In this article we're going to take a database and create our own mini version of an 'Amazon-like' item lookup. That is to say, any .NET or .NET-compatible client will be able to look up items in our database via the Web by simply providing a UPC. This article will show you how. To com...

Since I'm in the middle of moving to a new city and need to get organized, I thought I'd roll a little application using SQL Anywhere, PowerBuilder, and Amazon Web Services to help organize my media collection. In doing so, I'm going to check out some cool features in SQL Anywhere, in ...
Text messaging is cool. Voice messaging is even cooler. Wouldn't it be great to be able to add that functionality to your PowerBuilder apps as well? For example, when an event occurs within your application, let your users receive real-time notification via SMS or voice messaging to th...
Did you ever wonder where your kids are driving around on a Saturday night? Perhaps you are a business owner and need to know where your workforce is located on different job sites. With the help of PowerBuilder, a wireless connection, a GPS receiver, and Microsoft MapPoint, you can tr...
We begin this article by asking the question, why would you want to add caller ID to your PowerBuilder applications anyway? I can think of about a handful of applications for it, mostly revolving around picking a phone number and querying a database. For example, 'Good morning, Chance,...
A session-based synchronization technology designed to synchronize UltraLite and Adaptive Server Anywhere databases with many industry-standard SQL database management systems from Sybase and other vendors. We use it to synchronize data from one or more bookstores to a consolidated dat...
We begin this article by answering a few questions. Namely, what is VoIP? What is Skype? And why would you want to integrate these capabilities into your PowerBuilder applications?
Two things have my interest these days: the arrival of PB 10.5 and TechWave 2006! (Yes, that's right, I'm already planning ahead.) So, I thought I'd take this opportunity to roll a little application using MS MapPoint to illustrate what's new in PowerBuilder 10.5 Web services as well a...
We begin this article by asking the question: Why would you want to integrate real-time GPS data into your PowerBuilder applications anyway? After all, it's not likely you are going to connect a GPS receiver to your desktop computer and ask yourself where you are currently located. (At...
Why do a physical inventory? A physical inventory count is necessary to reconcile the quantity on hand stored in a database versus what is really on the shelf. In a retail environment, this process is typically done once a year. In a perfect world, these values would always be in sync.
