My last article (PBDJ, Vol. 8, issue 6), which introduced PowerBuilder 8 and Web targets, demonstrated how to create Web pages from within the PB development environment. This article reviews the 4GL Web server-side event model and discusses how it helps reduce development time...
I realize that many people are talking about nothing but Java, and yes, I'm writing Java components myself; however, PowerBuilder still lives on. There are many existing PowerBuilder client/server applications in production that need to be maintained and many that need to be move...
The development of the Web DataWindow is a great technological advancement. It's extremely helpful in moving an existing PowerBuilder application to the Web. Most PowerBuilder applications contain many DataWindows for the various screens and reports. The ability to quickly render the...
