The future of PowerBuilder...That subject line should get your attention. <g>
I'm very pleased with the participation in this group. We've obviously
provided a well for a very thirsty group of developers!
As you may or may not know, PB 9 is about to go into Beta and the
feature set has pretty much been frozen. I know a lot of these
requests are for very useful features and hopefully many will some day
be incorporated into PB. I don't know what can be done for PB 9 at
this point. Just don't want to falsely get people's hopes up.
What I would like to do, is raise the discussion to a h...
The future of PowerbuilderI am looking for opinions and viewpoints. I think
Powerbuilder has 2 distinct and quite different markets.
The small to medium sized software market and corporate IT
market. In the software market where results are easy to
measure on the bottom line I think PB is doing just fine.
The productivity, efficiency and swift development process
suites that market just fine. Just keep your customers
happy. I am amazed at what I have seen in PB based software
packages considering the total lack of documentation. That
speaks volume on the capabilities of PB if you just get into
it.
O...
PowerBuilder futureI wonder what is the future of PB. I have just saw an
article which Jhon Chen (Sybase CEO) says the following:
According to Chen the company had become over-diversified,
and
lost sight of its core competencies. "A lot of our
businesses were very inefficient," he explains. "I was
asking, 'why are you doing this?' You know we had an SAP
consulting business - what for? We had a product that
competed with Microsoft Visual Basic - what for? I had to
get rid of some bits and pieces."
In my understanding, the only Sybase product that have
competed with VB is...
Future of PowerbuilderHi,

Looks like it is time to jump out of the ship!

ComputerWorld!!! What a piece of ....
I haven't read the article, but I don't have to. I had a subscription to
ComputerWorld once. ComputerWorld was one of the biggest fans of the Apple is
dead movement. Guess they were wrong there...
The journalism in that magazine is terrible. Over the course of a year
subscription, I read most of the articles for about six months. Then I threw it
away until the subscription ...
POWERBUILDER FUTURE? i am in Powerbuilder for past 4 Years.....currently i am in
india.

The Future of PowerBuilderHello!
Earlier this year, I came across an article in one of the
weekly industry newspapers that stated that Sybase
was telling major customers that PowerBuilder will be
discontinued after version 8.0.
(I can't remember which newspaper had the story and
I can't seem locate it by doing a Google search.
But I'm not making this up - I really did see it.)
At the PowerBuilder Information Site ( www.justpbinfo.com )
I came across the following article:

Except you should not believe everything you read. I remember the mutterings

of. Again I was at Sybase TechW...
PowerBuilder and socketsI am having trouble to establish a connection from a PowerBuilder
Application to a
Unix-demon-process via Berkley Sockets..
Using an Unix-Client everything works fine, but trying to do the same
coding in a
Power-Script the client can't reach the demon-process. To use the
socket-related
functions (like socket(), connect(), etc.) i declared them as local
external functions.
This is my Code:
<External Function Declarations>:
Function uint socket(int af, int typ, int protocol) Library
"wsock32.dll"
Function int connect(uint sfd, REF s_sockaddr_in sockaddr, int ...

Future of IT and place for PowerBuilder???Hi all:
As you know, we've gone through many changes in IT:
1. Mainframe Computing
2. Client Server
3. Distributed (3-Tier)
4. Distributed (N-Tier/Web)
Given the fact that there's a possibility of great improvements in network
speeds and improved deployment methods, which of the following in your
opinion would become popular?
1. Thin-client, multi-tier, non-browser based technology become popular (and
hence boost PB market???)
2. Thin-client, multi-tier, browser-based web-technology (featuring
rich-client look) (and consequently PowerBuilder would evolve into a
