Moving to PowerBuilder 11

Course Overview

Take full advantage of the PowerBuilder 8.0 Foundation Classes (PFC) by leveraging object-oriented programming to maximise object reuse and minimise development costs. Focus on the PFC's interface functionality and logic processing that is common to many applications. Understand how this functionality is constructed and used to provide greater flexibility and optimize productivity in the application development cycle. Explore how to leverage a service-oriented architecture to minimise resource overhead and maximise reusability. Learn, extend, and customise services via various sample applications.
