4D for Fun & Profit:
Thoughts on the Life of a 4D Developer


From 1994 to 1997,  I traveled extensively, doing 4D training. In addition to the technical 4D training, I also shared insights and experiences about the life of a 4D developer.

The students in my classes told me that I "ought to write a book" containing all that accumulated wisdom. I did, and I called the book 4D for Fun & Profit. It was originally published in 1995 as a printed volume.  I sold several hundred copies of the book at $99.00 per copy. It was even translated into Japanese!

At that time, it cost me nearly $40.00 per copy to produce the book. Now, however, with the advent of the Internet and PDF, my publication costs are almost nil. Therefore, I have decided to give away the updated 2011 version of 4D for Fun & Profit.

I am in the process of updating every word in every chapter, to reflect the realities of today's 4D developer. As I finish updating each chapter, I will post it on this site.
