Rapid application development with the Firemonkey framework means a faster way to design, develop, integrate, test, and deploy apps. Professional developers know what counts when building apps fast: one cross platform codebase, easy to read and write code, expansive third party component support, and fast visual UI development.
Build one responsive layout for phones, tablets, and desktops using the anchor and align features. Or automatically load the correct layout for the device it is running on. Use the same layout across all platforms including Android, IOS, Windows, and Mac.
Rapidly design, prototype, and finalize your app using the visual design tools provided in the integrated IDE. Utilize over 100+ different visual components and thousands of third party components. Bind database fields visually to user interface controls at design time using LiveBindings.
