The Virtual Bookcase Reviews of 'Professional Powerbuilder Programming':

Reviewer Rob Slade wrote:
This book is based on PowerBuilder 5.0 for Windows 95. The intended audience is stated to be experienced database programmers. In that case, some of the sections are simplistic to the point of being insulting, such as that covering the topic of client/server. On the other hand, a supposedly important distinctive of PowerBuilder is object-orientation. There are multiple chapters on object-oriented programming concepts, but the fundamentals are very poorly explained. As far as the general contents go, standard use of tools and scripting is presented clearly enough, but any advanced operations quickly become lost and confused. If the chapter end questions, mostly multiple choice definitions and fill-in-the-blank quotes, truly are modelled on the Certified PowerBuilder Developer exam, then the CPD would seem to be a rather trivial and useless designation. (The CPD may be innocent of the charge: the sample fundamentals test given at the end of the book is better than the chapter end questions, although still nothing to boast of passing.) copyright Robert M. Slade, 1996
