Preface

This book describes the Open Object Rexx, or ooRexx programming language. In the following, it is called Rexx unless compared to its traditional predecessor.

This book is aimed at developers who want to use Rexx for object-oriented programming, or a mix of traditional and object-oriented programming.

This book assumes you are already familiar with the techniques of traditional structured programming, and uses them as a springboard for quickly understanding Rexx and, in particular, ooRexx. This approach is designed to help experienced programmers get involved quickly with the Rexx language, exploit its virtues, and become productive fast.
