PowerBuilder 9: Internet and Distributed Application Development

Summary: Amazing book/Handy reference
Review: For newbiew like me, this is the bible for entering the n-tier world with EAServer. Gives me a very good comparison with other options too.

After having bought this book for my work, I have found my colleagues who take this book for reference often appreciating it's contents, especially for the tips & tricks and well laid out examples.

I recommend all the PowerBuilder/Internet developers to invest in this book. Very affordable with good quality.

Summary: Should be called 'Developing for Sybase EAServer'
Review: Full book is devoted to Sybase EAServer. In some chapters you can learn something about PowerBuilder with EAServer. I was expecting more about JSP and Web Targets. Buy it **only** if you are planning to use Sybase EAServer.

Summary: Not helpful for me
Review: I am almost 10 Years with Powerbuilder. I thought this book will show me step by step EA Server and Internet Development, as the Cover Page named after. But this book completely disappointed me. Lots of contents without generating any interest to read the next page, even the next line....

Wish there be a good book on Powerbuilder 9 and Internet Development! This book is not really showing how to start up and go step by step building internet applications.

I am waiting for a good book on PB 9 in the market.

Summary: Rehash of old information
Review: I have worked with PB since its inception about 12 years ago. During that time I have purchased everything written about it. This is the worst effort put into print. It is simply a rehash of articles on xml, soap, and internet theory. There is no relationship between PB 9 and this text other than the mention of it by the authors. Save yourself some money and wait or something that actually shows you how to develop internet and distributed applications -- this one does not!!!

Summary: The Bible of Power Builder 9.0.1 and EAServer 4.2.1
Review: The best resourse for PB programmers who want migrate to web platform. The only resourse available to discover concepts in the steps of PB (User Objects) deploy to EAServer for web use.

Great distributed application concepts and evolution of infrastructures.

Good J2EE reference concerning to EAServer components.

If you're working with EAServer 4 you must have this book
