- We subscribe to the Dimensions magazine where I work and it is quite good so
- far. With the new low price I'm considering subscribing for myself now.
- The first issue had some errors and a few examples of poorly written code
- but since then the quality has been great. Even though I write what I feel to
- be pretty decent databases I still find a lot of good ideas and information
- in the magazine. They have gotten a bit behind on the printing schedule but
- they did send out notices letting everyone know why the delay was being caused.
-
- We ordered the books but haven't had them come in yet. I don't know that
- they will have much in store for someone who allready had a good grip and
- several years of 4D programing, but it's worth a look. If nothing else we
- will have something to show our newer programers when we start training them.
