This review is from: Foundations of Powerbuilder 5.0 Programming (Paperback)

This book teaches not only basic concepts of PowerBuilder, but also how to create real world applications. The authors are very serious on the quality of this book, one of the authors responded my e-mail about this book. I hope to see more books from these authors.

5.0 out of 5 stars The book which will teach you from a to Z, July 1, 1999

This review is from: Foundations of Powerbuilder 5.0 Programming (Paperback)

Throughout many books available for PowerBuilder today this one is more deeply and carefully covers all the details you will need from day to day operations. I've red over dozens of books and I think that this one the only one that is not tells you where to click, but teaches you how to build an application and logical design. I do hope that authors of the book (B. Smith and G. Schaad) will issue a newer version that will cover features implemented with PB 6.x and PB 7

This is by far the easiest-to-read and -understand book I have read on PowerBuilder. It is very well edited also, with no grammatical or spelling errors that I could discern. This is a far better book on PowerBuilder than I have read by any other author. Bravo!
