We continued our webinar with a look at how ridiculously fast and easy it is to create cross-platform apps with RAD Studio and connect to a variety of databases. One of the great strengths of RAD Studio, and particularly Delphi and C++ Builder is how it can use components like FireDAC to connect to almost any database system there is available. In the webinar I looked at the range of built-in…
