Summary: Good But....
Comment: This book explains the subject matter well to the beginners. However, I was very disappointed in the way examples are handled. Actual code examples are very sparse. Most of the time, the author gives few lines of code and explains what you should do next. Secondly, I found the accompanying CD of little use. To begin with, the Source code could not run on PB 5.0. It requires an earlier version. All in all the book gives a good introduction to the subject, but is not hands on.

Summary: Great Starter Book for Powerbuilder
Comment: Mr. Hatfield does a wonderful job of introducing the Powerbuilder environment to the novice programmer. Some experience with high level language is extremely helpful, but Hatfield writes the text well enough so that anyone can follow. He begins with a very simple example application to get u off and running, then goes into each component of Powerbuilder with a little more detail, even introducing some nice tips, and tricks like Powerbuilders Query Mode, etc. You will certainly not be an expert after the last chapter, but you'll have the big picture, and enjoy Powerbuilder.. Most likely the best starter book, i flipped through a few before purchasing it, this was a clear winner.
