Wednesday ISUG Cocktail Party at #PBTechWave
embarcadero sponsored the ISUG VIP cocktail event at the Postrio Restaurant from 6 to 8 PM. A pass was required, but ISUG officials were busy passing those out just before the event to just about anybody they recognized.
Wednesday Afternoon Sessions at #PBTechWave
Started with Jeff Gibson's session on enhancements in PowerBuilder Classic in 12.5. A packed house. Also he covered new features planned for PB 15
Wednesday Lunch at #PBTechWave
Rather than the regular TechWave lunch (which for the rest of the week is being held seperate from the TechEd lunch), the PowerBuilder MVPs (including myself) met at Postrio Bar and Grill with some Sybase folks.
Wednesday Morning Sessions at #PBTechWave
Started with Jim O'Neil's session on PowerBuilder in the Cloud. He started out with an explanation of what the cloud is and why you would want to use it. Demonstrated creating a database in the cloud and then moving data into it. Then he did a real simple demo of pulling data from the database using an HTTP call and then doing an importstring of the resulting XML data. He then demoed creating a .net web service in PowerBuilder and then deploying that to the cloud and calling it from PowerBuilder. One difficulty was getting the assembly to the cloud because PowerBuilder doesn't have the tooling to do it automatically. You have to create MSI files, upload them to the cloud, and then run them manually (not in silent mode).
