This book is intended as an introductory but comprehensive guide to using PowerBuilder 6.0. It aims to serve two roles: (1) provide full instruction on using PowerBuilder 6.0, including its features and tools, and (2) help the reader understand underlying GUI application concepts — not just the tool’s UI, but the logic of building client/server GUI systems.

The text is structured in a tutorial style, walking the reader through creating applications using PowerBuilder’s painters, data windows, scripting (PowerScript), and libraries. It emphasizes building practical, working client/server applications rather than only referencing features. Examples and exercises are organized so that the beginner can follow along and build real systems. For programmers transitioning into PowerBuilder or developing business applications, this edition provides foundational skills.
