So now I can add Doug Porter published author to my list of accomplishments. It is really exciting to see my name in the actual print version. Well worth the time involved in writing the article. I’m currently working on a followup article on XML parsing that will hopefully appear in a future issue.

The publisher of PBDJ is Sys-Con Media which also publishes pretty much any other magazine that ends in “Developer’s Journal”, so I’m hoping to also contribute some article ideas to Java Developer’s Journal and see what happens (maybe related to some stuff I’m doing at work with BIRT and XML).

I have to thank the Editor-In-Chief of PBDJ, Bruce Armstrong, for helping me with some of the finer points of the article. Bruce is a very actice member of Team Sybase and does a great job giving back to the Sybase user community. You can usually find him (along with myself) hanging around the Sybase newsgroups.

Update: The article has now been posted to the PBDJ website here – Working with SOA & Web Services in PowerBuilder

Also here is my author page at the sys-con site and an rss feed for tracking any future articles.
