4D will be releasing a Flex library that allows direct SQL access to 4D databases. This presents interesting options for 4D developers working on Web 2.0 applications.

Olivier and Luc-Michel of 4D SAS did an entertaining and informative presentation which went over the major changes in 4D v11 SQL. They also demoed a Flex-based admin application that could add and drop tables from a 4D database using user-specified SQL calls.

Brendan Coveney gave the keynote speech at 4D Summit. He went over 4D, Inc’s financials, where the company was going, and the new and exciting things in 4D v11 SQL. He also announced a Flex library to aid in getting data from 4D into Flex-based web applications.

Slicksurface is proud to announce the relaunch of netterimages.com. The site now has a new look and feel, and a host of new content and features including browsing Netter books, and a Flex-based pricing module.
