Summary: Must have for beginners
Comment: Of all the books for PowerBuilder I have used this is the greatest! I learned PowerBuilder in depth in less than a week with this book. While I have an extensive programming background, it would not be necessary to make use of this book. Well written and documented. If you are using PB 6.5 there are some minor differences between what is in the book and how your PB will work. The book was written with a prerelease version of PB 6. Hats off to the authors, this is one of the best books I have bought in a long time!

Summary: I thgought it was great !!!
Comment: I'm a VB, ASP and Coldfusion programmer. I've read the "Using Powerbuilder 6" and the "Powerbuilder Unleashed" series. The "Powerbuilder Unleashed" is a good reference for the intermediate and the "Using Powerbuilder 6" is worthless!! After purchasing this book I was up and coding, creating a multi-form application in a week. If you're a beginner and want a solid foundation this is the book.

Summary: This book was a waste of money.
Comment: This book was full of gaps in the tutorials. I would be on a complete roll and then be stuck with the worthless index. This book is only good if you have someonewho knows PowerBuilder near buy.

Summary: Beginners...Start Here!!!
Comment: I had no PowerBuilder experience whatsoever, but after going through this book I have developed several applications. The book is written in a very basic and step-by-step manner. This is the best PowerBuilder book I have come across for beginners ever!

Summary: One of the worst issues on PowerBuilder available
Comment: This book tends to be a comprehensive guide and the name even chosen as "Official PowerBuilder". What you are going to find inside some very brief description of the most difficult subjects and a very solid guide on how and where to click without even minimum description needed. Authors of the book first showing you some meaningless examples. First, the introduction of DataWindow (one of the most complicated classes available in PB) happens to be even before discussing a PowerScript language used throughout the "tutorial". The "tutorial" in it's turn is just nothing else, but a set of instructions that doesn't mean anything to you (unless you are a PowerBuilder programmer). Only after you went through a half of the book, the authors very briefly covering the most important bases of the language and the development environment. As the conclusion, this is one of the books you might find useful to read if you are a working programmer and want to refresh your memories. This is not the choice to start or to improve your PowerBuilder studies.
