When it comes to programming or windows application development in particular, the whole agenda is not just about the software or tools you are using. Hardware is also part of the package and you must have all the required essential hardware to support the Delphi program and also to avoid any problem in the future. In this Learn Delphi video by Alister Christie, he shared his very own Delphi Development essential hardware. In the video, Alister will demonstrate how he uses three monitors for his Delphi projects. Alister will discuss his personal recommendations including the resolutions and sizes of the monitors that you should be using, the ideal CPU to support the Delphi program smoothly, and many more. Feel free to watch the video above to learn some tips about the ideal hardware for a Delphi development.

One of the most interesting changes brought by the RAD Studio Tokyo Release 3 (10.2.3) was the new Dark and Light themes. Whether you like to code at night or during the brightest times of days, you now have the option to switch from a Light theme to a Dark theme and vice versa. The Dark theme is more than just an IDE theme as it also comes with many interesting benefits that most developers can take advantage of. One of which is the ability to reduce eye strain. They said that the Dark theme is easy on the eyes which is great for people who have been using the ide software for a very long period of time. If you also work at night, the dark theme also reduces the amount of light which is also good for eye health. Above all, the dark theme looks visually stunning. In this video, we will get a glimpse of what the new Dark IDE theme looks like.

It is very important to note that FireMonkey (FMX) and Visual Component Library (VCL) are two different platforms that are apparently not compatible with each other and they should not be used together in the same module. It means that a module should be using only one of the two aforementioned platforms exclusively. According to embarcadero, the incompatibility of the two platforms is caused by framework differences. In this Learn Delphi Video, Alister Christie will demonstrate these differences specifically with the TCheckbox. A TCheckBox component presents options for the user. The user can check the box to select the option, or uncheck it to deselect the option. The video above will show us the differences in the OnClick behavior between the VCL and the FireMonkey platforms. Feel free to watch the video above to learn more about Delphi and windows application development.

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.
