Aparajita, excellent screencast. Impressive on all fronts: content, presentation, results (of using A4D). Plus, I now know how to pronounce your name! :-)
Seriously, the demo makes it very alluring for any 4D developer to try out A4D. The ease looks compelling. That said, your presentation shows the power of a screencast. May I ask what tool(s) did you use to make your screencast?
