In-Depth Review of .NET Language Enhancements

Date: Thursday January 12th at 11am EST (New York) / 17h00 CET (Paris)

PBTVLogo

As a .NET language, PowerBuilder 12 supports the Microsoft Common Language Specification (CLS.) We’ll review the CLS, learn how to utilize external .NET resources, how to create .NET Consumer Role compatible applications using the PowerBuilder 12 Classic IDE, and how to create .NET compatible extenders using the PowerBuilder .NET IDE.

PBTV: Building Modern PowerBuilder Applications

Wednesday December 14th 2011
at 11am EST (New York) / 17h CET (Paris)

PBTVLogo

PowerBuilder 12 remains a potent application development platform that arguably remains the highest-level programming environment for .NET available. But times change: user interfaces are now “User Experiences”, and Windows 7 was a UX game changer. The Internet is ubiquitous, and today, application access is taken for granted. Yet users still want applications that are both powerful and pleasant to use, as well as systems that leverage their computing platforms of choice effectively. In this session, a real-world development project to build an entirely modern, Enterprise-class PowerBuilder application from the ground up will be explored. Topics will include the strategic decisions made regarding platforms, architecture, appropriate reuse, and designing a look and feel with an eye towards for the future. So long MDI, hello WPF. In addition to showing this groundbreaking development effort, the speaker will discuss a variety of ways to update older PowerBuilder applications to achieve higher user satisfaction and productivity, and how to leverage the Sybase design and development tools appropriately. A variety of Sybase tools, including PowerDesigner, PowerBuilder 12 Classic and WPF, and Appeon 6.5 will be demonstrated.

 There is still time to join us on Thursday, December 8th at noon ET for the webcast “GeoEnviron – A Practical Look at Simplifying a PowerBuilder User Interface” featuring Geokon’s innovative PowerBuilder Development Manager, Michael Kramer.

Geokon was honored with the 2010 ComputerWorld Honors Laureate for its GeoEnviron product for identifying, documenting, analyzing and planning environmental clean-up projects in less time and with greater accuracy. By taking full advantage of PowerBuilder’s DataWindow technology and time-saving coding features, the GeoEnviron team was able to revamp their user interface across 2,400 DataWindows in less than a week.

In this webcast, Michael will give you a guided tour through the award-winning GeoEnviron application, discuss the reasoning and process behind its design, quantify the cost-savings of using the PowerBuilder platform, and share the actual production code as he covers:

  • How to create a simplified, yet highly intuitive user experience using PowerBuilder for native Windows applications including how to integrate with 3rd party applications
  • How the user interface implements a modern look within an MDI frame using numerous coding techniques and design elements
  • DataWindow techniques from tool tips to Google® maps on a report to query-by-example
  • Developer tooling – setting up the PowerBuilder IDE, writing developer tools in PowerBuilder, and auto-converting UI using dwModify

Don’t miss this interview style, interactive webinar! Register now! It’s a convenient, easy, way to learn how you can update and modernize your applications from award-winning PowerBuilder “Rock Star” Michael Kramer, from Geokon.

PBTV: Add Single Sign-On to PowerBuilder Applications

Thursday December 8th 2011
at 11am EST (New York) / 17h CET (Paris)

PBTVLogo

It is essential to list all the important points to take into account when creating a Single Sign-On system. The principle of SSO may seem simple to explain, but in reality it implies numerous functionalities. Additionally, your system may need to support certain complex technical specifications that will add to the functional complexity. During this webinar we will list these points and present a solution that will ensure the success of your project. This solution will be illustrated with concrete examples and case studies. We will also include information allowing attendees to calculate the ROI of each solution: software and material costs, implementation times, etc…

PBTV: PowerBuilder and the Cloud

Thursday November 3rd 2011
at 11am EST (New York) / 16h CET (Paris)

PBTVLogoAccording to Forrester, the global market for cloud computing will increase six-fold to $240 billion by the end of the decade. In this session, we’ll discuss the core components and attributes of a cloud solution – focusing on Microsoft Windows Azure – and investigate the advantages of and opportunities for adapting existing PowerBuilder applications (and building new ones) to work in a cloud environment. We’ll specifically take a look at how to host PowerBuilder Web services in the cloud as well as how to leverage cloud services – including SQL Azure – from an application built to run in-house. After a combination of slides, demos, and discussion you’ll leave with a better understanding of how you as a PowerBuilder developer and architect can stake your claim in the cloud.

PBTV: Let Users Customize Screens & Reports by Themselves

Tuesday October 25th 2011
at 11am EST (New York) / 17h CET (Paris)

PBTVLogo

When many users request different changes, you cannot duplicate and adapt the application for each of them: maintenance would soon become impossible.

This webinar will show how to make the application “customizable” by the end-users themselves.
They would use simple tools to define changes, without viewing or modifying your code, and you would keep maintaining and deploying a single copy of the application.

This solution will be illustrated with concrete examples and case studies.
We will also include information allowing attendees to calculate the ROI of the solution, including software and material costs and implementation times.
