PowerBuilder Developer's Journal
Yakov Werde has just written an article on DevX, which looks at the new version of Sybase's long running and successfull RAD development tool... PowerBuilder.
Yakov states...
'A dormant giant gets a new lease on life as a .NET-compatible development environment.'
I dont know if I totally agree with him on the use of dormant, as there are still many customers continuing to use PB, but the rest of his statement...how right he is, as PowerBuilder 12 .NET includes new features such as...
- A brand new MS Visual Studio 2010-based IDE
- .NET 3.5 CLR compliance
- A completely new UI windowing system based on Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF)
- Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) support for integrating applications into a service oriented architecture (SOA) design.
