PowerBuilder 11.5 just came out and Sybase will share how the new features and capabilities will help accelerate your development, bring aesthetic enhancements to your PowerBuilder applications, and simplify .NET development at the PowerBuilder Advan

Why “Sprechen Sie Deutsch?” again? Because a majority of the folks in Switzerland speak German (though 3 other primary languages are spoken there as well). I’ll be joining John Strano and Steven Dunn of Sybase to do some speaking a

TechWave 2009 will be held at the Marriott Wardman Park in Washington, D.C., Aug. 16-20.Original Entry

In September I’m heading to Germany to present to the German PowerBuilder user group. I’m also working on arrangements to go back over to Europe in November for other locations as well, including (hopefully), England and Switzerland. If

Once again I thought this was one of the best TechWaves in years. Better than last years, which was good. Having my laptop crash on me when I’m scheduled to do four sessions wasn’t pleasant, and took the edge off of it for me. Otherwis

Only thought it was worth mentioning because of the weather. I’m driving back because I’m just going to LA. It takes a long to drive to Vegas from my house as it does to fly, and driving is (IMHO) more convenient. It’s 106 degrees

A repeat of my session from Wednesday on using .net assemblies from PowerBuilder. At this point, my laptop won’t boot at all without crashing, even in Safe Mode. I have to borrow Terry Voth’s computer and do my presentation based off th

Interesting. They got a fairly small room and filled it with round tables so that everybody could eat their box lunch. The result is that more people showed up than we had spaces for. There was a short presentation and then a raffle than included

I actually didn’t go, but I heard it was a blast.Original Entry

Changing it back to just before the special event seems to have worked. This was standing room only. There was the standard stuff about putting everything we mentioned into the enchancement system on the ISUG web site. The stuff that was raised du

This one on doing online code review. Seems to have been well received, even though I couldn’t do my live demo.Original Entry

OK, this year I thought it was better, but probably just because I got their earlier and end up at a table where I was actually interested in the topic. I sat in at the Visual Studio Shell table. I had meant to sit in on the .Net Interop table, but

Not quite a keynote. Instead, there was: Sybase Innovator Awards A panel of the Sybase engineering VPs A customer panel headed by a Forrester analyst A talk by a futuristOriginal Entry

And, just in case we didn’t get enough to eat, TeamSybase had their own private reception after the Sponsor Reception.Original Entry

After the education sessions ended, we all headed over to the Exhibit Hall for the Sponsor Reception. This is the first time the Exhibit Hall is open. There were a number of sealed off booths available with chairs and tables, apparently for people

At lunchtime met with Sue Dunnell, John Strano and others for an ISV luncheon.Original Entry

There were 5 (count them 5!) simultaneous plenary sessions this year. I went to the PowerBuilder one of course. There was some discussion and demonstration of features in PowerBuilder 11.5, the release date for which was just announced today. Ther

John Chen spoke first and gave some discussion of the overall position of Sybase. One item of particular interest (at least to me) is that TechWave is moving back to the east coast next year. Yeah! Raj Nathan spoke next and discussed the Sybase Un

This year the reception buffet featured food from “around the world”. Nothing that quite fit on my diet, but to each their own. No live entertainment this year, but pool tables and pinball games were made available. A good time was had

Pretty much same as prior years. The registration area is located to the left of the entrance to the exhibit hall and the email kiosk/wifi area/ask-the-expert section to the right of the entrance. Once again they give you a card when you register t

The PowerBuilder 11.0 launch party last year was pretty good. A lot better (IMHO) than the special event. Well, they’ve having a PowerBuilder 11.5 launch party this year, so mark your calendar. Wednesday, August 6th - 7:00 – 9:00 pm House of
