Notes

• Part II of the Fast Track Series allows you to learn how to use PowerBuilder to build and deploy fully functional applications using the more advanced features of PowerBuilder. The course will be taught on PowerBuilder 11.5. However, most of the features you will learn will be available to you in earlier releases of PowerBuilder (for instance, PowerBuilder 9, 10 and 11). Considering this, regardless of the release you are working on, you will be able to continue to improve your skills by learning PowerBuilder development best practices for advanced client/server application development.
• This intensive hands-on, instructor-led training program gives yoou opportunity to be in a class with certified instructors as well as other near-expert level PowerBuilder client/server developers like yourself whose goal is to learn PowerBuilder's more advanced and powerful features.
