The 4D Web Companion provides, in David Adams' uniquely lucid style, the first really clear and accurate description of the 4D Web server. At the same time, it describes robust strategies for implementing Web-based database solutions using 4D or other Web servers. I cannot recommend this volume highly enough to 4D programmers of any experience level.

Anyone thinking about doing any kind of Web development with 4D should buy this book! This is an essential guide and reference to anyone wanting to use any of the Web publishing or Internet integration features available with 4D. In 450+ pages David has covered every angle of 4D's Web functionality, including 3rd party plug-ins and products which can be used with 4D. This is far more than a supplement to the 4D documentation and is suitable for developers of all levels who want to get up to speed with Web development in 4D, fast!

If you are in need of a comprehensive and structured tutorial on 4D Web "stuff" - look no further! This book covers how 4D works with the Web, what commands to use for a task type, tips, traps, and even a general "how the Web works" explanation. Once again, David has done a superb job. 10 out of 10!

Mr. Adams new efforts provides unprecedented guidance for 4D developers everywhere. No single source of materials encompasses the breadth, or depth, available with this new book. Finally, any 4D developer can learn in detail what is necessary to move a 4D database online. This book sets a new standard.

At long last there is a book that helps 4th Dimension developers embrace the Web. This is that book. Dave's enjoyable writing style, mixed with a broad base of information, ensures that the developer's journey into the Web with 4D is easy and fun. I commend and applaud David for writing this book, and urge anyone that is even thinking of using 4D in anyway with the Web, to buy this book and read it cover to cover. Without this, the road is long and difficult. Do yourself a favor and get this book immediately.
