Webinar Replay: Introducing RAD Server - Walk Through an example Real World Scenario in Creating a Modern Retail Customer Experience Solution

This webinar introduces you to our new product of the Embarcadero portfolio - RAD Server. RAD Server provides you the perfect back end for your Delphi and C++ apps, without breaking your bank. RAD Server allows you to create Enterprise class applications without the Enterprise class costs!

During this webinar we show you how to develop and deploy a real world Customer Retail application. The client app will run on smartphones and the server side will execute on IIS production servers on premises and on Amazon EC2 (you can also host a RAD Server application on Microsoft Azure and other cloud servers).

The app allows customers to look up price and descriptions of products in the store using product barcodes and keying in product SKUs. The app also enhances the customer experience and facilitate marketing programs by lighting up an end-cap product display as the customer nears a target product. The app can also send sale prices to the customer via push notifications when customer enters the store or is near a relevant sale item.

You will see how to use RAD Studio 10.1 Berlin and RAD Server to:

• Design and implement the smartphone client application
• Define and build the Back-end REST APIs
• Connect the Back-end to RDBMS & Cloud services
• Create an IoT Edge Service to control the End-Cap light
• Use Beacons for indoor location tracking in retail zones
• Integrate push notifications
• Add users and devices
• Deploy the back-end to an on premise production server and to Amazon
• Gather and report API usage and statistics

Note: this webinar is the RAD Server launch and quick walk through presentation. We will have a follow on deep dive webinar on Thursday June 16 (stay tuned for the registration link) to show even more architecture, source code, project and deployment details in action. After that follow-on deeper dive webinar, we will make the complete department store application project source code available.
