This guide is a complete introduction to the leading client/server development environment for Windows. The book covers all aspects of PowerBuilder--from the PowerBuilder Desktop to advanced data... This description may be from another edition of this product.
We used McClanahan's Developer's Guide for the training of our entire staff when converting programmers to client/server development with Powerbuilder. Most of the programmers became certified Powerbuilder developers using only this book.I have purchased and read most of the PowerBuilder books, and this is easily the most informative and pratical introduction. Every concept is explained with a working code example. A number of typos, all minor and obvious. Advanced concepts are explained in more detail than most of the "advanced" PowerBuilder books
Very clear and easy to follow.

I am an experienced Foxpro 2.6 programmer changing to PowerBuilder. This book was written at just the right level for a programmer switching to this environment. My experience programming in FoxPro made the transfer to PowerBuilder very easy. The book is written in a very easy logical order with excellent examples. I also program in dBASE5 for DOS and if this was the only language I programmed in I would find this book very difficult to follow. The reader must have experience in a windows environment to really understand the topics covered. This book is definetly for advanced programmers only!
