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...
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...
POWERBUILDER FUTURE? i am in Powerbuilder for past 4 Years.....currently i am in
india.
But my projects are in my last 4 years almost
maintenance & migration to advanced techniques...almost
zero development and the sad news is ,powerbuilder
developers are very less when compared to advance
techniques...

with lot of PB developers almost they are not using the
advance
techniques)
so everybody is going slowly out of PB technology...
In india last few years Pb usage is re...
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
after PB 6.5 and currently Sybase is shipping EAS which PB 7.0 forms part
of. Again I was at Sybase TechW...

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

The Future's bright... the future's XAML!
Nice one Microsoft!I am, of course, referring to the absolutely outstanding job you guys are doing on XAML - in one fell swoop, you're doing away with the hideous botches that are HTML and CSS and replacing them with a technology that truly makes them look like the amateur, Open Farce tools they are!And the best thing about it is this: I don't care that MS is a corporate outfit, wishing to tie people to their brand... the falacy of Open Source is that there's a lot of good folk out their doing stuff for free... Google puts the lie to that. My customer's won't care that they're being tied to ...

The Future of Powerbuilder #2I work for a fortune 500 company who is looking at developing a client
server software package. It is of course geared to be web enabled as well
as normal client server. As a Powerbuilder and Visual Basic programmer for
more than 8 years I believe that going with Powerbuilder on this project is
a good decision, my colleagues and managers does not. It has been rumored
for some time now that Powerbuilder is dying a slow but eminent death and
I'm rather saddened by this since I personally feel Powerbuilder is a great
tool to work with. I couldn't find any substantial informa...
