This is the fourth edition of "Advanced PowerBuilder Techniques". It allows programmers to develop expertise in advanced applications with the integrated Internet tools; deploy PowerBuilder applications using Java; and develop robust distributed applications using Jaguar CTS and PowerBuilder.

PowerBuilder (r) for power users. This latest edition of the #1 guide to advanced PowerBuilder techniques reveals powerful solutions to hard-core programming problems. From building business logic with User Objects, to creating layout forms with the HTML DataWindow, it offers step-by-step guidance on mastering the latest features of PowerBuilder 7. And, like its critically-acclaimed predecessor, it is loaded with proven, hard-to-find programming techniques, ready-to-run code, and real-world examples. The authors show how to: Develop applications using PowerBuilder's new and improved user interface Program using PowerBuilder Foundation Classes Build advanced applications with integrated Internet tools Develop robust, scaleable distributed applications with Jaguar CTS Develop Distributed PowerBuilder (DPB) applications Interface with Microsoft Messaging API, Open Repository CASE API, Word, Excel, Windows SDK, and version control software Solve network and performance problems Test and debug PowerBuilder applications CD-ROM includes: Source code from the book HOW 3.0 Learning Edition demo Visit our Web site at: www wiley.com/compbooks/
