    • What if the combustion engine had never been invented and we were still travelling by horse and buggy. Your daily commute would take you all day. That quick trip out of town,
    • try weeks at a time and a plenty of saddle sores. In the 1990s PowerBuilder did with programming what the automobile did for getting from point A to point B,
    • we changed a paradigm with speed simplicity and power. Hi, I am Sue Dunnell PowerBuilder product manager and I am excited to share with you, the revolutionary new features in PowerBuilder 12.
    • We have taken everything that you love about PowerBuilder and brought it all to the world of .NET. If our first release of PowerBuilder was a race car,
    • PowerBuilder 12 is more like your own private Jet. It's never been faster or easier to get where you were going, ahead of your competition, in a true rock star style.
    • Best of all, while you will be living like a rock star, getting your apps to WPF in no time at all you won't be spending like one.
    • Your development cost will remain in line with the horse and buggy owner's budget. So, how does PowerBuilder 12 help you rock your development? It easy, open,
    • powerful and flexible with a completely rewritten data window that natively supports Microsoft's WPF technology,
    • plus a new integrated development environment built right on top of the Visual Studio shell.
    • You get the power and productivity you expect from PowerBuilder along with all the .NET capabilities you need today and well into the future.
    • Most important, PowerBuilder provides an incredibly fast and cost-effective migration path to bring your Win32 applications to .NET,
    • that's right, you don't need to toss you're your current applications and rewrite for .NET.
    • PowerBuilder 12 not gets you there; we also protect your investment. So let's take a closer look at how PowerBuilder 12 is changing the application development paradigm, once again.
    • PowerBuilder 1.0 transformed programming by empowering developers to create a window in only 3 minutes. Instead of 3 months.
    • In PowerBuilder 12 it still takes only about five lines of code instead of hundreds in another language to access powerful business logic using the patented data window that you know and love and
    • we have rewritten the data window in C# so now it produces managed code and natively supports WPF giving you even more productivity and flexibility.
    • For you and your development team, PowerBuilder's new functionality and features give you the freedom to be the programs you have always know you could be.
    • Writing exactly the application you want and doing it faster and easier than your .NET peers.
    • Instead of spending time learning new programming languages you can use skills you already have to leverage .NET inside of PowerBuilder.
    • So you can deploy a wide range of applications and satisfy your customers' demands.
    • Because we have built Visual Studio right into PowerBuilder 12, you get to take advantage of the vast selection of utilities, products,
    • components and plug-ins specifically designed for Visual Studio developers.
    • You can also easily build your own plug-in, web services and .NET assemblies to share with others in your department, your customers and partners.
    • And we have given you the flexibility to create desktop web or rich-internet applications. Do you want to be a .NET developer,
    • a WebForm developer, a WPF developer? Good! W PowerBuilder 12 you can be any type of developer .
    • you want to be is in the sills you already have. PowerBuilder 12'sproductivity enhancements translate to the easiest, most cost effective Win32 to.NET migration path available.
    • That means you can modernize existing PowerBuilder programs or write new .NET code with ease
    • significantly lower development costs and speed your time-to-market and deliver applications a secure, managed.
    • Now let's take a look at PowerBuilder's robust new WPF capabilities.
    • PowerBuilder 12 makes it easy to create the robust WPF user experiences that today's customers demand without slowing down the development process.
    • With PowerBuilder 12 you can easily enhance your application's front end with the richness of WPFs vector-based graphics engine.
    • That means building applications with a stunning and rich user experience all without rewriting business logic.
    • When you improve your application user experience you are making much more than a good-looking frontend,
    • you are also making your programs more intuitive, more approachable and this translates to increased productivity for your end users.
    • Remember that Jet we talked about earlier? Incredibly easy WPF programming is just another way PowerBuilder 12 gets you to your end goal faster than you imagine possible.
    • Like the rock star programmer you've always known you could be.
    • PowerBuilder 12 is at its best when it comes to evolution. For the first time ever you can migrate Win32 PowerBuilder programs to .NET easily and cost effectively.
    • You get to keep the coding you have already invested in. and bring it up to speed to match current customer expectations.
    • Our migration utility reduces migration time by identifying unsupported code, need help with re factoring? We offer supporting materials to assist your efforts and ensure success.
    • What does it really in person hours and real-world budgets to evolve your applications instead of reinventing them?
    • If you are like most companies, when you're ready to migrate from Win32 to.NET, you think you have only one option.
    • Toss out all the code you've invested in and start from scratch.
    • That's like taking the horse and buggy route for the cost of buying your own jet and you still don't know if you'll even make it to your destination.
    • PowerBuilder 12 changes all that. Now you can use PowerBuilder 12's built-in migration tool to quickly evolve your Win32 programs to.NET.
    • There is no need to dump your old code or waste your previous investments.
    • PowerBuilder 12 gives you the capacity to evolve existing code to.NET with ease. So you can migrate in weeks instead of months or even years
    • saving person hours and dollars all the way. Now that's like getting to fly the jet yourself and getting there on a budget that even a horse and buggy owner would appreciate.
    • So what kind of programmer do you want to be? The one who spent the jet budget to travel at a horse's pace or the one who flew in style and saved millions along the way.
    • Only PowerBuilder 12 offers powerful productivity, the ability to deliver rich user experiences and unparalleled ease of migration so you can evolve your applications,
    • focus on core functionality and be the programmer you have always wanted to be..
