It was designed to
exploit PowerBuilder 6/7 visual and non-visual capabilities and components
so there is no need to maintain backward compatibility with older versions
of PowerBuilder.
It does not restrict
developers to a certain development scheme, but rather provides many
suggestions and services to assist in the development process. New services
can be added without the need to modify existing ones.
Its application and
datawindow services are complete with GUI windows that are ready to use and
deploy.
It was designed and
developed by a staff of Certified PowerBuilder Professional Developers
It is shipped with a
complete Time & Billing System to give developers a comprehensive
overview of services and objects in a ready to use application.
It comes with a free
Suite of Library Utilities that can help developers look at their objects
outside the PowerBuilder development environment and includes functionality
such as the object reporter and stores procedure syntax builder.
It eases development
startup with window and object templates
It is shipped with a
free Database SQL Performance monitor that traces PowerBuilder database SQL
statements and shows query plans and I/O statistics. This information can
help a developer fully optimize client/server applications.
It supports business
object components and adheres to PFC standards and terminology.
Unlike other class
libraries, PowerPFC is a class library and a framework. Its services
can be integrated with other PFC-based frameworks while providing template
windows, objects, menus and standard techniques.
