Smart Client January 15th - John Strano Arguably, one of the biggest headaches for application development has historically been deployment. The initial and ongoing appeal of browser-based applications has been the automatic update of application interface and business logic for every single user. However, the ubiquity of the Web comes at a cost...the lack of functionality and richness in browser-based interfaces. This Webcast shows how PowerBuilder 11's .NET Smart Client deployment and publishing support gives the end-user the rich client interface they deserve, as well as the ubiquity of the Web to simplify the installation and update of PowerBuilder applications for 5 or 5000 users.
