“Whenever someone asks me about supplemental 4D documentation or
literature, I tell them to buy ‘Programming 4th Dimension: The Ultimate
Guide’
by David Adams and Dan Beckett. It is the first book that I have ever
recommended because the authors have a very good understanding of 4D and
have found a way to write it in a very instructive and pleasant language.
This is the book that I always dreamed of writing, but never had the time.”
