Summary: Blah, blah, blah
Comment: Save your money. This book, and its companion, are both written in editorial style, each chapter by a (potentially) different author who each feel that they must fill in the space with more history than substance.

Summary: Amazing book/Handy reference
Comment: For newbiew like me, this is the bible for entering the n-tier world with EAServer. Gives me a very good comparison with other options too.After having bought this book for my work, I have found my colleagues who take this book for reference often appreciating it's contents, especially for the tips & tricks and well laid out examples.
I recommend all the PowerBuilder/Internet developers to invest in this book. Very affordable with good quality.

Summary: Rehash of old information
Comment: I have worked with PB since its inception about 12 years ago. During that time I have purchased everything written about it. This is the worst effort put into print. It is simply a rehash of articles on xml, soap, and internet theory. There is no relationship between PB 9 and this text other than the mention of it by the authors. Save yourself some money and wait or something that actually shows you how to develop internet and distributed applications -- this one does not!!!
