TMS WEB Core: Web Application Development with Delphi
For more than two decades, the development environment Delphi is known for
the rapid programming of Windows applications. Especially the easy creation
of desktop database applications and the uncomplicated deployment of the
applications to customer systems made Delphi popular compared to other
programming languages. For several years now, software can be created for
the target platforms Linux, MacOS as well as the mobile operating systems
iOS and Android.
With TMS WEB Core, modern web applications can be programmed with Delphi
since the beginning of 2018. These applications can be executed completely
in the web browser because they are translated into JavaScript.
- Detailed description of the basics, the functionality, and the transpiler (based on pas2js)
- Step-by-step creation of the first web application
- Progressive Web Applications (PWA) for offline use
- Electron applications: Cross-platform Desktop applications based on web applications
- Integration of JavaScript classes and controls
- Creating web services for databases with TMS XData
- Integration of databases with TDataset controls
- XData-specific functionality for use in web applications
- Responsive web design (form designer, HTML, CSS, Bootstrap)

Knowledge of Delphi (Object Pascal) and the Visual Component Library (VCL) is required. To reproduce the numerous examples, you need a current version of Delphi and TMS WEB Core. The free Delphi Community Edition is sufficient as well as the trial version of TMS WEB Core.
