With RAD Studio XE8, we support a range of backend as a service (BaaS) providers including Kinvey, Parse and App42. Over the last year I have written many blog posts on our BaaS support and frequently get questions on BaaS from our customers. I recently got a question about how to upload files to Kinvey using https instead of http. Kinvey uses Google cloud storage for files and you can use either 'http:' or 'https:' when making a request to Google.  Below is some information fro...

One of the great features in Delphi, C++Builder and RAD Studio XE6 that I have been covering over the last couple of months is our BaaS (Backend as a Service) integration. If you are just starting out with BaaS, or are looking for specific features, such as how to trigger a password reset email, you should find the following tutorials useful: Backend Storage Push Triggers Remote Push Notifications User Account Creation Using Custom Endpoints Visualizing Json Data User Account Au...

Today, I thought I would cover how to add password reset functionality via an email notification to your BaaS enabled mobile application using RAD Studio XE6. This tutorial uses Kinvey, but I am going to do a blog post on Parse soon as ...

Over the last couple of months, I have been covering various BaaS (Backend-as-a-Service) features introduced in RAD Studio XE6. Today, I thought I would expand on the User Account Creation and Authentication topic I previously covered by showing you how to allow the user to change their password within your BaaS enabled application. In this app, I am using Kinvey as my BaaS Provider but the UI and code are the same if you are using Parse. The app consists of 3 Edit controls: One for Use...

I recently did a skill sprint session on some of the great BaaS features we introduced in RAD Studio XE6. To sign up for our upcoming skill sprints, visit http://embt.co/Sprints14. You can watch the recording from my session by clicking on the image below....

In Delphi, C++Builder and RAD Studio XE6, we integrate with leading Backend as a Service (BaaS) providers to add functionality and platform services to your applications. With BaaS, you get easy access to common services in the cloud without having to build or maintain the backend services yourself.
