Alister Christie has been programming in Delphi since 1999, building and maintaining applications for the real estate, banking, racing, legal, and health care industries here in New Zealand. In these roles, he has also used other technologies such a C#, Ruby on Rails, Android/Java, but Delphi is his preferred environment.

Alister loves to teach, and has also held training seminars on coding for his teammates, user training for clients, as well as producing the content found here. Most of his free videos also appear on YouTube, as at April 2023 has over 2 million views and around ten thousand subscribers.

Alister has presented at numerous online CodeRage conferences. These conferences last for an entire week with thousands of participants. The replays for all his presentations are available on this site.

Alister has been an international guest speaker at ADUG (Australasian Delphi Users Group) Symposia since his debut in 2013. Alister is honoured to be invited back to present again and again.

In 2012 Embarcadero invited Alister to join a select group of Delphi experts from around the world to form the Embarcadero MVP program for which he was the first from New Zealand.

Alister has produced two books, “Code Faster in Delphi”, and “Code Better in Delphi” which is about 95% written and will be available soon.

Alister holds a degree in Mathematics and Computer Science from Victoria University, Wellington. He lives near Wellington, New Zealand.

When Alister isn’t doing all that, he’s investigating new technologies, hanging out with his family, playing guitar, investing in real estate, working out, farming his lifestyle block (hobby-farm), renovating, and running a B’n’B.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for Delphi developers
Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2021

We already know Delphi is a fabulously productive development tool, but this is the book you need to take your productivity to the next level. It goes beyond the basics of using Delphi and covers some really useful topics that even experienced Delphi developers may be unfamiliar with.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delphi developers must have compendium
Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2021

A must have book even for seasoned Delphi developers. It contains so many gems, plenty of them unknown to most Delphi RAD programmers.
Master them and certainly one would accomplish the books title: code faster in Delphi.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice book
Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2021
Verified Purchase
The book overall has a few measures on how to improve but 1/3 is about typing skills and using different components to speed up production. The price is over the top and should have been under $20. As a veteran Delphi programmer i found that the book told me nothing new that i knew and for a newbie not sure what they will get out of it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delphi IDE Shortcuts and Templates
Reviewed in Australia on October 24, 2023
Verified Purchase
For people seeing the value of Delphi:
* The comprehensive table of shortcuts is invaluable.
* Use code templates to save time and get it done right the first time.
** Thank you so very much, Alister Christie. Transitioning from C++ to Delphi is exceedingly difficult without your LearnDelphi.tv and books.
