4D on Reddit

Posted on April 26, 2015 by 4DMethod

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!

Coders without borders

Posted on February 15, 2015 by 4DMethod

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

Posted on December 8, 2014 by 4DMethod

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

Posted on March 16, 2014 by 4DMethod

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.
