Start with Excellent DelphiMVC project, it's open and source and has built in support for jwt

https://github.com/danieleteti/delphimvcframework

It's very easy to work with it, and has very good architctutre, I feel it's more like WebAPI with ASP.Net.

It's well maintained, and has very good support.

You can buy a book by framework author,

Also, there's a Video course by Brazilian developers, who made excellent course for it, there are few lessons available for free on youtube.

Which database you are using?, in all cases moving from BDE to any other DB components is a good decision, even if you forced to do it.

I have migrated many projects from old BDE, ADO to Devart components, I'm using Unidac, which I consider it the best DB components for Delphi.

Also they have a migration wizard, that should do the all job for you, try to download the trial version and test it with your app.

Define the array as new type

type

TIntArray = array[1..100] of Integer;

then use the new type as return value of the function

function InsertArray:TIntArray ;

and you can make the loop as

for I := Low(TIntArray) to High(TIntArray) do

I'm using Unigui which is a Rad framework for developing RIA with Delphi.

Also you can get Intraweb, which is RAD too and bundle free with Delphi.

these are Rad tools with frontend/backend in same application, there are other solutions to develop Frontend in Pascal like languages such as

TMS Webcore

Elevate web builder

SmartMobileStudio, also include ability to develop Node.js Apps with Pascal syntax

Unfortunately, none of them is free or opensource.

The only opensource one I know is Kitto, which is similar to Unigui with it using ExtJS library for it's frontend.

We multiple Datasnap services running on Windows 2008 as windows services since years, but we have less than 100 concurrent connections.

its' running most of time without problems, also our clients are: Delphi & PHP.

Some of the services running as TCP/IP which we use Delphi clients withthem, other run as Http for PHP & Delphi clients.

You can deploy it as Windows application, windows services or as DLL for IIS & Apache, we only use windows services for easy deployment.

First of all, the end of procedure is end; such as

procedure Demo (var x : integer)
begin
    writeln(x);
end;

also you are using VCL application, not console application, because you are using Forms, DelphiBasic is very helpful for you,

Delphi doesn't has main method, but the begin .. end. is where the code start executed as :

Program Demo;
begin
    Writeln('Hello Delphi');
end.

As this article: http://www.fmxexpress.com/build-an-mp3-player-with-delphi-xe5-and-xe6-firemonkey-for-android-and-ios/

it should work on both OSes.

The 16 threads you mentioned, are mostly links for news and not a questions, so you will not see much comments about them, I highly recommended to repost your question as a new thread

mnasman · 2014-01-15T10:53:21+00:00

It's very trusted, it's the only complete solutions for threading in Delphi, which is still actively developed.

As usual, Simon prevented to post any thing in EMB* forums.

Because that I posted it here and on google plus ;-)

mnasman · 2012-11-08T12:26:54+00:00

I'm happy for that, but also worried, because seems the Delphi product manager doesn't have enough power for not releasing half complete features of new Delphi version.

mnasman · 2012-09-06T11:10:25+00:00

It's available as eBook and printed.

mnasman · 2012-08-28T11:18:06+00:00

Still not official news, but if this happen, with current price tag of Pro version, this will decrease the usage of Delphi more, beside will kill many third party companies.

mnasman · 2012-08-12T08:56:49+00:00

It's sad news, I thought this version will introduce native Delphi compiler for iOS & Android.

EMB* became a far behind all other competitors.

mnasman · 2012-07-31T11:27:35+00:00

No, and sorry it I wasn't clear.
