Product Description

Product Description
A complete guide to the PowerBuilder Foundation Classes.

From the Publisher
PowerBuilder Foundation Classes Programmer's Reference
If you'd like to master the ins and outs of PowerBuilder Foundation Classes, here's a book that covers all the objects and functions you might use with both PB5 and PB6. With each function, the author shares his extensive PB experience and gives special attention to those hard-to-understand objects and services that can enhance your expertise. Recognized PB authorities add a how-to dimension to this reference book by tackling head-on some of the more difficult aspects of Powerbuilder. You'll find that PFC Programmers Reference Manual is both a guide to the use of the entire scope of these libraries and a handy memory tool for finding exactly what you need at implementation time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent complimentary documentation, 13 April 1999
By A Customer
This book gives you what the PFC documentation does not. A detailed explanation of various internal workings that once followed, leads you to discover the things that make a library like the PFC work. Missing more overview and architectural discussion, but that is covered by the PFC Professional Reference. Together the 2 books provide what PFC developers need. A complete look at the PFC library.

A must-buy for serious PFC developers. Despite being an author of a competitive book, although I call it more complimentary than competitive, I would receommend this book to anyone.

Good job Rik.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good book but needs more examples., 27 Jul 1998
By A Customer
This is a good, general book on the PFC for developers not familiar with it. What would greatly benefit the reader would be a lot more real-world examples.

1.0 out of 5 stars Nothing new in this book., 24 Jul 1998
By A Customer
The book is a big dissapointment. It's a just a list of functions and a little description of them. Nothing you can't get from the help.

It's odd that reviews are either 1 star or 5 stars. Makes me think if the 5 star reviews are coming from the author's friends or himself. 5 star reviews are lengthy.. very suspecious.
