1. Don't Forget 4D 2004 is in it's Sunset Phase

4D v11 SQL is fast, easy and quick to integrate - It is time to Upgrade

The time has come to consider your move from 4D 2004 to the 4D v11 SQL product line. 4D v11 SQL has proven to be a powerful and robust solution (check out some success stories) that will allow you take advantage of new operating systems such as Windows 7 and MAC OS X Snow Leopard. Upgrading now also ensures that your data will continue to run on the fastest and most feature-complete 4D software ever. Learn more about 4D v11 SQL here.

If short-term restrictions require you to maintain 4D 2004, we suggest that you purchase additional 4D 2004 licenses now to take advantage of the current pricing.

Contact 4D Sales at sales@... or 1-800-785-3303 to discuss your business needs and how upgrading to 4D v11 SQL may be your best option.


2. 4D Summit 2009 Weekly Digest

Destination: Atlanta

Atlanta is the home of world names such as CNN and Coca-Cola and offers a wealth of attractions and activities for everyone. Other famous landmarks include the Atlanta Botanical Gardens, High Museum of Art, Zoo Atlanta, and many others.

The 4D Summit is located in Midtown Atlanta, the heart of all activity. Numerous bars, restaurants, and night-clubs are within an easy walking distance to the hotel.

More information on Midtown-Atlanta can be found here.

What to wear?

Atlanta weather is subtropical, meaning its warm and humid. The average high is 82F (28C) and the average low is 64F (18C). Light colored clothes are recommended when exploring outdoors during the day. A long-sleeve shirt may be necessary for an evening stroll. Atlanta does get an average of 3.11 inches (79mm) of rain during the month of October, so keep an eye on the clouds. We'll send a weather forecast before the Summit.

Don't forget to register

The 4D Summit 2009 in Atlanta is the 4D event not to miss. Here's a quick snapshot of what we're preparing for you:
  • 4D v11 SQL in depth sessions from 4D Staff
  • Plan for the future with informative sessions on 4D v12 and beyond
  • Real world 4D v11 SQL topics from 4D developers
Early-bird registration ends on August 28th. That's also when hotel prices will increase from the discounted rate of $179 per night.
