Arrays in Delphi - #201

There are many kinds of arrays in Delphi and they all behave slightly differently. This video focuses on passing arrays as parameters but also talks about type compatibility. Some of the array types we will look at are: static, dynamic, open, generic, variant, and typed. I'll save "array of const" for another video.

DeepStack API Integration - #200

Migrating a Package to Delphi 11 - #197

When upgrading to a new version of Delphi, compiling and installing all the packages can be the hardest part. These can include Third-party (purchased and free) components, and in-house developed components. This is an example of updating a third-party spelling component set to Delphi 11. This package was quite easy, others were not so. I did no rehearsal for this video, and it's working with production code.  Enjoy the video on YouTube.
