Fast Track to PowerBuilder 10

Course Overview

Learn to use PowerBuilder 10.0 to build and deploy a fully functional application using object-oriented programming techniques and application partitioning to meet the business requirements of a case study.

This course will help you get started on your projects more quickly and efficiently by helping you learn best practices for PowerBuilder development from the ground up and all the new features of PowerBuilder 10. Create and deploy a PowerBuilder non-visual object (NVO) from within the PowerBuilder IDE into EAServer and expose it as a Web Service. Hands-on lab exercises are used to reinforce the learning objectives for this course.
