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!

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!
