Sybase compares in two different documents three major development
tools: PowerBuilder, .Net and Java.
You can find in these, their history and theirs advantages.
These two White Papers’ topics are:
The first one:
COMPARING SYBASE® POWERBUILDER® AND MICROSOFT® .NET
An Evaluation Guide for PowerBuilder Developers
- Overview of .Net
- Evaluation for PowerBuilder shops looking at .Net
- Peaceful coexistence (PowerBuilder and .Net)
The second one:
SYBASE POWERBUILDER® VERSUS JAVA™
- The Java explosion
- Java complexity
- PowerBuilder today
Moreover, the first one explains how important and difficult it
is to chose the right technology direction for an IT-service within
a company:
"As a result, managers are often caught
between top-down and bottom-up pressures in choosing new technology
directions."
"Many managers will ask: is it better, does it make economic
sense within the context of the organizational needs, and what
are the long-term repercussions of embracing the new technology?".

The second White Paper is more focus on the launch of Java in the
late 1990’s and on the current situation of Java :
“this White Paper addresses the issues
faced by development organizations considering either a transition
from PowerBuilder to Java for their legacy code, or deciding between
PowerBuilder and Java for new development. It examines the original
promise of Java and where it has been successfully applied; and
also examines considerations that need to be kept in mind when
making a decision between Java and PowerBuilder”. . .
