The future of object-oriented development with 4D

36:00 min

Abstract

The 4D language saw huge enhancements in 4D v17 and v18, with features such as object notation, variant, and formula objects. But this was just the beginning, there’s much more in the pipeline. During this session, Laurent Esnault (4D’s VP of Engineering), will provide insights about recently added features – and about major enhancements currently in development.
