3:00     --   5:00	Piedmont	Chip Davis chip@aresti.com Senior Instructor Aresti Systems, LLC Research Triangle Park, NC USA	Introduction to Java Programming Using NetRexx Looking for a fast and easy way to create powerful Java programs?   Not wild about having to learn a new C-style language to do it?   Aren't really sure if this whole "object-oriented" idea is for you?   NetRexx is the answer.   Building on the philosophy of the Rexx family of languages, NetRexx allows you to write object-oriented programs in a human-oriented language.   What you write in NetRexx will run anywhere that there is a Java Virtual Machine.   Chip will show you the minor differences between NetRexx and Classic Rexx.   Previous object-orientation not a prerequisite.
