Ditto to what everyone else has already said about the 4D World Tour 2017 in Denver. Sorry I’m late posting, but all I can add is the knowledge and advice gained from the training is “priceless.” The ROI is off the charts. All the presenters were well prepared and explained a lot of the new

I know I'm late to this and that there's only the one World Tour event left (I had a three day, drinking from a firehose client meeting after the WT). BUT, I thought about not going, because, ya know, maybe JPR might have lost some of the perk in his "poof, it is done". And I don't have enough

Well, I thought I was talking about workers in general, but that was under the assumption that all processes have some kind of execution cycle. Are you saying that a non-UI process (ex. pre-emptive thread) won’t have an execution cycle? In either case, the only place I can think of where this

I also just got back from the World Tour. It was great to see some of you again and the information was very helpful. Add had some great demos and JPR shared a lot of great information. One thing JPR helped me understand better is that a worker is basically just a process ready to do things.

David, I completely agree!!! Call Form and Call Worker are really more accurately named and described by your naming. > As a quick heads-up, I think that the most accurate names for these commands > are respectively: > > EXECUTE METHOD IN WINDOW > EXECUTE METHOD IN WORKER Thanks Justin Will

I was at the 4D World Tour in Denver and I agree with John. It was excellent. Probably better than the last world tour 2 years ago. I highly recommend it to everyone. And that includes all you guys that think you are 4D experts and already know all that you need to know about 4D. You don’t know

Oh, and Add did a great job expelling and demonstrating how to use subforms. You really need to wrap your head around them as they provide such flexibility. As I move forward I will try and use subforms every change I get. JOhn... > Hi All, > > I just returned form the 4D World Tour in

Hi All, I just returned form the 4D World Tour in Denver. I am very happy I went. I learned quite a bit about where 4D is “theoretically” going and where 4D is “currently" at. All the 4D presenters were excellent - even the new guy! And you know who you are. Add did a great job of taking
