What this edition covers

Sixteen chapters on dmvcframework-3.2.1-carbon, from the first controller to a server in production.

1	Introduction to DelphiMVCFramework	9	Authorization
2	Getting Started	10	Middleware and Filters
3	Routing and Controllers	11	Database Integration
4	Views and Rendering	12	Advanced Features
5	Data Handling	13	API Documentation
6	RESTful Services	14	Testing

8	Authentication	16	Performance

It also carries five complete projects to use as templates: a RESTful CRUD API for customer management, a JSON-RPC calculator and notification service, JWT authentication, a multipart file upload API, and real time updates over Server-Sent Events.

Who it was written for

Delphi developers moving into web API development, backend developers arriving in Delphi, and teams building REST services on top of an existing database. Basic Delphi and Object Pascal knowledge is assumed; web experience helps but is not required.
