The phenomenon known as Web 2.0 is more than just the web today. Reaching far beyond the browser, this name for live, interactive, user-manipulable data has come to define RIAs (Rich Internet Applications) and RDAs (Rich Desktop Applications). These represent a new generation of Internet-compatible applications that can be implemented across multiple platforms on personal computers, as well as mobile devices (PDAs, smartphones, etc.).

Users are demanding more from their solutions today. On top of having stores of reliable data, they want access to it from as many places as possible, by as many means as possible. In an increasingly mobile, connected world, your customers demand the latest technologies to access their data via Firefox, Safari, Adobe AIR, iPhone, Flex, Google Gears, HTML 5, online, offline – you name it! 4D Web 2.0 Pack is the fastest way for 4D developers to get their applications into the Web 2.0 world, often with hardly any new code at all.

In fact, 4D Web 2.0 Pack allows 4D applications go online and mobile without any knowledge of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Flash, etc. However, it’s flexible enough to accommodate those who do know these technologies, allowing them to seriously customize their implementations to deliver beautiful, powerful solutions.

4D Ajax Framework provides you with a 4D component that automatically enables your application data to be accessed by calls from a web server. This component, like any other, is very easily installed with a simple drag-and-drop into your 4D application. There are no new tables nor new forms to be added to your structure.

The package also provides the ready-to-use HTML, JavaScript, and CSS code (this is the framework itself) that reside on your web server. They combine to form numerous dynamic interface elements – just like in your desktop application – that can retrieve and modify the live data served up by your 4D database. If you’re familiar with these technologies – or have a web designer who is – you can mix and match as many of these elements as you like to create a Rich Internet front-end for your 4D application.
Additionally, 4D Ajax Framework includes a basic but full-fea- tured web client that gives your application a browser-based front-end with no coding whatsoever.
