Throughout this paper, we will investigate many of the capabilities of the FM Application Platform involved in data visualization. We will cover the important role that FM primitives and vector graphics play in visualizing data.

We will take a look at charting and how we can incorporate modern looking charts into our own applications. We will also be taking a deep dive into customized lists on mobile devices and leveraging custom FM controls to achieve very rich displays. And finally, we will investigate how to create truly stunning hi-res images generated from mathematical data.

Learn how to connect with more data, more easily and on more devices with this in-depth technical white paper by Cary Jensen. Enterprise data access can be challenging. While products like dbExpress have solved many of these problems, what is needed is a data access engine that can deal with the rapidly changing world of IT. Multiple devices, operating systems, and form factors create a plethora of touch points. FireDAC is the ultimate multi-device data access library.

This report, sponsored by Embarcadero Technologies, is based on a global survey of 1,337 developers with responsibility for Windows desktop applications. The goal of the survey, conducted in August 2013, was to understand existing demand for mobile applications, experience with mobile development, and concerns with current approaches.

This paper offers a deeper look into some of the key elements of the FireMonkey component architecture and the role of styles. Understanding styles is key to working profitably in FireMonkey. Read how styles define controls, look at the different sections of the FireMonkey class hierarchy, see how you can customize individual components, as well as how to write your own.

With mobile's unparalleled growth rate and unmatched subscriber counts, there's no doubt that nearly every developer is either already going mobile, or thinking about it. Even tried and true desktop apps and large-scale enterprise systems have companion mobile apps that let users interact with desktop files or large systems while on the go.

To help you create an awesome mobile user experience for your application, we've prepared a list of common mistakes developers make when going mobile - and how you can avoid them.

In this paper, we will look at what is required to create a shared library with FireMonkey in RAD Studio that can be used across multiple platforms, specifically with Windows and Mac OS X. We will look at using the new library in Delphi FireMonkey and VCL applications and also with C#.

TMS Grid has been a popular VCL component developed over 15 years. This paper gives the background on the requirements and decisions that were made in the creation of the TMS Grid for FireMonkey and gives an overview of its remarkable capabilities.

This paper guides a Delphi developer through the DataSnap technology in Delphi XE3. The focus of this document is to offer an overview of the technology and its usage and deployment scenarios, more than a detailed technical analysis of the available features of this multi--‐tier library. I'll cover the options you have in terms of integration with web servers and hosting in the cloud. I'll discuss how to make these services more scalable and robust, and offer a very simple overview of the different types of clients you can build with Delphi and other tools.

FireMonkey is able to natively target multiple platforms by taking the low level tasks that an application would otherwise rely on the operating system to perform or provide. You can find out a lot more specific technical information and how you can try the power FireMonkey in RAD Studio, from the references at the end of this article.

This article gives a few good reasons to migrate, along with an overview of all the new features added to Delphi product releases since version 7, where Delphi was an IDE to build Windows 32-bit applications and became an IDE for Windows 64-bit, Mac and iOS development.
