5.0 out of 5 stars A Complete Reference Of Powerbuilder 6.0 (All Versions), September 9, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Powerbuilder 6.0 Unleashed (Paperback)

The book goes into as much detail as most CPD's need. The reference ability does match powerbuilders on-line books. But as a secondary tool the book is useful.

After reading Oracle Unleashed I decided to try this book. I wasn't disapointed. Take advice and buy the book!

This review is from: Powerbuilder 6.0 Unleashed (Paperback)

IF you want to own a book that looks impresive and does little to help you understand about Powerbuilder, then this is the book for you. There is more usless information in the book then one can create an object class for.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good reference book, March 11, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Powerbuilder 6.0 Unleashed (Paperback)

This is not a quick guide to PowerBuilder but it's a really best reference book out there.

Even for beginner's, this is a good book since learning curve for PowerBuilder is NOT steep.

Also it covers some database stuffs(as advantage of using PowerBuilder stems from easy integration with database through datawindows) that I found useful
