July 2002: New Product Reviews on Visual Expert
Comprehensive Application Documentation and Impact Analysis.
Bill GREEN - TeamSybase:
"The tool should be a must-have on any software consultant’s list,
and can provide a significant benefit to any user of the product regardless
of the developers experience level with PowerBuilder."
(Read
the complete product review...)
A powerful tool to become familiar with a new application!
George MIKHAILOVSKY: "More you work with
the Visual Expert - more you understand how convenient it is. I cannot
remember so powerful tool that allows a user to become familiar with
a new application in literally in a few hours."
(Read
the complete product review...)
A few minutes to constructively review the application architecture, regardless
its size
Katerina GIANNAKELI:
"It takes only a few minutes to familiarize yourself with the Visual
Expert interface and even less to constructively review the application
architecture, regardless its size. I would strongly recommend you try
Visual Expert out. I am positive that you will find out that this tool
is missing from your software library!"

Using the PB 8 Web DataWindow in ASP (new technical article)
Are you tired of data listed in tables on your website?
"Do you want to put those DataWindows you have spent so much time
developing for your client-server application onto your website ? If you
have a Microsoft Server with IIS 5.0 running, it really is a simple project."
Bill Green - Team Sybase:
Given our propensity as developers to avoid any task that takes too much
time to perform, avoid documentation at almost any cost, and make changes
to applications relying on our testing practices to determine the impact,
it's my opinion that this tool would go a long way to making many of our
lives easier, and our jobs less risky.
It will help to reduce the risk of change to any application, and provides
a mechanism to provide accurate and up-to-date documentation of our applications.
The tool should be a must-have on any software consultant's list, and
can provide a significant benefit to any user of the product regardless
of the developers experience level with PowerBuilder."
