This review is from: Developing Enterprise Applications With Powerbuilder 6.0 (Paperback)

I almost did not buy this book. I read the reviews and the book received a pretty bad review from one reader. Fortunately I found it in the book store and took a look at it - I was impressed. This is a pratical book for experienced developers, not Sybase promotional literature. It covers a lot of advanced material (with examples) and the authors seem to speak from experience. I took a look at the reviews again an noticed the poor review was from a reader in public school. So I guess I you should not buy this book if you are learning PowerBuilder. I DO recommend the book for experienced developers.

5.0 out of 5 stars I really found this book useful., February 3, 1999

This review is from: Developing Enterprise Applications With Powerbuilder 6.0 (Paperback)

There are in-depth chapters on distributed PowerBuilder applications and building multi-lingual applications. These two topics are of interest to me. The chapters walked me through all the steps to distribute an application and to make our application multi-lingual. There are a lot of samples and the code is really simple to follow. There is also a lot of coverage of other "Enterprise" issues.

I really liked the book. It has a lot of good ideas about distributed applications, internet applications and powerbuilder 6. There is also a lot about Oracle and Sybase.
