where both beginners and experts can benefit from. In most of his Learn Delphi Video tutorials, Alister will help you learn Delphi in the most efficient and most effective ways. With his lessons, you will learn how to program faster and better in windows program development and Delphi. In his previous video, Alister demonstrated some useful keyboard shortcuts that can be used effectively on a Delphi program. In this new Learn Delphi Video, he will be sharing another useful trick ~ the block selection mode. Block selection allows you to select rectangular blocks of text in your code. According to him, this keyboard shortcut is way more useful than it sounds. To learn more about this, feel free to watch the video above.

Today, we are learning another obscure syntax from Alister Christie of Learn Delphi TV. In this new Learn Delphi Video, he will learn more about the ThreadVar and how does it differ from the local variables? It is interesting to note that the code with the threadvar is invalid syntax. A threadvar needs to have a unit scope rather than local scope. According to the video, a thread-local variable has separate instances for each thread in the process. There is a one-to-one mapping between instances of the variable and threads. If you haven’t heard or used ThreadVar before, this Learn Delphi video will explain every detail you need to know. Feel free to watch the video above and learn more about this obscure syntax in Delphi and windows application development.

In this video, Alister Christie of Learn Delphi TV will give us an overview of the REST Debugger tool in Delphi and will demonstrate to us how to use it to connect to Twitter using the OAuth Authentication method. The REST Debugger in Delphi is a tool for making ad hoc requests. With this tool, you can use different authentication methods to connect to services such as Google API or Twitter. You can send a request to the specified service and view the response. Here, we will also learn how this feature becomes one of the most important windows app development tools in Delphi. In this video, Alister will demonstrate the procedure comprehensively. To make this method possible, you will need to use Twitter’s OAuth. Generally, OAuth allows an authorized Twitter developer app to access private account information or perform a Twitter action on behalf of a Twitter account. To learn more about this feature, feel free to watch the Learn Delphi Tutorial above. The video will also show you how to build a very basic application in Delphi which includes the use of the REST Debugger.
