4D in a Few Words

4D is an integrated development platform – a single product comprised of the components you need to create and distribute professional applications.

You get a graphical design environment, SQL database, a programming language, integrated PHP execution, HTTP server, application server, executable generator, and much more.

4D offers multi-platform development and deployment, meaning whatever you create on a Mac can be used on Windows, and vice-versa.

Put it all out there

Beyond productive development, 4D is renowned for its great flexibility in maintenance and modification of existing applications, and its extreme ease of implementation in its numerous deployment options.

Your professional application can be put into production more quickly, at a lower cost, and will always be instantly scalable.

4D makes it easy, whether  you're looking to create a classic desktop application, a client-server system, a distributed solution for Web or mobile clients – or all of the above !
