Here we go with another set of tips and tricks.
The 4D Knowledge Base is a library of information about 4D technology where weekly tech tips and monthly tech notes are actively published. If you missed the last tips on the KB, that’s fine; here is a compilation from the past few weeks.
This blog post covers 20 tips:
macOS Sonoma Compatibility Information
Apple is about to release macOS Sonoma, and as usual, it is the moment to sum up which 4D release supports which OS version!
Please refer to the table below to gain insights into what you can expect in terms of OS support from our shipped and upcoming 4D versions:
New 4D View Pro Format File: sjs
For those of you working with larger and more complex 4D View Pro files, we understand the performance concerns that arise. To tackle this, we have introduced a new file format called .sjs. The .sjs format is a compressed file with multiple smaller JSON files, following a structure similar to Excel XML. This new format aims to enhance performance and optimize the handling of these files.
Masterclass: Run your 4D Application in a Web Browser
In a previous blog post, we unveiled our newest 4D offering — Qodly Studio (currently in developer preview), a powerful solution that targets full-featured complex business applications. And a set of resources to help you get started.
The good news is that the 4D Summit 2023 is just around the corner. During this event, a Masterclass will showcase how quickly you can move an existing 4D application on the web using Qodly Studio.
You’ll also get the chance to actively engage, ask questions, and have our team, including Marie-Sophie Landrieu, Laurent Ribardière, Thomas Maul, Mathieu Ferry, and others, address any queries you may have regarding Qodly Studio and beyond!
During the Masterclass, Marie-Sophie will provide live training, showcasing the new product capabilities as she creates a rental car web application from scratch from an existing desktop version.
The following provides just a sneak peek into what’s in store for your learning experience:
Qodly Studio in Action With These 3 Demos
In those previous blog posts, we announced the availability of Qodly Studio (currently in developer preview) to all our silver partners (and higher). We also gave you the first steps to get started with the tool.
Now it’s the perfect time to dive in and experiment with it by running some concrete demos!
We’ve been offering HDIs (How Do I?) guides for years to help you discover new features. But now, as we venture into this new era of web development, we’ve come up with a new term for these demos: PIQS, short for Play In Qodly Studio.
Even better, we’ll continue providing such demos for current and upcoming Qodly features. This means you’ll have daily guidance on mastering Qodly Studio!
So, let’s roll up our sleeves and start exploring right away!
