Summary: Clear and Step-by-Step THIS.
Comment: This was the textbook chosen by my educational institute to introduce us to PowerBuilder and Object-Oriented Fundamentals. I'd have to say it fails on each of those counts. You're not introduced to PowerScript until nearly halfway through the book, the code is NOT laid out in a step-by-step fashion AT ALL after the first chapter or so (and even then), there are coding errors all over the place, and the finished product that you can download has all sorts of inconsistencies with what's in the book (it's as though they kept the application the same from PowerBuilder 5 and never bothered to check the new text against it or something).
I'm in the process right now of trying to reverse engineer the example from Que's website and compare my own to figure out what snippets the book has omitted that are preventing my application from functioning properly. Thank you, William Heys, for depriving me of some much-needed sleep. :P~

Summary: Good as a reference, Look elsewhere if you're a beginner
Comment: While the book is good for referencing topics when you already know PowerBuilder. You might find yourself lost if you're starting out and trying to follow the example from the book. There are points where the figures in the book don't match where you are at that point in the code. Not to mention the fact that the code that you can download is different then the code descibed in the book. Definetly not a book to learn PowerBuilder from.

Summary: Needs work.
Comment: There are numerous errors throughout which would turn many developers away from PB, especially beginners. I cannot recommend this book.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Just an awful book which makes the project very complicated
Comment: The book does not help beginners at all as it claims to. It assumes a prior knowledge of PB otherwise you get lost. The project which the book takes you through has parts missing when you compare it to the downloadable version. You go crazy trying to figure that out. There are other books out there which are much better. Do not waste your money on it esp beginners as this book will only make you hate PB.
