In this video I do a quick experiment to demonstrate multiple forms in the same application with different styles - in fact, we will show all of the styles. Per control styling is a new feature of Delphi 10.4 Sydney.
New in Delphi 10.4 is the Language Server Protocol (LSP), which replaces the backend for Code Insight / Error Insight - here are my first impressions. Watch on YouTube.
Have you used ThreadVar before, never heard of it? Find out about threadvar in this video!
In this (roughly produced) video, we have a first look at using the REST Debugger in Delphi to connect to Twitter, then build a very basic application in Delphi. Watch it on YouTube.
The TIdHTTP component is great for downloading web pages and it has some powerful mechanisms for handling HTTP Redirects, we will look at the HandleRedirects property and OnRedirect event. Find out how to use them in this video.

In this videw we take a look at an issue when styling an application when we have a TPanel parented to a TSplitView. Watch it on YouTube.
In this video we take a look at how we can make our items in a TListView size automatically to fit the content.
In this video we look at a fairly recent feature in Delphi that allows you to edit an FDMemTable at design time. I've found this to be really handy, and I hop you do to. Sadly currently no support for TClientDataSet.
This one is a bit trivial (but nice and short), you should already know how to copy substrings, however there might be a shortcut you are unaware of, check it out in the video here.
