Features: After reading this book, you will:
Master the application of software engineering principles in PowerBuilder 9.0;
Understand new technologies and development techniques in PowerBuilder 9.0;
Acquire methods and skills for data modeling using PowerBuilder 9.0;
Learn how to create installation programs using InstallShield;
Gain insights into the thought processes and methodologies for developing large-scale applications through case studies;
This book is part of the "PowerBuilder 9.0 Application Development Series" and is titled "PowerBuilder 9.0 Case Development."
The entire book focuses on the development of large and medium-sized application cases. It systematically analyzes and explains the entire process—from requirements analysis and modeling to system design, coding and testing, and application deployment—using software engineering development methods. Three practical application systems ("Library Management System," "Household Financial Management System," and "Advanced Human Resource Management System") are used as case studies. Additionally, the book provides detailed explanations of the database modeling tool PowerDesigner and the installation program creation tool InstallShield through practical examples.
This book not only covers the coding process but also emphasizes the entire development process, enabling readers to understand the design and development philosophy of database application systems. At the same time, it helps them master the entire development process of large-scale database application systems and grasp the key and challenging aspects of development.
The book comes with a companion CD-ROM containing the source code and usage instructions for the application systems discussed in the book.
This book is a must-read for those learning about the development process and philosophy of large and medium-sized database application systems. It is targeted at intermediate to advanced readers who have some foundation in PowerBuilder but are confused about developing actual database application systems and are unfamiliar with the practical project development process.
