All about Lightning Sessions

If you have a cool 4D v11 SQL tip or trick to share and want to do it in
10-minutes or less, why not sign up for a Lightning Session? It's a
great way to deliver a short but information packed presentation to
other 4D attendees.

Lightning Sessions (or talks) are defined by wikipedia, as "a short
presentation given at a conference or similar forum. Unlike other
presentations, lightning talks last only a few minutes and several will
usually be delivered in a single period by different speakers."

Check out the Lightning Session website for a sample video, requirements
and more information. A prize will be awarded to the best session.
Lightning Session topics are due June 12.

2. 4D with Cream - Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud

4D Partners have another chance to share their thoughts and ideas with
other 4D Partners in the next 4D with Cream session. The next session
covers the Tech Note Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud.

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

Did you ever have a potential customer demand that your application run
fast enough with 20 or 200 users, then go back to your office and
realize you only have a few computers to test with? Using cloud
computing, you can rent computers for extended periods of time, paying
just a few cents per hour. This tech note explains how to setup a test
environment using Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud and gives ideas on how to
prepare your solution to run automatic and realistic user simulations.

3. Tech Note Central

This Week's Topic: User Mode Component

A "user mode", as 4D developers may be familiar with, is often useful to
correct or modify records without the being held to the same application
or business restrictions that an end-user faces. This tech note
describes a component which allows adding such a user mode to databases.
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.
