" 4th Dimension 2003 is an extremely rapid development environment and exceptional for application integration," said Brendan Coveney, president and CEO of 4D, Inc. "When Steve Jobs first showed Keynote, he pointed out its dynamic presentation generation capabilities when integrated with a database and issued a challenge to database developers. We are the first database vendor to answer that call with a sample application which can be easily modified by our community of developers for their unique solutions."
