The phrase rapid application development was a concept made famous by Borland Delphi (now Embarcadero Delphi) nearly two decades ago. Delphi came with an impressive library of ready to use components, re-usable classes and functions that set a new standard in productivity. Delphi is still knocking out killer apps even today and is experiencing somewhat of a revival in the IT community. The visual component library and the fact that you can easily re-use and extend these controls means that you can do more in less time. You focus on writing your app rather than wasting time re-inventing the wheel over and over again.

One example of what RAD is all about is a lesson we ourselves learned when venturing into the mobile software development business. Our very first project was a handy database driven time tracking app. The app itself is fairly humble, yet it took over two months of actual work to get it right (not to mention the time it took learning a new platform, a new language and new rules). That very same application can be re-created in Smart in less than two days. That is a substantial difference and the financial benefit speaks for itself.

Smart Mobile Studio brings RAD to jаvascript. You get a rich set of controls, classes and functions that will save you time, money and a lot of frustration. Object Pascal as a language also brings features to jаvascript that are hard to achieve even for seasoned web developers. Among the most noteworthy features are:

Concurrent data-types
True object inheritance
Virtual and abstract methods
Var parameters
Published properties
Reusable components
Interfaces
Class helpers
Record helpers
and much, much more

This means that a traditional HTML5 project which, under native jаvascript would involve thousands of lines of code, is a piece of cake under Smart. As a language object pascal is easy on the eyes, easy to learn, easy to work with, and has excellent support in the IT community. Beginners will discover a language that has stood the test of time with unparalleled elegance.

List of changes since release 2.1

Compiler

Updated to latest DWScript.
Improved Date/Time handling.
DateTimeZone scoped enumeration (.Default, .Local, .UTC).
FormatSettings.ShortDateFormat, LongDateFormat, ShortTimeFormat, LongTimeFormat, Zone.
An extra “utc” parameter of DateTimeZone type on many DateTime functions.
A new ParseDateTime function, which acts as a reverse FormatDateTime
ISO8601 functions (were declared but missing from the codegen)
FormatSettings.Zone allows setting the default behavior between Local & UTC, and the utc parameter of DateTime functions allows to override that.
FormatSettings does not yet expose short/long day/month names, but these are used for Formatting & Parsing dates.
Fixed date/time rounding issues in the JS RTL.
JDateHelper was moved from W3C.Date to System.Date.
Added VarIsArray & VarIsClear.
Supports “export” qualifiers for functions (use in libraries).
Added support for �~’ in asm sections.
Added option to generate RTTI for objects in the implementation section.
Added missing error message for an invalid lambda syntax.
Added support for floating point modulus. (see https://www.delphitools.info/2015/10/29/floating-point-modulus)
Added support for sets in constant records.
Stricter enumerations type checks.
Integer operators are now more “strongly” typed, facilitates use of helpers over aliased integer types.
Case..of type matching is now more tolerant with variants.
Made code suggestions in a local scope more resilient to syntax errors in that local scope.
Compiler displays a hint about empty then/else blocks.
Compiler supports comparing Variant to nil with = and <> operators.
Conditional compilation symbols can be passed to the smsc compiler by using -defines=list.
Fixed: Source files with the UTF BOM header $FEFF are supported.

Fixed codegen for StrBeginsWith.
Fixed method type detection bug.
Fixed issue with external class fields being assigned in an initialization section.
