Care and Feeding of SmartObjects 2

Topics - Recommended Prerequistes - Samples

This course is targeted to people familiar with the Progress 4GL who are interested in learning about Progress SmartObjects and the AppBuilder. Students learn how to write event-driven applications within Progress’ Application Development Model Version 2 (ADM2). They learn how to separate business logic from user interface logic. This allows for user interface independence. The course also examines in detail the underlying language elements that make up SmartObjects. In addition, each student will receive a copy of the Roadmap to the SmartObjects by J.D. Johnson. This book will aid in learning how linking relates to messaging and how to customize Progress SmartObjects.
