POWERBUILDER 9.0 and Beyond!

Sybase PowerBuilder 8.0 made Web, Client-Server, and Distributed application development much easier and faster, enabling PowerBuilder developers to continue creating new and enhancing existing programs.

Bigger and better things are in store for PowerBuilder in the next release and for future releases. With even more open, more productive, and more extensible features, future PowerBuilder capabilities will meet many of your existing and new application development requirements.

In addition to supporting traditional client-server development, Sybase PowerBuilder's strategy going forward will include significant support for both the .Net and J2EE environments. The first phase will be XML, Web Services, and 3rd party application server support, all available in PowerBuilder 9.0. More exciting capabilities will be in future product releases that will provide tighter integration into both J2EE and .Net. Stay tuned for more information about the major initiatives Sybase PowerBuilder will be making in these areas.
