Object-Oriented Rexx Programming

On the disk, you'll find a variety of resources, including sample programs and data such as "Hello World," a calendaring/scheduling package, and utilities to help users rebuild desktop objects, show files with archive bits, and demonstrate the usage of special variables. Additionally, there are examples showcasing O-REXX with OpenDoc and WorkPlace Shell classes.

Drawing from over 20 years of programming experience, leading OS/2 and LAN specialist Tom Ender covers O-REXX from the ground up. He begins with an overview and tutorial of traditional REXX and the GUI builders that facilitate REXX on OS/2, then clearly presents the object-oriented concepts of O-REXX and the built-in classes that support implementation. Ender also discusses the future of O-REXX, particularly its potential on the Internet.

Readers will find valuable information on programming, debugging, and WorkPlace Shell, as well as an extensive overview of O-REXX variable types and objects. The book also includes an actual calendaring and program scheduling application developed in O-REXX, a comprehensive description of native debugging tools, and coverage of the OS/2 RexxUtil package as an example of a REXX utility.

Whether you're an OS/2 developer and programmer, a systems or LAN administrator, a software developer, a systems programmer, or anyone looking to develop a working ability with O-REXX, "Object-Oriented Programming with REXX" is the right place to start. The book provides a solid foundation in the language and its applications, equipping readers with the knowledge and skills needed to effectively utilize O-REXX in their respective fields.
