This year TechWave 2007
took place at Mandalay
Bay in Las Vegas. For
those of you who didn't
make it, the following is
a recap of the events,
with a couple of thoughts
and suggestions thrown
in. Officially the only
thing going on Sunday was
conference registration.
However, there is a
private TeamSybase/Sybase
reception on Sunday
evening where, among
other things, new
TeamSybase members are
inducted. This year we
added one new member:
Roland Smith.
As Sybase's largest
annual technical training
conference, TechWave is
the place to meet the
experts, hear first-hand
what's new, and network
with thousands of
industry professionals
like you. It also
contains a wealth of
in-depth content that
would be hard to find
elsewhere, so when all
that's added together,
there's no better value
for the money around.
I went to TechWave a bit
early because TeamSybase
was holding their
reception on Saturday
evening. At the reception
TeamSybase initiated
several new members. If
you'd like to view some
of the video from the
super-secret initiation
ceremony, go to www.youtu

I went to Vienna for the
Sybase Development Tools
Boot Camp in November, my
first trip to Europe.
Haven't seen much yet,
except the duty free
sections of the airports,
after my 10-hour flight
from Johannesburg, and a
nice three-hour stopover
at Schiphol Airport in
Amsterdam. Then the
two-hour trip to Vienna,
and a half-hour taxi ride
to the hotel here in
Vienna. 
This year TechWave 2005
took place at Caesars
Palace in Las Vegas. For
those of you who didn't
make it, the following is
a recap of the events,
with a couple of thoughts
and suggestions thrown
in. 
You may be asking
yourself, what's
happening in the
Microsoft Windows Mobile
space? Well, Reed Shilts
(in his trademark
Hawaiian and
PocketBuilder slogan
shirts) and I attended
Microsoft's MEDC 2005,
Mobile & Embedded
Developers Conference,
which took place in Las
Vegas, Nevada, on May
10-12, 2005, as an
exhibitor. The purpose
was to evangelize about
Sybase UnWired Products
along with iAnywhere.
From Application
Virtualization to Xen, a
round-up of the
virtualization themes &
topics being discussed in
NYC June 23-24, 2008 by
the world-class speaker

International
Virtualization Conference
& Expo being held by
SYS-CON Events in The

Sybase announced that
AJAX development
capabilities and further
Microsoft .NET
enhancements have been
added to the latest
version of Sybase
PowerBuilder 11, the
premier 4GL rapid
application development
(RAD) tool. PowerBuilder
11.2 represents another
milestone in the
PowerBuilder road
In June of 2007, Sybase
released PowerBuilder 11.
PowerBuilder developers
can now deploy
PowerBuilder components
as .NET Assemblies or as
.NET Web Services. A
PowerBuilder developer
can now create these .NET
resources so that those
who develop .NET
solutions can benefit
from PowerBuild
A shortcoming of
PocketBuilder 1.x and 2.x
has always been the
difficulty in accessing
Web Services. This
shortcoming had always
irritated us, but the
limitations of the
PocketPC and the size of
the traditional
PowerBuilder approach
prevented us from
providing an adequate
traditional s
