Summary: Excellent book for PB developers moving ahead with EAServer
Comment: This book can get you started just in the way you would like to. Mike understands what PB developers need to get started with Web development and Jaguar. Although EAS versions have changed, but the basic concepts suc as "stateless/stateful, instance pooling, transaction support, connection, etc" remain the same. This book is not for Java with EAServer - this is PowerBuilder with EAServer - as the name suggests.

Summary: A tonic for internet developers using Powerbuilder...
Comment: More and more people will now take the Jaguar Development with PowerBuilder 7 approach after going through the book. This was precisely needed for serious internet development using PowerBuilder. With this book I was able to develop Java components within no time!

Powersoft/ Sybase should thank Michael Barlotta for presenting this book for experience as well new PowerBuilder developers building web applications. I could easily rate this my best PowerBuilder book in the last 6 years.

Excellent book, at the right time.

Rating: 3
Summary: Good - but outdated...
Comment: This book was written for PowerBuilder 7 (now 7.03) and Jaguar CTS 3.0 (now Sybase Enterprise Application Server 3.6.1.08). While PowerBuilder hasn't changed much EAS most *certainly* has. When Jaguar 3.0 came out there was no database persistence standard for the Java platform, EJB was barely a spec (v 0.4), and a lot of things that we take very much for granted in the J2EE Specification simply didn't exist. Also, Jaguar 3.0 was a much 'clunkier' system to administer than that newer 3.6.1 release that Sybase has done. While many of the concepts discussed in this book from the PowerBuilder side are still applicable, some of the screen shots and processes are dated on the Jaguar side. Still, the book represents a good history lesson if nothing else. Being that this is the *only* book on the subject of using PowerBuilder as a front end to your Jaguar/EAS server-side code I'd say get it. But it's quickly become in *dire* need of a revamp. Are you listening, Mr. Barlotta??
