It truly is Rapid Application Development (RAD). You can easily create mobile/web applications that has all the power of current mobile/web development technologies. The best part of it is that it is running on the world's most reliable and efficient relational database management system - Oracle.

You don't need to worry about installing any client IDE's, developing code for CRUD operations and worrying about UI/UX. The IDE is web based and you can make use of pre-built templates, themes and plugins to give your application a very attractive modern look and user experience.
