Session Spotlight - Web Reporting Systems

One of the mostly overlooked features of the 4D Ajax Framework is it's
out of the box reporting capabilities. This session will expand on a
topic covered last year, where the 4DAF was used as a reporting
mechanism for a 4D 2004 system. This session will show all the many
reporting capabilities of the 4DAF that are available through a point
and click interface.

Lightning Session Highlights

Here's a quick look at some of the many Lightning Sessions occurring at
the Summit. Each Lightning Session is a 10-minute concise presentation
on topics ranging from the basic to the most complex area of 4D.

* 4D SVG tips and tricks - SVG is simply a collection of XML elements
following the SVG specification. This talk will show you how to maximize
use of the 4D SVG Component
* Debug log analyzer - Parse the debug log file and save the information
as 4D Data. Now you can reports and analysis on it
* HTML Email Component - Display and compose HTML email with embedded
pictures

These are just a sample of the over 100 technical sessions at the 4D
Summit 2009. More session descriptions can be found here.

2. Tech Note Central

This week's topic: Calling 4D Methods From SQL Statements

http://kb.4d.com/search/assetid=75911

Calling 4D project methods from SQL statements allows developers to use
4D code that already works to improve their searches. This option does
not alter the structure of the SQL statement and any project method can
be called from within SQL. In this way developers can have the benefit
of reusing 4D code from within a SQL statement to perform more complex
tasks. Developers more familiar with SQL can implement the functionality
of the 4D language without worrying about syntax details so long as they
understand the method’s input and expected output.


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.
