Class Summary: OO Language Concepts For Procedural 4GL Devel

Overview:  OOABL programming enables a developer to combine object and procedural programming styles in a manner that suits your needs and desires. No need to rewrite your application, just use as many or as few objects as is appropriate as you find the need for them.

This workshop will introduce you to the various 4GL object-oriented (aka "OO") language elements, what they do, and how they work. If you haven't "done OO" yet, this is your chance to get your feet wet. While no prior object 4GL experience is assumed or required, prior exposure to persistent and super procedures is helpful.
