Learning Powerhouse 4GL

[Robert J.M. Edis]

G'day Sunny

My recommendation would be:

1.	Get copies of the Intro to PowerHouse documentation
2.	Study existing PowerHouse code - SupportLink is an excellent source
plus if your site is not new to PH there must be existing source to look at.
3.	Get a copy of the book "Unlocking PowerHouse", 1992,  by Ramon Alino
published by Software Visions,  (714)894-5843.  ISBN: 1-882498-12-7.
4.	Remember that a 4GL is NOT a 3GL.  I.e. don't immediately try to
write your code in a procedural method.  The power of a 4GL is the
non-procedural syntax.  Only use procedural programming as a last resort.
5.	Use this list; there are plenty of people subscribed to it who would
be most happy to guide you.

	Hello,
	    I am just beginning to learn Powerhouse programming.  I
	was wondering if anyone knew of any good educational
	web sites on the topic, or of any books that could be read
	on the subject?  Since it is a 4th generation language I am
	assuming I should also be looking for a book on general
	fourth generation programming.
