 Speaker: Mike Warkentin
-
Abstract: Have you met REXX? Many folks haven't and don't realize that REXX and the IBM i have a lot in Common.
REXX is the largest and most unknown programming language in the world, and like IBM i – it just works. So how come no one knows about it?
It's time to learn a little about REXX and see what it can do for you. This introductory session will outline just what REXX is, where you can run it (almost everywhere!), how it compares to CL and RPG, the basic constructs and provide some expressions and examples running on IBM i.
Come to this entertaining session and start down the path of becoming a true REXXpert.
