pick any tool.
EAServer does give you the capability of "RUN ANYTHING ANYWHERE"

Subject: PFCSIG Abandoning Ship ???
Our department has approximately 20 programmers. Most of our projects are
for
our company (600 employees) and I'd say that about a third devleop with
PowerBuilder (including yours truly), a third with VB and a third with
Developer
. Our database for all our projects is Oracle. We're starting to think in
terms
of internet/intranet. We'd like to move over to using only one of the above
tools, and we've arranged a meeting next week to discuss it. The general
consensus is:
1. PowerBuilder is currently the most 'advanced' of the three.
2. The learning curve and development time is greater in PB than the others.
3. Developer is currently the 'weaker' of the three.
4. PB is a little behind in all that's involved with the Web
We're looking for a long-term strategy, and there's where VB (Microsoft) and
Developer (Oracle) have the big advantage over PB.
Any opinions - references to papers written on the subject -
facts/statistics -
etc. would be welcome.
I personally would love to stay with PB - I've been with it since v3.0 - but
there's a lot of pressure to dump PB and move over to PB
Thanks
