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.
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.mdfile with a summary of the chapter and a video link to YouTube (each chapter has a explaining video)Demo projectsfor Delphi and C++ (if the chapter requires demos)
For following this documentation correctly you will need:
- Delphi or C++ Enterprise/Architect
- InterBase Developer edition
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.
You can just click the 
git clone https://github.com/embarcadero/radserver-docs.gitWe 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.
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.
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.
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.
No, this is no the right place for that. If you have any questions or requests regarding the product, you should contact support.
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.
