very good book

Derek Ball brings PB to developers in a comprehensive, straight-forward manner. The well-done organization, format, and figures make this guide worth reading from beginning to end. The Developer's Tips and appendices are truly useful tools and compliment the main text. Also, this guide's thorough index makes it an excellent reference. The only reason I didn't give it a ten is that it's weak on external DLL information, but then so is every other PB book I've found. Of the current PB books available this is, by far, the one I use most.

A great resource book!

I found this to be an excellent book covering many intermediate and advanced topics. This book is definitely not for beginners unless you already have programming experience using Visual Basic, etc. The coverage of changes in PowerBuilder 6.0 with it's migration issue warnings is very helpful. I'm looking forward to using items mentioned in our applications. This will definitely be one of my well used books.

An excellent development and reference guide!
