This course introduces students to the Powerbuilder 11 development environment. Each component of the PowerBuilder 11 IDE is covered in the context of using Powerbuilder to develop GUI-based client/server business applications. Upon successful completion of this course, the student should be able to:

  • Use the System Tree to create workspaces and targets.
  • Use the Application Painter to create application objects.
  • Use the Window Painter to create windows.
  • Use the PowerScript language to write scripts to perform required processing.
  • Create user functions and user events.
  • Use the DataWindow Painter to create Data Windows and select appropriate presentation styles and data sources.
  • Use the Query Painter to interactively construct and edit SQL statements.
  • Use the Database Painter to define extended attributes and manage database tables.
  • Use the Menu Painter to create traditional and contemporary menus.
  • Debug PowerBuilder applications.
  • Package a PowerBuilder application for distribution.
