Last week I was able to get together a large group of iPhone Developers and I
took the opportunity to question them on the newly announced iPad. Firstly a
quick show of hands identified that approximately 30 of the group already had
iPhone OS applications on the Apple AppStore, some of which had multiple
apps. Cool... this was my starting point and a way to gauge actual community
feeling.
All of these developers were excited by the iPad and the mood amongst the
group, was that this could be the start of a new app 'gold rush'. Over 90%
were already looking into extending their current applications for iPad,
rather than relying on the pixel-doubling facility within the iPad and over
50% of them indicated that they were looking at brand new application ideas
that took adv... (more)

At SYS-CON Media we see our inventories are filling up to 100% capacity for
the months of November, December, and January, and we are seeing
better-than-normal RFP activity for the first quarter of 2010.
When I say this, I am comparing the current insertion order activity to the
same period last year. We will be closing 2009 roughly 32% below 2008 in

There's a lot of "legacy" PowerBuilder code that you might want to access
from .NET applications or perhaps PowerBuilder has some superior
functionality that you would like to make use of in a .NET application. Think
about how easy it would be to create a report in PowerBuilder with a
DataWindow. Of course, PB can provide functionality through Web Services (see

PBDJ Blog Post
Dear Reader,
I'm sorry for the delay in posting new material.
I wasn't silent because of a lack of new content or a change of heart about
blogging, nor a change in attitude toward PowerBuilder and Sybase technology.
Rather I was / am engaged in two significant projects to the exclusion of all
else.
The first of these projects occupied my December. I was taking code

Reads: 6,676  By Jeremy Geelan Cloud computing is a game changer. The cloud is disrupting traditional software and hardware business models by disrupting how IT service gets delivered. Entrepreneurial opportunities abound as this classic disruptive technology begins to proliferate, so it is no surprise that SYS-CON's industry-leading International Cloud Expo is going from strength to strength. Call for Papers is now open! Reads: 9,763  By Ellen Rubin The talk at the Cloud Computing Expo this week in Santa Clara was all about enterprise cloud adoption. Is it real? Is it already happening? If so, who’s doing it, which applications are they running and which clouds are being tested? To a large extent, cloud computing is a victim of its own somewhat out-of-control hype cycle. Since so much has been written and discussed about the cloud in 2009, there is now a growing impatience for actual results. Reads: 5,827  By Bill Roth The most anticipated talk of the day yesterday, at the 4th International Cloud Expo, was by the deputy CIO of the CIA, Jill Singer. Her talk was entitled, "Enterprise Cloud Computing, the Infrastructure’s Final Revenge." She acknowledged the problem with defining Cloud Computing, and then went on to give her paragraph-length definition of “the cloud”. Her talk focused on the part of the Cloud behind the firewall. “Today’s CIO must increase the flexibility of the infrastructure,” said Singer. Reads: 5,974  By Roger Strukhoff Yahoo aims to be one of the 800-pound gorrillas--along with Google, Amazon, and several major technology companies--in the upcoming battles for hosting dominance in the Cloud Computing space. As Shugar noted in the days before his presentation, the company "is developing and utilizing Internet-scale cloud computing services to improve the consumer experience, speed innovation, simplify operating environments, and reduce costs. Reads: 6,222  By John Savageau Having gone through a couple of decades worth of technology conferences, a familiar cycle occurs. For the first couple years, technology-related conferences are attended by engineers and operations people. Only after the technology has passed a couple of feasibility gates and begun to hit the business cycle do sales and marketing people take over. Cloud is now officially past the engineering phase, well into the sales phase – and the business community is scrambling to understand the implications of a virtualized world. Reads: 4,080  By Carmen Gonzalez The first "Ulitzer New Media Power Panel" took place today at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, California.

Reads: 5,211  By Fuat Kircaali As of January 2010, we booked more revenue for 2010 than the entire fiscal year 2009 actuals, including unearned income with record sponsorship sales for Cloud Expo East, Cloud Expo West and Cloud Expo Europe events.
Our revised revenue projections for 2010 is on track for an all time record revenues since our company's inception in 1994, including media sales up in January from a year ago.
As I made a reference to sponsorship and expo sales, I encourage all our sponsors to take contract option 2 which includes Cloud Expo 2010 East (New York City), Cloud Expo 2010 Europe (Prague, Czech Republic), and Cloud Expo 2010 West (Silicon Valley, California) events. Reads: 1,456  By Carmen Gonzalez Since we announced Cloud Expo three years ago in 2007 and launched it in March of 2008 in New York City, I have been personally working with the companies that are in leadership positions as the Cloud technologies form.
Today, we have close to a 100% resign rate among our sponsors for the upcoming Cloud Expo, which will take place April 19-21, 2010, at the Jacob Javits Convention Center in New York City.
I would like to take this opportunity to share some tips with all our valued sponsors, exhibitors, our rock start faculty, as well as our delegates. Reads: 2,057 |

One significant way that .NET migration differs from all others that came before it. It started off by me wondering, why is there is no version 12 .NET migration assistant like the one in previous versions? Then it dawned on me. The migration process is its own assistant! Here's what I mean. The version 12 .NET migration process is significantly different than any migration that came before it. For the first time in history migration is non-volatile; the original PBLs remain intact and are untouched by the migration process! 
The new versions are for PowerBuilder 11.2, and 11.5.1. STD has also uploaded versions of SQLXtract for PB 9.0.3 and 10.2.1 to SourceForge as well that were previously housed on Sybase's CodeXchange system.
The SQLXtract utility can be downloaded from STD's development area on SourceForge (click here).
This utility was developed with the anticipation that many PowerBuilder sites use Sybase’s DataWindow technology to gain access to various DataBase Management Systems. The DataWindow however, stores its SQL in a non-DBMS vendor specific format (known as a PBSelect to developers). This does not allow various SQL database analysis products access to the various DW SQL statements for processing.
