What is RAD Server?

RAD Server Screen Shot

RAD Server is a turn-key application foundation for rapidly building and deploying services based applications. RAD Server enables developers to quickly build new application back-ends or migrate existing Delphi or C++ client/server business logic to a modern services based architecture that is open, stateless, secure and scalable.

RAD Server is easy to develop, deploy and operate making it ideally suited for ISVs and OEMs building re-deployable solutions. RAD Server allows you to take your existing code and convert it to REST API endpoints.

About this documentation

This repository is the part 1 of an updated version of the original white paper about RAD Server written by David Intersimone. The whole document is beeing updated and some brand new chapters have been introduced.

For a more concise and aprocheable learning process, each chapter has been split in different folders. Inside each one you will find:

  • README.md file with a summary of the chapter and a video link to YouTube (each chapter has a explaining video)
  • Demo projects for Delphi and C++ (if the chapter requires demos)

Prerequisites

For following this documentation correctly you will need:

  • Delphi or C++ Enterprise/Architect
  • InterBase Developer edition

How to download the whole documentation

You can find chapter 1 of the documentation in the folder in this repository. If you want to download for free all the chapters, you just need to access this link.

How to download the examples

You can just click the code button button on this repository and download the whole project, but we recommend you to clone the repository to get future updates in a faster and simpler way.

Videos

We have created a video for each chapter. You can find the link to every specific chapter inside its README.md in the folder, but you can also access the whole playlist here.

Roadmap

Currently we have launched a first batch of 10 chapters that will help to understand and start using RAD Server. Our plan is to keep releasing new chapters in a regular basis, update the documentation and include the examples in this repository.

FAQ

How do I get a license of RAD Server?

Depending on the RAD Studio license you own maybe you are elegible for a RAD Server license already. Also, RAD Server Lite is free for any Enterprise/Architect owner. Contact your sales rep for more info.

Can I suggest a topic for a future chapter?

Absolutely. We are constantly working in uplading more content to this repository with extra chapters. If you'd like to see anything in particular, open an issue and suggest it.

I have a problem with RAD Server. Can I report it in this repo?

No, this is no the right place for that. If you have any questions or requests regarding the product, you should contact support.

I've came up with an idea that would be interesting for the demos. Can I send a pull request?

We would prefer if you open an issue first, but if for example, you detect a bug on the code or you think that a demo could be improved, feel free to send a PR and we will analyze it.
