Description
The Generic Collections Library is one of the best additions to the Delphi RTL. With it, you can get type safety on your containers without having to write a bunch of boilerplate code each time. This can represent a significant reduction in the amount of code you need to write and reduce bugs. Learn how to make the best use of this library and take advantage of some of its more powerful features.
This video covers all the containers available in the collections library and gives an in-depth account of most of their capabilities. You will learn about the basic containers (TStack, TQueue and TList), covering their basic features (adding, moving, removing, etc.). Then, more advanced topics such as how the internals of sorting work. Then we move on to TDictionary and how hashing works, and how you can provide custom hashing mechanisms to change its default behaviour. Finally, we look at the thread-safe collections and how they can be used in multi-threaded code.
With your new knowledge of the Generic Collections Library, your code will be cleaner and more concise, while simultaneously having better compile-time type checking - what could possibly be more fun?
By the end, you’ll code smarter—not harder—with better structure, safety, and performance baked into your projects.
