Summary: Excellant, well written
Review: Excellant guide to getting started with Jaguar. Written for those users who know PowerBuilder and need to move to Jaguar. No distributed PB knowledge is required - Barlotta explains everything you need to know in plain english.The time it will save you in figuring out what you are doing is well worth the cost of the book and more. The examples in the book are good and source is available on line. The only complaint I would have is the code on the web is not organized in the zip file as well as it could be, but the author mentioned he was going to work on that. A little searching will find the code you need. If you are thinking of doing distributed or web based applications using Jaguar, buy this book today.

Summary: Estupendo
Review: Good edition, great content. Some chapters are excellent. Barlotta has done a great work explaining techniques and concepts, not isolated, but well relationed. Now, expecting another one about Jaguar and Java.

Summary: An exceptionally well formatted publication.
Review: I've been developing applications for over ten years. This book stands out as one of the best I've ever owned. It's very honest about how familiar you'd better be with PowerBuilder if you expect to use this book. The author takes into consideration the probability that you're new to Jaguar and yet doesn't 'dumb down' his guidance. It takes you through an explanation of CORBA, distributed processing, and gets you using Jaguar immediately. Excellent coverage of the administration of and development using Jaguar. If you plan on using EAS to build distributed apps, I highly recommend you read this book.

Summary: EXCELLENT
Review: More and more people will now take the Jaguar Development with PowerBuilder 7 approach after going through the book. This was precisely needed for serious internet development using PowerBuilder. With this book I was able to develop Java components within no time! Powersoft/ Sybase should thank Michael Barlotta for presenting this book for experience as well new PowerBuilder developers building web applications. I could easily rate this my best PowerBuilder book in the last 6 years. Excellent book, at the right time.

Review: Right from page one this book gets you rolling. And if the book doesn't answer all of your questions Author Mike Barlotta wastes no time responding. Can't praise it enough. Can't wait for the advanced series.

Summary: Best Book on the Subject (but got sacked after I read it)
Review: The site was going to use PB7 and Jaguar - exciting! I ordered the book, read it, used the many fantastic code bits to get an n-tier PB7 app up and running. Fantastic book. 4 months later, the client decided to use Java, scrap PB development and sacked me without even a day's notice. Oh well. I still think Jaguar and the book and PB7 are tops! But the lesson learned is that Powerbuilder is on the way down and out!

Summary: Excellent book for PB developers moving ahead with EAServer
Review: This book can get you started just in the way you would like to. Mike understands what PB developers need to get started with Web development and Jaguar. Although EAS versions have changed, but the basic concepts suc as "stateless/stateful, instance pooling, transaction support, connection, etc" remain the same. This book is not for Java with EAServer - this is PowerBuilder with EAServer - as the name suggests.
