What do I need to buy from 4D to develop in Active4D v11?Hello everyone,
I am about to buy the remainder of the product I need to develop in Active4D in 4D v11 (yes, I know it's not available just yet). I currently own 4D Developer Pro v11.4 (Windows), but I need to buy some variant of 4D server to test client/server code, and I am not sure what I need. I've been developing in 4D for ages, but I am totally new to Active4D. I want to architect a 4D system that does the following: (1) Allows client/server interaction on a small scale (2 or 3 clients) (2) Use Active4D for scalable web interaction (I don't need Web 2.0, Ajax, etc. Active4D will be *the* web face) (3) Lets me test Active4D apps, so I'll need a web server that's easy to set up, but not necessarily able to support lots of users What else do I need to buy from 4D? - I believe I need 4D Server, but I am not sure if I need "4D Server" or "4D Web App Server". - Do I need "4D Web Application Expansion" for "4D Server"? I don't know what this does. - Do I need "4D Web Services Expansion" for "4D Server"? I don't know what this does. What should I use as a development web server? Thanks in advance. -Steve Makohin Oakville, Ontario, Canada _______________________________________________ Active4D-dev mailing list Active4D-dev@... http://mailman.aparajitaworld.com/mailman/listinfo/active4d-dev Archives: http://mailman.aparajitaworld.com/archive/active4d-dev/ |

Re: What do I need to buy from 4D to develop in Active4D v11?Steve,
what you need is: * 4D Developer Professional (SingleUser) it supports one internal and one external IP addresss, you can't extend this * 4D Server v11 -> has 2 users (clients) buildt-in -> you can extend the users (up to 500, according to 4D) -> you need a "4D Web Application Extension" to activate more then one external IP address -> you do not need the "4D Web Services" If you can convince your customer doing everything over the web, then you need instead of the "4D Server" a "4D Web Application Server" - carefull: that's the good old "4D Runtime Classic", just web enabled. The term "server" is a little misleading here, because it is the "Web Server". <plug> If you need an offer, you send me a private email, we are an offical 4D dealer. </plug> Am 15.05.2009 um 20:34 schrieb Steve Makohin: > Hello everyone, > > I am about to buy the remainder of the product I need to develop in > Active4D in 4D v11 (yes, I know it's not available just yet).

Re: What do I need to buy from 4D to develop inActive4D v11?Hello Peter, and list.

What exactly is 4D's "Web Application Expansion" option for 4D Server? Will I need it to develop in Active4D (for 4D v11)? I don't need Web 2.0, Ajax, etc. Under what conditions would I need to "activate more then one external IP address"? -Steve Makohin Oakville, Ontario, Canada _______________________________________________ Active4D-dev mailing list Active4D-dev@... http://mailman.aparajitaworld.com/mailman/listinfo/active4d-dev Archives: http://mailman.aparajitaworld.com/archive/active4d-dev/ |

Re: What do I need to buy from 4D to develop inActive4D v11?No. Just for developing the included 1 external/1 internal ip address
is ok. It's just a little difficult for debugging. Normally you just tell various people "have a look at my new website". If more the one is doing this, one gets your real bugs and the other ones will tell you they can't reach your server. And they will formulate it so,that you don't know who is who. :) Am 18.05.2009 um 20:35 schrieb Steve Makohin: > What exactly is 4D's "Web Application Expansion" option for 4D Server? > Will I need it to develop in Active4D (for 4D v11)?

Re: What do I need to buy from 4D to developinActive4D v11?Yes.
It's a real pain, that the 4D Developer version can't be expanded. Am 19.05.2009 um 00:24 schrieb Steve Makohin: > Thank you! Looks like I need to buy 4D Server *and* the Web App > Expansion pack.

Re: What do I need to buy from 4D to develop in Active4D v11?> ...and the new web engine will execute PHP? No mention of PHP.. it's really unrelated to Apache, right? What was discussed briefly, that "something" in the future would generate JSON instead of just only XML. And 4D's focus will turn from AJAX to AJAJ..(Async JavaScript w/ JSON) http://www.json.org/js.html Again, Active4D is way ahead of the curve here :) sincerely, mehboob alam Electricity is actually made up of extremely tiny particles called electrons, that you cannot see with the naked eye unless you have been drinking. - Dave Barry ----- Original Message ---- From: Peter Schumacher <plist@...> To: active4d-dev@...

If you're using AJAX then Active4D's a4d.json library and a4d.utils.cud make the back end _very_ easy!

Yes indeed - saves massive amounts of very tedious and (therefore, in my case at least) error prone coding :-) John _______________________________________________ Active4D-dev mailing list Active4D-dev@... http://mailman.aparajitaworld.com/mailman/listinfo/active4d-dev Archives: http://mailman.aparajitaworld.com/archive/active4d-dev/ |
