TMS WEB Core: Web Application Development with Delphi: Rapid Application Development for the Web

Without a doubt, it is a good book. If you plan to use the TMS Web Core toolset for Delphi or Visual Studio, add this book to your library. I love the part in which he explains the differences in concept between "Normal Delphi" and "Delphi to be translated to JavaScript." This part is very, very important. First lack: Don't explain the main difference between the Models of Memory Management. JavaScript uses a Garbage Collector, and because of this, you need to write your Pascal code, considering that you don't need to "free" the consumed resources. The free method is translated in JavaScript with ":= nil," which provokes the immediate release of the resource. The author and the creators of TMS Web Core boast every time they can about the similarity between developing with this tool and developing with VCL. And this is the excuse not to explain many things. This is bad, because some things are really very different and no explanation, nor in the official help or this book is available. Some examples I found: The Library to manage JSON objects. It's really very, very different than the Delphi One. The Components to send and request data to a web server. TWebHTTPRequest in the TMS library. It is absolutely different from the components of Delphi. The only entry in Online Help is a little entry with references to the properties and methods. It's not possible to find and complete the User Guide. And in this book, the examples are uncompleted. More concerned with explaining the "await" function than in explaining the use of this component. More. Like the free servers used in the examples of this tool and in the book, for security, do not admit data reception; you are not going to find any example of this functionality. How good is the book? Very good, of course. How good is the tool (TMS Web Core)? Very good, of course. Can it be improved? Of course! Greatly!

I needed to some practical examples of using TMS Web Core. This book provided that and I feel more comfortable using the product now.
