Following agile principles, the RAD approach allows for fast visual prototyping, giving you the freedom to take an idea and then show your customer exactly what you are thinking. You get their feedback on actual GUI prototypes and in real time before moving on to full development. Unlike prototyping tools, FireMonkey visual prototypes are evolved to production without wasted or duplicated effort and without any compromises on performance or quality of design.

With FireMonkey you get components for user interfaces, HD, 3D, communications, database, multi-tier, cloud, internet protocols and more. Component based means easy to use and reusability is built in. It also means higher quality and application functionality is easier to extend than with libraries alone. You can extend and customize the included components, create your own or use the free and commercial components created by thousands of customers and partners.
