Get Started with Qodly Studio

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. Fully integrated into 4D, it enables your 4D Server to host your application in parallel as a desktop or web application. The best part is that your customers don’t need extra installations or support.

This post delves deeper into why Qodly Studio stands out for 4D developers. We also have some valuable resources to share, like documentation, guides, and video tutorials that will pave your way to mastering Qodly Studio.

Remember to bookmark them for easy reference!

Let’s get started!
