Embarcadero RAD Studio XE7 now available

RAD Studio XE7 provides a complete solution to build connected apps for Windows, Android, iOS, OS X, gadgets, and wearables.

RAD Studio XE7 enables developers to extend Windows applications using Wi-Fi and Bluetooth App Tethering and create shared user interface code across multiple device form factors. With RAD Studio XE7, developers can also access data and services from within the enterprise, while the new Parallel Programming Library significantly boosts multi-threaded performance on multi-core systems, and much more.

New RAD Studio XE7 Features for building connected apps:

• FireUI Multi-Device Designer and UI Components: RAD Studio XE7 offers a revolutionary way to build a shared user interface that is optimised for specific devices and form factors. A new behaviour service API allows the framework to optimise for the capabilities and device form factor of the native platform to deliver the best user experience for that device.
• Connected Apps with Bluetooth: Bluetooth connections are now available for App Tethering. Developers can extend their existing Windows applications to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth-enabled devices, including Bluetooth LE for connecting to lower-power devices.
• Enterprise Mobility Services (EMS): Enterprise Mobility Services (EMS) is a new turnkey solution for today’s interconnected, distributed apps, offering an easy-to-deploy middleware server that hosts loadable custom API and data access modules. EMS is based on open and standard technologies, including REST HTTP calls and JSON data formats, and provides major SQL database drivers along with a built-in encrypted, embedded, and server-side SQL data store.
• Parallel Computing Library: Developers can significantly boost multi-threaded app performance on multi-core systems. The new Parallel Programming library exponentially increases the performance of existing C++ and Object Pascal code by parallelizing threads that can take full advantage of multi-core CPUs.

Other RAD Studio XE7 enhancements include Object Pascal Language RTL, database and FireDAC enhancements, plus a new PAServer manager and FireMonkey enhancements.
