From [WayBack] …short presentation at the Norway Delphi Club[1] meetup, covering some fun and interesting uses of the “new” language features introduce since Delphi7… – Asbjørn Heid – Google+
Yesterday I did a short presentation at the Norway Delphi Club[1] meetup, covering some fun and interesting uses of the “new” language features introduced after Delphi 7.
The main purpose of the talk was to try to be inspirational, and give a sense of what kind of stuff you can do with the language these days. So it’s not very in-depth, but rather tries to showcase several interesting features and tricks.
Anyway, in case it might be useful to others I thought I’d publish the slides and code here as well.
- Source code: RediscoveringDelphiTalk – Example code from my “Rediscovering the Delphi Language” talk
- Presentation: Rediscovering Delphi.pdf
- Meeting: [Archive.is/WayBack] Norway Delphi Club
The examples are a nice introduction for when you want to dig deeper in the language itself, for instance when you are digging deeper into Spring4d.
Slides 35 and 36 – though hard for me to grasp initially – show a very nice concept called [WayBack] Partial Application (thanks Stefan Glienke for pointing me at this) by binding a parameter value plus parameter position to an existing function returning the bound function so it becomes easier to tall.
