I'm new to PowerBuilder Classic 12, and I'm having a hard time finding any good guide/tutorial that can help me get started.

Now I have already read the following tutorials http://infocenter.sybase.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.sybase.infocenter.dc37772.1250/html/pbgs/CHDFGFBFA.htm

But it did not explain how to build a application from scratch. It had a wizard that auto-creates windows, sheets, menu and etc for you.

Any help/guide/tutorials are appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

edit: Forgot to mention that I find a lot of PB.NET stuff, which is not what I am looking for. I'm looking for PB Classic learning stuff.

  • For Jedi Masters: Mastering PowerBuilder 7
