Features: Delphi, as one of the main RAD tools for the Windows platform, offers the advantages of being convenient, efficient, and powerful. It supports development work across various aspects, including general Windows applications, database applications, distributed applications, network communication applications, Internet/Web applications, and more, all on the Windows platform. Borland's new Delphi6 has undergone significant improvements compared to previous versions, introducing three new technologies: BizSnap, WebSnap, and DataSnap, bringing Delphi application development into an entirely new realm. Combined with the brand-new CLX, Delphi begins to possess cross-platform development capabilities.
This book is divided into ten chapters, introducing Delphi for various development tasks, including multithreading, network communication, Web applications, distributed technologies (such as COM, MTS/COM+, CORBA, SOAP, etc.), and custom components. The book's key feature lies in its focus on introducing some of Delphi6's new technologies, such as the powerful WebSnap technology for Web application development and the new, XML-based distributed technology Soap/WebService. It also provides unique insights into mature and important technologies like COM and network communication, as well as special explanations for technologies with significant improvements over previous versions, such as CORBA.
Based on numerous examples, this book is designed as a development guide for Delphi6 developers. Many of its contents are quite in-depth and forward-looking, making it suitable for experienced Delphi developers. Additionally, some universally applicable content offers reference value for developers of other languages.
