4D on Reddit
Did you know that there is a subreddit on Reddit called 4DApps: 4D Applications and Development?… Probably not because I just created it. Reddit offers a nice way to post links and comments about a particular topic and then allows users to up or downvote those posts. Imagine a 4D nug with upvotes. Enjoy!

Foundation Shell for 4D – Walt Nelson

Come see behind the scenes of Foundation Shell for 4D. Foundation is the premier shell for 4th Dimension that will get your database into the Application environment in just minutes. Even if you are new to 4D programming, you will find it easier to start with Foundation than to create a new database from scratch. Continue reading
Coders without borders
I hope everyone is having a terrific year! As I mentioned in our last meeting, we decided to rename the user group to a name that is less region specific. Streaming the meetings has allowed participation from all over the world, so the name may as well reflect that.
Given that most of our participation has been online via Google Hangouts or the Youtube live stream, I was thinking about a name like Virtual 4D & Wakanda User Group. However, apparently sounding like a 90’s video game with big fat goggles (virtual blah blah) is not in right now. So, I decided to go with a name that our 4D developers will find very familiar… 4DMethod – 4D & Wakanda User Group.
What do you think about the choice of name? Leave a comment and let us know!

Start the year off right
Greetings everyone, and happy holidays!
It’s been a while since we had a meeting. Let’s start off the new year getting together. I am thinking Jan. 7 looks like a good potential date. We will stream the meeting again online and post a recording of it on YouTube as well, so no need to be here in person. However, you are always welcome if you can make it!

A closer look at Wakanada – Saad Mousliki, Greg McCarvell
I am excited to announce our next user group meeting! This time around, we will focus on Wakanda. I recently had the good fortune to come into contact with Wakanda Customer Support Team Leader, Saad Mousliki. You can find several Wakanda demo videos by Saad on Youtube and check out some of his projects on Git. Given that he will be joining us from Morocco for a 30 minute demo, we will be meeting early at 11:00 AM Central on April 3. As usual, we will stream the meeting online. However members are always welcome to join us at the Art Institute of Chicago to attend in person. Continue reading
How to do your first Wakanda 4D integration – Joshua Capy
Our next meeting is Tuesday, June 11, 2013, and this time we will be focusing on Wakanda. Our guest speaker is:
Joshua Capy
Director of Knowledge Management at Clearspire
President, eCohere
Presenting: How to do your first Wakanda <-> 4D integration
When: June 11, 2013
Where: The Art Institute of Chicago, IS Department, 116 S. Michigan Ave, 3rd Floor, Chicago, IL 60603
Time: 6PM to 7:30PM CST
This is a pretty interesting topic for any veteran 4D developer. We have all seen the considerable progress that 4D has been making in building Wakanda, however how does one connect a legacy 4D database with a Wakanda server? Josh will walk us through his recent experience doing so for a client and give us some pro tips for Wakanda development.
