5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent PB7 reference for developers of all skill levels, November 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Advanced PowerBuilder(r) 7 Techniques (Paperback)

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.
