Hi I’m collating resources for informing myself on new features and language for moving from v15 to v18. Plan to do it in one leap over a year at least. I don’t really see the point in hanging around in an intermediate version.
There is so much new stuff it’s getting overwhelming because now, on top of all the language revolution we have things like Git support, plugin specialisations, interoperability technologies etc. Where to start ? Best place to learn ORDA for example, is it the v17/18 language reference ? That’s where I’d usually start (or in fact with the “upgrade manual” but v18 doesn’t have one). Objects - “New Object” command, object notation, new way of using forms (with object instead of global variables). What’s the difference between a “Database” and a “Database Project” ? Is that "Design Reference" material ? I haven’t read a 4D Design Reference since the 80’s. Has anybody been through all this stuff from to finish ? What would be the recommended starting point ? Waiting on new technologies from 4D is like waiting on a bus. None come for eons and then they all arrive at once. I’m trying not to get run over !
