It's been a long time since we've had a new version of PowerBuilder. I don't know about you, but I've been very patient and can't wait any longer. I'm particularly excited about PowerBuilder 8 because many of its new features address the type of development I'm doing - building Web app...
PowerBuilder 8 6/12 Sybase announced the general availability of PowerBuilder 8 in conjunction with the celebration of the tenth anniversary of PowerBuilder(http://my.sybase.com/detail/1,3693,1012932,00.html). The features in the new version are discussed in a number of article...
In this article I cover the syntax for the new PB 8 exception handling, how to write the exception handlers that will improve your code, as well as issues concerning legacy code that currently implements exception-handling strategies.
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...

In this issue Tim Nesham covers in-depth the TRY-CATCH-FINALLY block, which is new to PowerBuilder 8. But what is really happening behind the scenes? This article will give some historical background on PowerBuilder, but will also focus on PowerBuilder exception handling.
PowerBuilder 8 is out now. And you're a developer using PB 7 (perhaps still using PB 6.5 or an even earlier version) and spending the majority of your time on 'traditional' client/server applications. You're asking yourself, 'Does PB 8 have anything for me?' The big new feature...
Two years ago, I interviewed Sybase's Bill Bartow - then vice-president of marketing and engineering for the Internet Applications Division. Among the things we discussed were Sybase's plans for PowerBuilder 8 (PB 8). Now that PB 8 is here, I'd like to look back at that interview and s...
The launch of PowerBuilder 8 coincides with the 10 year anniversary of the product. Sybase focused on three major areas in this release - the Web, EAServer integration, and n-tier development and productivity. Sybase has introduced a host of new features that speed up the development o...
