ORDA - an ongoing revolution
Advanced Training Description
April 2nd 2020
ORDA technology was first introduced in 4D v17. It was a revelation… and yet just the beginning of a true revolution.
4D v18 brings you a modern and robust foundation for the future of your business apps. ORDA capabilities are drastically extended while retaining compatibility with ‘classic’ 4D code so you can smoothly migrate your existing applications.
The goal is to guide you along the path of changing the way you think about your code.
Some of the topics covered:
- Optimistic multi-user and entity locking best practices with practical examples.
- Integrating remote datastore(s) to have a homogeneous Distributed DBMS environment while maintaining the simplicity of code for a single database.
- Integrating dynamic (JSON) forms within an application for elevated flexibility with less coding, using Objects, CSS, and other modern ISP techniques.
- Exploring 4D advanced programming covering Formulas, Signals, Storage, using Variant type, Form events, Preemptive multi-threading, etc.
- Using introspection commands to help you to expertly analyze and optimize ORDA queries and network traffic.
