The Embarcadero Technologies company released in September, 2011 FireMonkey — the platform for application development using the central and graphic processor. As envisioned by developers, she will allow to create applications with the saturated interface with the platform focused code for Windows, Mac and mobile phones (IOS). In the whole FireMonkey gives to developers the chance to develop full-function applications with native code and support 3D - diagrams and diagrams of high definition, excellent animation, special effects, connection to databases of a corporate class and interactive data visualization and also to build in them cloud services of Amazon or Azure, says Embarcadero.
Now Windows still remains the main business platform, but Mac OSX and iOS also promptly strengthen positions, consider in the company. Their distribution and emergence the politician of BYOD (bring your own device, "bring own device") create broad demand for scalable business applications for different platforms and also generate a set of opportunities for developers. Using FireMonkey programmers can with saving of time and resources it is easy to write applications with the platform focused code for Windows, Mac and iOS, claim in Embarcadero.
"FireMonkey is really revolutionary environment. It combines in a single batch usability characteristic of development environments on the basis of visual components, a scalable vector graphics, 3D - elements, hardware executed special effects, access to databases, unprecedented speed and cross-platform support" — Boian Mitov, the founder of Mitov Software company told.
Thus, the hardware functions of the application performing intensive data processing and implementing in the field of science, finance, medicine, graphic information systems, communications and controls of devices it is possible to do faster and visually attractive now. Will help with it performed by the graphic processor user scalable vector and 3D - the interfaces, animation and effects provided to FireMonkey. The FireMonkey applications provide high performance thanks to execution with the central processor of applications with the platform focused code and to data access. FireMonkey includes hundreds of most various previously built in components which together with tools visual and rapid application development (RAD) accelerate work on the software product from a prototype stage before release.
Besides, the built-in functions of LiveBinding will allow users of FireMonkey to connect any data types or information to any user interface or graphic objects of FireMonkey. Users can connect dynamic data with standard controls of the interface and 3D - graphics and graphics of high definition. It provides new creative approach to visualization of any data types. Besides, thanks to the Fire Monkey components for connection of databases, cloud and web services it is very simple to create and expand the connected applications, emphasized in Embarcadero.
{{"The FireMonkey platform is created by tech-stub for new generation of business Poe. It provides to users the exclusive richness of functions and convenience characteristic of platforms of multifunction web applications (RIA), performance of native code, connectivity of a corporate class and sufficient flexibility for work with the basic operation systems used in business: Windows, Mac and mobile systems" — Michael Swindell, the senior marketing vice president and to products of Embarcadero Technologies.} company said }
FireMonkey is a part of Delphi XE2, C ++ Builder XE2 and RAD Studio XE2 which also include RadPHP and Embarcadero Prism. All software tools are available worldwide.
