4D Sites

4D Today: Offering daily 4D news items, programming tips, surveys, and a plethora of other items, 4D Today should be visited daily.
Impact4d.org: Impact4d.org is composed of several areas: A technical area puts at your disposal 4D source code, open source components, freewares and 4D demo databases. Some are quite surprising if one thinks it's written in pure 4D without any plug-in! Many videos are available for these presentations. The editorial area contains many papers from different authors (some in English) shedding an acute sight on 4D's world... sometimes abrasive and stimulating. The survey area merges all the surveys done on the site (it's generally uncompromising and in tune with 4D burning issues...). Well, a lot of material... plan to take some time to visit it all!

Un espace technique met à votre disposition du code source 4D, des composants open source ou freeware ainsi que des bases 4D de démonstration. Certaines assez surprenantes si l'on pense que tout est écrit en pur 4D sans le moindre plug-in ! De nombreux films vidéo pour ces présentations ... L'espace rédactionnel contient de nombreux billets de différents auteurs (certains en anglais)portant un regard aiguisé sur le monde 4D ... c'est quelque fois très décapant. L'espace sondage regroupe les résultats de tous les sondages réalisés sur le site (c'est souvent sans compromis et en prise directe avec l'actualité 4D un peu chaude ...). Bref, beaucoup beaucoup de matière ... prévoyez du temps pour tout visiter!
