RAD Studio

RAD Studio is a fast way to develop cross-platform Native Apps with flexible Cloud services and broad IoT connectivity.

• The fastest way to the Windows 10 store: RAD Studio offers the first IDE with integrated Windows 10 Desktop Bridge packaging, helping developers port existing Windows applications to the Windows 10 stores faster than with any other tool chain.
  
• CLANG Enhanced C++ Compiler for Windows 10 and Mobile: C++Builder provides a C++ compiler for Windows 10 (32-bit and 64-bit) and Mobile (iOS and Android) with RAD extensions for the fastest Standard C++ Windows and Cross-Platform development. Tight integration with VCL for Windows and FMX cross-platform frameworks, C++11 language support and ARC (Automatic Reference Counting) based memory management for mobile, with backward compatibility. C++Builder is a must have upgrade for C++Builder Windows VCL developers or new C++ mobile and desktop developers coming from other languages and toolsets such as Java, ObjectiveC, C#, XCode, Xamarin and Visual Studio.
• Powerful Cross-Platform UX: Code once and deploy to Windows 10, Android, iOS and OSX with FireUI. RAD Studio features the FireUI Multi-Device Designer and cross-platform UI framework that delivers the single source solution for natively compiled applications.From the user interface code through the rest of the complete client software stack, your apps can access platform APIs, device sensors and services and deliver the best app performance with native GPU and CPU support all from a common and shared code base.
• Preview at Design Time with FireUI: FireUI App Previews lets you preview your FireMonkey application on iOS, Android, OSX and Windows targets as you are designing the app. Changes made in the FMX Designer are broadcasted in real time to connected devices using the appropriate Styles for the devices.
• Leading IoT Application Development: Easily connect Internet of Things gadgets and devices to your app or Enterprise. The inter-connection between gadgets and devices has the potential to create remarkable, completely new user experiences that integrate the physical environment.
• Build Hyper-connected and Flexible Apps: Functionality of existing business apps can be easily extended to integrate mobile devices, new IoT gadgets and multiple back-end services and databases. Innovative Live Bindings solution allows you to see real time how data flows into your forms and applications for unprecedented speed and accuracy of development. You can switch back-end services and platforms with high-level of flexibility without dramatic new investments.
