SAN JOSE, Calif., June 29, 2004 -- 4D, Inc., publishers of the 4th Dimension RAD/RDBMS Environment, 4D Business Kit and 4D WebSTAR Server Suite, today announced that Chuck Sholdt, vice president of operations and co-owner of Weather Central, a weather forecasting company that provides weather pages for nearly 200 U.S. newspapers, will be speaking about the innovative way Weather Central uses 4D at the WWDC next week. The presentation will be one of four case studies presented during the WWDC 2004 session 608: Database Solutions for Mac OS X. This session examines both in-house and commercial application development, looking at the unique offerings of four different environments for Mac OS X.
“Using 4D, Weather Central has developed a truly innovative way to deliver weather pages to many of the newspapers we read everyday,” said Brendan Coveney, president and CEO of 4D, Inc. “With 4D and AppleScripts, the company is able to automatically design and produce weather pages while reducing much of the human intervention needed in the past, a feat that has skyrocketed their profitability!”
“If AppleScript is the sizzle for newspaper production at Weather Central, then 4D is most definitely the steak,” said Chuck Sholdt. “It is the heartbeat of our workflow that allows us to produce weather pages for nearly 200 newspapers in the U.S.”
Weather Central Newspaper Services of Madison, Wisconsin offers a full array of weather
forecast products designed exclusively for newspaper publishing. The Apple Worldwide Developers Conference 2004 will be held June 28 - July 2 in San Francisco, CA. Session 608: Database Solutions for Mac OS X will be held on Friday, July 2, from 10:30 AM – Noon. For
