Tuesday, November 27, 2012 at 9:00 AM PST (Los Angeles) - 18h00 CET (Paris) Gantt Chart Planner — Consuming .NET Assemblies in PowerBuilder .NET Construction companies need an overview of their planning and work in progress. HBBSoft, a PowerBuilder .NET application, aims to achieve this purpose using Gantt and scheduling. The application is able to communicate with the Microsoft Exchange Calendar using Microsoft Exchange Web Services (EWS) to plan employees’ tasks immediately into the Outlook calendar. This presentation covers several techniques used in the HBBSoft application: • .NET user authentication. • Consuming Exchange Web Services to sync with Exchange Calendar. • Custom Expression Blend toolbar. • Integration of third-party Gantt and schedule controls. Presenter: Dimitri Joosten

Thursday, November 29, 2012 at 9:00 AM PST (Los Angeles) - 18h00 CET (Paris) Building Customizable Applications using CRAFT Create a business application in just a few days or change the business logic immediately after a customer request. This session presents CRAFT, a software platform for building customizable and complex business applications. CRAFT does not require expert programming skills — knowledge of SQL is sufficient — and its visual tools allow developers to build applications rapidly, even without a single line of code. Applications can be customized easily during implementation at a customer site. The CRAFT software platform: • Leverages the full power of DataWindow technology for creating user interfaces and reports. • Enables software developers to create and manage application business objects definition, their representation (using DataWindow forms visual designer), and their business logic (if needed) using embedded high-level object-oriented language. • Program language syntax is very similar to PowerScript® language (with some extensions) —  PowerBuilder developers will have minimal learning time. • Supports the most well-known SQL databases (Oracle, Microsoft SQL, MySQL, InterBase, Firebird, PostgreSQL), and can be used as a prototyping tool, as a report generator, and as a tool for business analysis. Presenter: Dmitry Golubev

Tuesday, Decembre 4, 2012 at 9:00 AM PST (Los Angeles) - 18h00 CET (Paris) Implementing Datawindow Usability Improvements with Minimal Disruption This presentation covers techniques to create and implement a 'datawindow enhancement service' within an existing PowerBuilder application with the goal of providing improved functionality while keeping disruption to application users to a minimum. It is similar to the session presented at the 2012 PowerBuilder Developers Conference held in October in conjunction with SAP TechEd. Focus for this session will be on the creation of the service object, implementing example functionality enhancements with existing datawindows, and ideas for further expansion of the service. Presenter: Matt Balent
