Ok, I am an absolute beginner in powerbuilder. Currently I am working in a company where powerbuilder is being used to develop an application. This application heavily uses PFC.

Now I had no prior powerbuilder training when I joined this company, but I learned a few things while working in this application, e.g., datawindow, powerscript etc. But I still can't get my head around all the PFC things that are being used.

So where can I get a quick start tutorial on PFC? How should I proceed with this?

All types of suggestions are welcome.

You can have a look at my article. The point is to learn the basics, and don't sweat about learning "all the things" up front. Learn the basics (so you don't screw up things you'll regret later :-) ) and learn the rest as you go along, picking off pieces that interest you.

Good luck,

Terry.
