Sybase Announces Availability of Sybase PowerBuilder 11 for .NET in India

New Version Enables Fast and Easy Deployment of Data-Driven Applications
Sybase Software (India) Pvt Ltd. ("Sybase India"), one of the leading providers of enterprise infrastructure and mobile software, today announced the availability of Sybase® PowerBuilder® 11, the premier 4GL rapid application development (RAD) tool in India. Building on its strength in quickly developing data-driven applications necessary to critical business functions, PowerBuilder 11 provides PowerBuilder developers with the simplest, easiest and most cost-effective way to deploy applications on the .NET platform.
PowerBuilder 11 dramatically simplifies .NET development and is part of Sybase's plan to deliver robust support for the .NET framework. With this release, PowerBuilder 11 provides developers the flexibility to deploy applications as .NET Windows® Forms, Web Forms, and .NET Smart Clients, as well as develop traditional client server business applications and Web Services.
PowerBuilder 11 continues to support integration with J2EE™ environments and Win32® applications. Integration with the leading development platforms provides a more open, flexible environment for developers with heterogeneous platform requirements. PowerBuilder also offers increased productivity as it enables less complex coding and shorter development cycles than applications built with 3GL level tools.
"PowerBuilder's speed and flexibility means customers can develop business critical applications for use anytime, anywhere," says Dave Fish Technical evangelist at Sybase, Inc.
Based on technology so powerful it holds several patents, DataWindow .NETTM helps you rapidly build and deploy data driven applications, easily incorporate your complex business rules and deliver sophisticated data presentation. Sybase's DataWindow .NET includes a highly productive 4GL development environment that is used in tandem with Visual Studio .NET or any .NET development environment to build robust presentation layers for data-driven applications. DataWindow .NET is designed to simplify and accelerate the creation of enterprise class, data-driven applications, whether they are rich client, smart client, mobile or wireless applications. DataWindow .NET is designed to help with the standard data access components in a .NET framework and development environments that require tedious, time consuming coding.
DataWindow .NET provides a set of plug-ins that enable developers to create their DataWindows inside of Visual Studio .NET without ever having to leave the IDE. And, with a new Web services DataWindow, you can easily access, manipulate and display data from Web services.
PowerBuilder 11 incorporates new and emerging technologies that enable you to build traditional two-tier applications, distributed applications, Web applications and Smart Clients with speed and ease.
New features in PowerBuilder 11 include the following capabilities:
• Deploy PowerBuilder non-visual objects (NVOs) as .NET assemblies and .NET Smart Client applications
• Deploy PowerBuilder NVOs as Web Services and PowerBuilder applications to the Web quickly using ASP.NET
• Support for Microsoft® SQL Server™ SNC and Oracle® 10g RAC
• Ability to use Web Services as a data source for DataWindow®
Marking the India launch of PowerBuilder 11.0 is a road show across 5 cities in India, namely, Delhi, Ahmedabad, Mumbai, Bengaluru and Chennai. Presenting at these interactions will be Dave Fish & John Strano, our two very experienced Technical evangelist at Sybase, Inc. who have been working on PowerBuilder for the last 14 and 16 years respectively.
