Chapter 2. Becoming a Delphi Language Ninja
In this chapter, we will cover the following recipes:
- Fun with anonymous methods – using higher-order functions

Introduction
This chapter will explain some of the not-so-obvious features of the language and the RTL that every Delphi programmer should know. Anonymous methods, enumerable types, extended RTTI, and class helpers are powerful tools for every Delphi developer, but usually they are not mastered as they should be. In this chapter, there are ready-to-use recipes that use these concepts to implement something really useful.
