As every year, Novalys is carrying out a worldwide survey on the use of
PowerBuilder.
The thousands of responses received each year allow us to follow the
evolution of PowerBuilder projects since 2001.
Now help us to monitor the new trends in the PowerBuilder community by
completing the 2009 edition of the survey below.
Afterwards, you’ll be able to see the 2008 results and discover, in
particular:
- How large PowerBuilder projects differ from small ones in terms of
architecture
- How the test of strength is going between Java and DotNET
- How many PB projects used .NET in 2008
Participate here.

need.
The sample application that comes with the controls try's to do some of this.
It lets... (more)
To date, there has been no license agreement for the PBGUIControls found at
www.PowerToTheBuilder.com. My way of thinking was that this was a good thing
for you, the developer. Essentially, I wanted to provide the PowerBuilder
Community with a set of tools that they could use without having to worry
about copyright or licensing issues. There would be no questions about IP,
costs or anyth... (more)
One of the biggest complaints I hear about PowerBuilder is how the
applications developed with it end up looking old and outdated. PowerBuilder
allows developers to create complicated, robust, and efficient business
applications. What it doesn't do is offer an effective presentation.
Sometimes lackluster presentation can hurt an application's marketability.
Unfortunate as it is, the look... (more)
