Development

Choose one of three license types that best suits your needs: 4D Developer Standard to use the standard functions of the development environment, 4D Developer Professional to use all design, compilation, and plug-in options, or 4D Team Developer Professional to develop your applications in teams.

Create your data structure From the moment you create the first field of your first table, your relational and transactional database is operational. You may import and edit your data immediately.
Design your interface Use the many tools and automated functions of 4D's form editor. Create user menus and manage access rights... The interface of your dreams is at your disposal.
Program your methods Control the behaviors of various objects, forms, and events called upon by the user thanks to a comprehensive language, loaded with 900 commands within 64 types (queries, printing, pictures, web, etc). Use predictive data entry in the method editor to write your code quickly and precisely. Use variables and pointers to cover your repetitive routines. Launch multiple processes to create high level interfaces and ever more complex, intelligent systems.
Check your work Keeping with the plan, execute and debug your methods real-time without ever leaving the development environment. And fix your errors - if any - with the help of our syntax verification tool.
Compile Compile all your source code in native machine language, test it right away, and verify its speed without ever quitting your application. (Requires 4D Developer Professional or 4D Team Developer Professional)
