1) Next SUG-TX Meeting - June 26,
2007
The Sybase Users' Group of Texas
will hold their next meeting on Tuesday, June 26, 2007. The presentation will be "What's New
with PowerDesigner 12.1" by SUG-TX President, Don Clayton.
PowerDesigner 12.1 has arrived and
brings many new and improved features. PowerDesigner supports over
fifty-six distinct database versions, six object-oriented programming languages;
web services design using XML and SOAP, four business process orchestration
languages, and a host of other nifty functions. PowerDesigner 12.1 now
functions as a plug-in for Visual Studio 2005, Eclipse, and PowerBuilder.
For object-oriented modeling, all UML 2.0 diagrams are now supported.
Version 12.1 also offers unequalled support for the new features of SQL Server
2005 and Oracle 10g. Don has been doing a series of syndicated web casts
discussing the features and benefits of PowerDesigner versus ERwin, Rational
Rose, and other modeling tools. Do these other tools offer the
functionality you need? Or is PowerDesigner's advanced modeling technology a
better answer? Come see how PowerDesigner, the industry's #1 modeling
tool* shortens application delivery times. Watch as he puts PowerDesigner
12.1 through its paces and more!
