Also, Kevin will demonstrate using new PowerBuilder features OAuthClient, JSONGenerator, JSONParser, DW.ImportJSON to integrate with Dropbox using the REST standard.

Summary

This was the second time that Appeon had hosted a PowerBuilder user conference on their own, and once again I thought it went extremely well, even better than the prior year.  As with the prior year, attendance was good and quite diverse.
