Powerbuilder 5.0 Fundamentals

From the Publisher: PowerBuilder 5.0, the latest release of the most popular tool for developers of client-server applications, has significant new features which enable the rapid creation and deployment of powerful applications. Improved object orientation tools for distributed application development, and enhancements to DataWindows add to the power (and to the complexity) of the product. To meet the challenge of learning to develop robust professional applications, developers new to PowerBuilder need a complete illustrated tutorial on the key features and functions of the dynamic PowerBuilder product. This book is a comprehensive guide to PowerBuilder 5.0 that introduces newcomers to the concepts behind client-server development and the most efficient ways of using PowerBuilder to develop and deploy GUI systems. Written by experienced PowerBuilder developers who have taught PowerBuilder to hundreds of graduate and undergraduate students, PowerBuilder 5.0 Fundamentals helps the developers master essential PowerBuilder skills and programming techniques. Although specifically written for PowerBuilder 5.0 running under Windows 95, the book also addresses developers and users working in Windows 3.1 and Windows NT. PowerBuilder 5.0 Fundamentals also comes with a WebExtra, a World Wide Web online extension, that includes the contents of the disk, additional chapters on topics such as Help and Frameworks, slides and presentations in PowerPoint format, and screen cams of the tutorial and advanced techniques sections, all available for downloading.
