This product line also has the advantage of providing an
integrated development environment for a variety of client
types. As developers, we can work in one unified and
consistent environment whether we are developing for
Macintosh based Clients, Windows clients, web browser
clients or web services requests.
The product is easily extensible through a plug-in
architecture, and a number of mature, high quality plugins
are available.
Prairie Solutions, Inc. also uses its own Studio
4D® shell as a starting point for all of its
projects. This shell contains an extensive set of code
libraries that provide a complete set of user interface
objects and a robust set developer and back office tools.
This greatly reduces the time required to develop feature
complete, reliable custom databases.
Once deployed, our projects run as a single application.
There is no need to license and configure separate
back-end, middle-ware and front-end applications. All
licensing is done on a concurrent user basis, and there are
no restrictions on how many instances of the client
application are installed.
