Course Description:

'' Part I of the Fast Track to PowerBuilder Series will get you started with PowerBuilder development by building and deploying a fully-functional application using the business requirements of an actual business use case. Learn the core features of the Integrated Development Environment (IDE), after which you will begin to create PowerBuilder Workspaces, Application Targets, work with Application Objects and manipulate PowerBuilder libraries.
After creating the shell of an application, you will gain familiarity with coding basics, where you will learn PowerScript syntax, variable types, scope and basic PowerScript functions. Gain exposure to the different types of methods you may build into classes (functions vs. events) and how to debug a PowerBuilder application.

Once you have a good understanding of the basics, you will learn the GUI aspects of PowerBuilder application development by creating Windows, Menus and MDI-type applications and using Inheritance. You will learn about how User Objects (Standard Visual and Custom Visual) are used in lieu of "native" controls. Since the DataWindow functionality is a key feature of PowerBuilder, the course gives a lot of focus on the creation of DataWindow Objects and covers the basics of DataWindow controls, where you will learn how to retrieve, insert, delete and update data.

Intermediate coding techniques are also covered, demonstrating how to write re-usable connection logic, partition applications (providing re-usable code) by using PowerBuilder NVOs, and send messages between objects using Standard Class User Objects (Message). Once you gain a good understanding of intermediate level coding, we return to intermediate DataWindow topics such as how to access data, work with the important DataWindow control events, buffers, status flags, handling concurrency and transaction management.

The class ends with a discussion on deployment to the end-user of the finished application. By the end of the course, you will be ready for Fast Track to PowerBuilder II to greatly improve your PowerBuilder development skills, as well as begin to deliver a completed application to users. Without Part II, you’re only half way to gaining the required knowledge you need to build and then support PowerBuilder applications - Part II is essential for you to round out your training. Sybase Education strongly recommends that you take advantage of the Fast Track to PowerBuilder package and attend Fast Track to PowerBuilder Part II 2-6 months upon completion of Part I.

Hands-on lab exercises are performed throughout the course to reinforce all the learning objectives.
