Sybase is currently in the middle of the most aggressive marketing program that I've seen for PowerBuilder in recent history. If you've been following my blog, you'll know that Sybase recently ran a four-page ad in Visual Studio magazine promoting the release of PowerBuilder 12. They've also been conducting a worldwide series of "Developer Days" promoting PowerBuilder 12 and a number of other Sybase products. One of the things they show during that road show is a rather tentative "road map" of which features are planned for future versions of PowerBuilder.

If you've been following the product direction for PowerBuilder for the last few releases, and particularly with respect to the upcoming PowerBuilder 12, you know that PowerBuilder is evolving into a .NET development tool. As PowerBuilder developers, you'll also know that the key strengths of the product are its productivity through Rapid Application Development (RAD), support for object-oriented programming (OOP), and simplified data access and update through the DataWindow.

PowerBuilder 12 has been released, and if you've been paying attention, you know that it now comes in two flavors! There's PB12 Classic for traditional Win32, WinForm, WebForm, .NET Assembly, and J2E component targets, and PB12 .NET for WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) and WCF (Windows Communication Foundation) proxy targets.

This reference application highlights PowerBuilder 12.0's abilities as both a development environment and a runtime platform for rich and thin clients. The PowerBuilder clients are delivered in four versions; Classic Win32, .NET Win Form, .NET Web Form and .NET WPF WCF. These client applications illustrate how you can leverage PowerBuilder's enterprise .NET APIs, DataWindow Technology, and the PowerScript coding language in a developer-friendly and productive IDE to rapidly build Microsoft-compatible client applications.
