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.
