PowerBuilder 12.5 .NET Next-Step Workshop
Monday-Wednesday, November 7-9
Important! Click Here if you are in the EMEA or Asia-Pacific regions!
Are you ready to take the PowerBuilder 12.5 .NET Next-Step?
So your company is energizing its developer resources and has been thinking about getting started with PowerBuilder.NET development. You think that this is a great idea and you’ve personally looked at PowerBuilder’s new Visual Studio IDE; because you know a bit about C# and .NET, you appreciate what WPF can do to modernize an application’s look. BUT, you haven’t had the chance to really “kick the tires” and put the product through its paces by building an actual application that is suitable for real world use case scenarios.
Thankfully, the Next-Step Workshop is available to provide you with an in-depth risk-free opportunity to hone your skills and help you build a solid foundation for successful application coding with the PowerBuilder 12.5 WPF .NET 4.0 platform. You will incorporate your vast knowledge of Classic PowerBuilder with essential PowerBuilder .NET 4.0 elements.
Application development is best mastered by “doing” so that a see it, feel it, touch it experience can be brought to bear upon the software itself. This workshop will help you “get your hands dirty” by challenging you with lab exercises in which you will build a fully functional, well partitioned business application using best practices and techniques.

"This class was the "jump start" that we needed to take the next step into .NET development. Yakov has learned the hard lessons and resolved the problems we were hoping to avoid and he shares them without any sugar coating. This is a great class for any PowerBuilder shop that is ready to step into the new technologies that will shape this decade of system development." — TechWave Attendee
