Develop Faster

There are no hard proven metrics for measuring developer productivity, so we prefer to listen to what our beta testers tell us. They have spoken in unison in telling us that developing in 4D 2004 is leaps and bounds ahead of any other development environment they've used. Whether it is the additional 80 commands, the new Method editor macros, which can do the coding for you, the ease of integration with other applications such as MS Office, or the simplicity of accessing legacy databases, 4D 2004 simply enables you to develop better, more powerful applications quicker.

Deliver Easier

So you've developed the killer application, now you have to deliver. This is where most environments let you down—not 4D 2004! 4D 2004 is a speed demon, with performance up to 200 times faster than previous versions, powering your applications to run quicker than ever without any coding changes, ensuring happy and satisfied end users. We've revolutionized application distribution by not only automatically distributing any new updates in your application, but also automatically updating any revisions in the 4D Client software. Ever been called out because the database server had crashed and you’re faced with data loss/data corruption issues? Never again! 4D 2004 has an automatic recovery feature that integrates any changes that weren't saved before the crash. And because 4D 2004 can be set to automatically restart on Windows and Mac, your users may not even know the server crashed. Simply put, 4D 2004 empowers you to deliver powerful applications that keep on running and running. Learn more...
