1. Automated Solutions Group Announces AreaList Pro 8.2

As one of the first companies that makes their full product line take
advantage of the power of 4D v11 SQL, Automated Solutions Group (ASG)
just announced the release of their AreaList Pro 8.2 (ALP 8.2).

ALP 8.2 has native support for 4D v11 SQL with a Universal Binary
plug-in for 4D that provides editable lists directly on your 4D
Application forms and gives you the ability to display fields or arrays,
providing a full-featured interface for crating enhanced output forms or
complex scrolling lists.

“We’re pleased about the future of AreaList Pro, and even more excited
to include many of the features in 4D v11 SQL and are looking forward to
building more on the functionality of 4D v11 SQL in future releases."
said Michael S. Erickson, President of Automated Solutions Group.

ALP 8.2 also makes it easy to interface with web-based applications,
including support for creating standard HTML Tables, interfacing with
Java Applets, and XML documents, building on 4D v11 SQL’s rich set of
web application tools.

For more information on ALP 8.2, visit ASG’s website at

Be among the number of 4D Developers already harnessing the power, speed
and flexibility of 4D v11 SQL by upgrading today.

2. 4D Summit 2009 Call for Speakers - Coming Soon!

Start your brainstorming and idea gathering. We will be opening 4D
Summit Call for Speakers very soon. While we will be sending out an
announcement with the specific details, here are a couple of simple
guidelines to help get you started:

* Must be an active 4D Developer (with 4D v11 SQL Developer Professional)
* Sessions need to be based on 4D v11 SQL (or greater) technology

3. 4D with Cream - Mirroring with 4D Server v11 SQL

http://www.4d.com/support/tnbc_4dcream.html

Don't miss the chance to share your thoughts and ideas with other 4D
Partners in the next 4D with Cream session. The next session covers the
Tech Note Mirroring with 4D Server v11 SQL.

Mirroring is a way to increase database availability. Database mirroring
transfers 4D log files directly from one server to another. In case of
failure, the client application can quickly connect to a mirroring
server with no loss of committed data. This technology does not require
proprietary hardware and is easy to set up and manage. This Tech Note
includes a component that facilitates the addition of mirroring to any
4D database.

weekly discussions, sign up for the 4D Partner Program. There are many
benefits to becoming a 4D Partner including discounts, Hot Fixes,
participation in Beta Testing and other select "Partner Only" benefits.

4. Tech Note Central

This Week's Topic: Sending and Receiving E-Mails in Unicode

Starting with 4D Internet Commands for 4D v11 SQL, the developer can now
send and receive e-mails of various languages with relative ease; this
is because 4D v11 SQL works in Unicode and has the ability of converting
to and from various character sets irrespective of the system language.
This Tech Note describes the basic concepts related to the e-mail
protocol while pointing out some limitations that one may possibly face
when attempting to send and receive e-mails in Unicode with 4D Internet
Commands. A sample component is provided as a sample solution.

This is only a sample of the many valuable Tech Notes that are available
to 4D Partners in the 4D Knowledgebase. There are many more advantages
to becoming a 4D Partner. Visit 4D Partner Central for more information.
