RAD Studio XE6

True multi-device, native support

RAD Studio supports multi-device app development so you can code your app and compile it natively to PCs, tablets and smartphones. No scripts, no runtime devices, just native code that runs directly on the device.

Fast, native applications for Windows, Mac, iOS and Android

With the included FireMonkey platform, RAD Studio makes it easy to build your application for Windows, Mac OS X, iOS and now, Android. FireMonkey applications take full advantage of the power and speed of your device's CPU and GPU and support multiple form factors (PCs, tablets and smartphones).

Rapid Application Development

Rapid Application Development (RAD) tools allow for fast visual prototyping. You get your customer's feedback on actual GUI prototypes and in real time before moving on to full production. With RAD Studio XE6 you also get thousands of built-in extendable components, which increase reusability and speed up your development process.

Create visually stunning applications

RAD Studio XE6's included application platforms, VCL and FireMonkey, help developers rapidly build business applications with higher quality user interfaces and rich data and services connectivity. The VCL framework is designed to build traditional Win32/Win64 form based GUI applications and largely leverages the Windows operating system and APIs such as GDI to draw UIs. FireMonkey is a rich business application platform that enables developers to build visually spectacular Windows 8 style, HD and 3D business applications with incredibly fast performance on Windows and Mac.

Build highly-connected applications

When you use RAD Studio, your applications get built-in high-speed connectivity to all popular databases (depending on edition). RAD Studio's RAD Cloud data and application services connect to all popular client platforms, frameworks, languages, and devices today.

One codebase, one team

With RAD Studio, your development team can prototype and develop native apps for multiple devices simultaneously. So no need for multiple projects, schedules and budgets. Which means less risk, headaches and overhead for you.
