5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent introduction for beginners.,
By amci@hotmail.com (NJ, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Official PowerBuilder® 6 Fundamentals, Second Edition (Paperback)
I bought this book in desperation, after having trudged through the awful Using PowerBuilder 6 by Que, and having learned very little. It is an excellent, well designed, and thoughtfully laid out introduction to PowerBuilder that will have you up and coding in no time. I was a little put off by the 'Official' tag, expecting a re-hash of the online help, but this is an outside publication, written by people who know what they are talking about, and more importantly, know how to explain what they know. The book is divided into sections, each building on the previous. The tutorial in Section B is a great introduction to building applications with PowerBuilder. Forget Que's book, this is the introduction for beginners, and it also covers more advanced topics not even mentioned in Using PowerBuilder, like modifying the database .ini files. In summary, a great buy!

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent book especially for programming neophytes,
By A Customer
This review is from: Official PowerBuilder® 6 Fundamentals, Second Edition (Paperback)
This book is an excellent tutorial, even for the beginning programmer. If the instructions are followed as written, the results on the screen match the results in the book...the first time this has ever happened for me. It gives one a real sense of confidence. The book is wonderful, but the CD isn't. I got the 30-day demo to run by downloading and installing the one from the PowerSoft internet site, and haven't found much on the CD that has been useful yet.

By A Customer
This review is from: Official PowerBuilder® 6 Fundamentals, Second Edition (Paperback)
I had no PowerBuilder experience whatsoever, but after going through this book I have developed several applications. The book is written in a very basic and step-by-step manner. This is the best PowerBuilder book I have come across for beginners ever!
