Well said Pat
Having been a 4D developer for 30 odd years I've been to several of JPRs
training sessions and always come away having learnt something valuable.
Well wort the cost.
On the train home from the London World Tour I re-designed our old record
change auditing system.
Entities
I agree with Pat. Orda is a massive change and JPR really does make it quite
clear where the future is. Plus the resources included are great value for
money.

My head is buzzing with ideas and information following the World Tour
training day with JPR in sunny London. If you are serious about your work
and it isn't too late for you, you need to go!

Yes, it does cost a little. Probably somewhat less than you charge for a

Oh yes, automated testing! That will be a real boon for the developmental

Hi All,

you have any doubts about going please don’t.

I agree - it's easy to cherry-pick examples that are well-suited to ORDA. The
ORDA engine is definitely fast, but our tests show that the classic commands
are still faster overall. You just have to write a lot more code.
In my tests in client/server mode (and 4D always demos ORDA in
I agree with Kirk on the value of the World Tour.
What you get for the price is a no brainer for us.
Add showed really interesting things with dynamic forms, 4D Write Pro, and
4D View Pro.
I'll disagree a bit on the value of ORDA. JPR showed some examples of how
much faster ORDA can be than

Thanks for taking the time to think through this and write it out. The Summit

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

In either case, the only place I can think of where this

And this is where the 2nd day of the 4D World Tour and JPR’s presentation is so
valuable. He spends a lot of time talking about the worker process system. The
ideas behind how it works. The detail of when things happen. (Example: if you

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

Tim,
Thanks for all of the details from your time at the tour, it sound really
great. I'm happy to see that CALL FORM and CALL WORKER are being promoted,
that's great. I strongly encourage everyone to try these features out. If
you can find 30-60 minutes when you've got the feeling to experiment,
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

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.

I highly recommend going to the 4D world tour. There is always at least 1
tidbit that you walk away from events like this that makes the whole trip
worthwhile and JPR and Add are both fantastic presenters with tons of valuable
content.
So if you are on the fence, get off the fence and sign up
Agreed - very glad I went also.
This was a really good seminar. I hadn't been to a World Tour before -- JPR,
Add, and everyone from 4D were great. A lot is changing very quickly in 4D, and
JPR said v16 is just a stepping stone to what's coming.
Now is not the time to fall behind...
