Editorial Reviews

Review

"With few titles available detailing the breadth and depth of PowerBuilder it's good to find a title that demystifies everything you need to know about building PowerBuilder 6 web and server applications.

A PowerBuilder veteran, the author goes far beyond glancing over the nuts and bolts offering a variety of welcome insights without leaving beginners in the dust." -- CompBookReview.com, October 99

5.0 out of 5 stars An Incredible Book, October 1, 1998

By 

REB (Austin, Texas United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Internet & Intranet Applications with Powerbuilder 6 (Paperback)

This book covers every aspect of programming in PowerBuilder for the net. This is not a difficult subject, but it is complex. There are a lot of setup issues and there is a change in programming style from the traditional PowerBuilder. This book covers all of that in easy to understand style. It does so completely and in such a fashion as to make it easy to follow.

I would recommend this book to all PowerBuilder programmers, you never know when you are going to be faced with a PowerBuilder project that has to be on a net.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Technical Jumpstart, August 13, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Internet & Intranet Applications with Powerbuilder 6 (Paperback)

This was an excellent technical jumpstart into using Web.PB and other PowerBuilder 6 internet development tools. Fortunately, Powerbuilder 7 is much richer (read better) for web development. But unfortunately this book only covers PB 6 techniques. I would still recommend it for folks needing to get PB6 to do web stuff. There are even fewer books out on PB7 and EAS.

I would also highly recommend "Distributed Application Development with PowerBuilder 6.0" by Michael J. Barlotta. (another Manning book).
