PSDN News: Object-orientation and the Progress 4GL in OpenEdge Release 10.1A
With OpenEdge 10.1A we will be introducing a number of enhancements to OpenEdge, and to its language, the 4GL. Considering the enthusiastic reception from partners and customers attending Exchange 2005, an important change is the object-oriented extensions to the 4GL, or OO4GL for short. But, we do not like to use this acronym because it may mislead some customers; the use of the OO4GL acronym may set the expectation that the object-oriented constructs are separate and distinct from the 4GL language we all love, and that it replaces it or you may have to migrate to it. That is simply not the case. The object-oriented extensions have been designed to complement the 4GL, and are meant to be combined and integrated with "traditional" procedures, when it makes sense to do so. The object-oriented enhancements extend the core values of the 4GL, not replace them.There is more articles and I will link to them soon.
Enjoy,
Molly
