#Techwave 2010 - Day 2: How I Migrated to PB 12.NET (Customer presentation)

A customer demo. A government agency tried to replace an old PowerBuilder app with Java. 160 developers worked on the project and spent billions(?) on it, and failed. One of the original developers of the PowerBuilder app was called back in and modernized the app with PowerBuilder.Net in a short time. Used devcomponents 3rd party wpf control to modernize the app (docking panes, ribbon control).

Nice entry! Powerbuilder still rocks!

Yep, still does! This was probably the best received presentation I've seen so far. Ran over time, and there were plenty of people who still had questions afterwards.
