The NCPBUG announced they've got over 25 PowerBuilder centric sessions and counting, including a session on the latest version of your favorite IDE, PowerBuilder 12.6!?

PowerBuilder product manager Sue Dunnell is no longer with SAP as of last week, as announced by Matt Balent, North Carolina PowerBuilder User Group president two days ago. Sue Dunnell was PowerBuilder's product manager ever since Sybase took over PB from its original creator PowerSoft. She has left to pursue other opportunities outside SAP.

Paul Horan adds that no decisions have yet been made on a permanent replacement. In the meantime, he and John Strano will be splitting many of her PB duties.

Paul Horan is a Senior Solution Advisor and Mobility Architect at SAP. He joined SAP as part of their acquisition of Sybase 10 years ago. In Sybase, he worked as a technical pre-sales architect supporting PowerBuilder, PowerDesigner, and SQL Anywhere. John Strano has over 10 years of experience in using PowerBuilder and he has written articles for multiple industry periodicals. He has been a Sybase Certified Instructor and has presented Sybase tools internationally since 1997.

Europe greeted four PowerBuilder conferences in early October with hundreds of attendees by bringing together PB developers from across Europe. The conferences in Milan, Paris, Berlin and Zurich were successful in providing developers with technical sessions and new third party tools! In addition to the latest information on Appeon multi-browser, Reporting Studio and Visual Expert, the attendees got a sneak peek of Visual Expert for PL/SQL and were able to benefit from the presentation of the renowned PB developer and presenter Bruce Armstrong that covered a number of PowerBuilder topics.
