4D

4D is a cool platform where you can create your own databases and it comes with lots of handy tools.

What's Included in 4D?

When you get the software, you'll find a design environment, a 4D Server, the 4D Volume Desktop app, and some predefined databases like 4D Pop and 4D SVG. Plus, there are various plug-ins available such as 4D for OCI, 4D InternetCommands, 4D ODBC Pro, 4D Pack, 4D View, and 4D Write.

Getting Started with 4D

If you want to dive into using 4D, just keep in mind that you'll need to register for an account. The good news? It's free! Once you sign up, you'll get a license code sent to your email. You can grab your trial license here!

The Welcome Wizard Helps You Out!

No one likes getting lost in software settings! Thankfully, 4D has a Welcome Wizard. This tool walks you through everything, whether it's connecting to the server or creating a new app.

Your Own Programming Language!

The best part? 4D has its own built-in programming language! You can use it to automate tasks, manage data, control how things look on the screen, or even build new applications. If you're into web services, you can add new features there too!

User-Friendly Design Environment

If coding isn't your thing, no worries! The design environment lets you do tons of tasks without needing to program. You can create new records, run queries, validate data, or even make graphs easily.

Create Custom Applications Easily!

The great thing about 4D is that each application acts like its own database made for specific jobs. With the design environment and all those extra components at your fingertips, making custom applications that fit your needs is super simple.

A Lot of Resources Available!

If you're looking to get the hang of the programming side of things or just want to learn more about using all these features effectively, check out the extensive documentation provided by the developers. It covers everything from starting a new app to working with plug-in components!
