Hi Everyone, I'll pitch in here, too - I attended the World Tour in Chicago earlier this week (yeah, I live in Boston where it is also offered, but that's another story). I was impressed with the amount of preparation the 4D team did for the tour, with many good examples on the USB key and good, practical presentations.
I got a lot out of the demo on the use of subforms and how they have their separate 'scope' - the idea of modular form design, reusing various bits by using subforms - is a game changer for me. Also JPR's commentary on what's coming and what you should do now to get ready for it was illuminating: get on the CALL FORM and CALL worker bandwagon, sensibly prepare for 64 bit, start getting rid of interprocess variables and MODIFY RECORD, etc. JPR always has good insights into what you should be doing now to make life better later. The second day to me was worth the money with just the demo database that showed how to use objects to create user-created "fields". There's a lot of new good stuff in this realm, such as being able to query within an objects contents and such. If you are not using objects yet, or even if you are, this is a great day of learning. So I can recommend from my own experience that your time will be well spent. Go when it is in your area. You get a USB key for each day that is loaded with stuff, including a 42 page "Moving to v16" manual written by JPR. Hope this helps some folks!
