This tome reads like it was rushed to market to cash in on the (hoped for) popularity of Sybase tools for internet and distributed programming. It has some very basic, very high-level, very general information on internet technology (COM, CORBA, IIOP, etc.). This information is not specific to the Sybase toolset and could be found anywhere. Only about 1/10th of the book has anything to do with building distributed applications with Powerbuilder (or PowerJ) and that material suffers from a crippling lack of real-world examples. If I could give this effort "no stars" I would. My advice is to skip and save your money for the Barlotta book.

I also find it interesting that several negative reviews of this book have been dropped during the last month. Be not deceived. Dropping one set of bad reviews will only result in more bad reviews being posted, because this is a bad book.

I am quite new to PowerBuilder, Jaguar, and most important of all, JAVA. This book gave me a very good tutorial on JAVA and started my off on my way to using Jaguar. I recommend this book to all.

I found this book quite helpful to my line of work. I am quit new to powerbuilder and distributed computing. I liked the authors style of writing. It's technical content could be better but what other choices do we have these days?

Yes this was a good book. I really liked the authors of writing style, and I did not put the book down until I had almost read 4 chapters. Nicely layed out and well explained. I learned about the basics of distributed computing, then powerbuilder, and then using powerbuilder with easerver. I LOVED the java part since I am quite new to java. The author walked me through learning java and then gave me a very good comparison. Excellent read specially for the powerbuilder folks trying to convert to java... Well Done.

Esse é um bom livro para quem pretende iniciar odesenvolvimento com PowerBuilder 7.0 e Jaguar. O livro procuraexplorar bastante os recursos do Jaguar e explica com detalhes as características de uma aplicação 3 camadas.

Um bom livro para os desenvolvedores PowerBuilder.
