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.
