Advanced PowerBuilder? 7 Techniques [With CDROM]

by Ramesh Chandak

PowerBuilder is like a high-level Visual Basic. It's a premier object-oriented application development tool used in the creation of client/server applications using many relational databases, including Sybase, SQL Server, ORACLE, and ODBC. Over the course of its numerous incarnations, PowerBuilder has remained popular - the PowerSoft forum featuring PowerBuilder on the Internet is constantly inundated with queries. Scheduled to arrive mid-1999, PowerBuilder 7 features many features and changes to its architecture, all of which can only serve to increase its appeal throughout the programming world.

Excellent PB7 reference for developers of all skill levels

This is an excellent resource for Powerbuilder developers. Though the title indicates that it's for advanced users, I think that any developer will find this book to be quite useful... so don't let the word "advanced" intimidate you (the first part of the book covers the basics, if you need a review). On the other hand, those developers who have been using powerbuilder since the days of the dinosaur will get a lot out of this book. The author covers several advanced development issues that aren't discussed in most PB books. This book is well written & organized, and has a ton of examples. Highly recommended.
