Course Descriptions

4GL Essentials

This course is for developers who want to get started programming in the Progress 4GL. The 4GL is useful to developers writing applications using any of the user interfaces: GUI, Character, WebSpeed, Web Client, etc. Therefore, this is a foundation course that serves as a prerequisite to several other courses in the curriculum.

The Progress 4GL has many built-in powerful features that help you write business applications and manage multi-user database access. To get the most out of this course, you should already have some experience in another programming language, and should be familiar with constructs such as looping, assignment, conditional branching and modularity. In this course, you learn how to program these types of constructs using the Progress 4GL. You also learn how to use the 4GL to access and manipulate data, write and run procedures, and design and code application logic. This course uses the OpenEdge AppBuilder and the Progress Procedure Editor as tools to write and test your code.


4GL Reporting: Generating Custom Reports is designed for ISV customers and Progress end-users who have previous experience with the Progress 4GL and who want to learn more about writing customized 4GL reports.

In this course, you will learn how to write 4GL procedures that control and customize the report format, display summary statistics and generate customized reports for different audiences.


4GL Reporting: From the Beginning is designed for ISV customers and Progress end-users who have been asked to write customized 4GL reports, but who have no previous experience with the Progress 4GL.

4GL Reporting: From the Beginning consists of two parts:

• 4GL Programming Basics • Generating Custom Reports

In this course, you will learn the Progress 4GL you need to create useful professional-looking business reports. You will learn how to write 4GL procedures that control and customize the report format, display summary statistics and generate customized reports for different audiences.

Character Programming in Progress This course is designed as an introductory course that teaches the fundamentals of programming in character mode and who are new to the Progress fourth generation language (4GL). Some programming experience is strongly recommended. The course covers building a character-based application to resolve business type scenarios. It teaches how to write code for both the procedural and the event driven programming models.

Version 1.0 15

Course Descriptions


This course is designed for experienced Progress 4GL developers, including character developers who know how to write structured business logic procedures using the Progress 4GL. You will learn how to apply Progress recommended best practices to build thin-client graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for host based, client/server, and the latest n-tier distributed applications. Using the 4GL, the AppBuilder, and ProVision's basic objects and SmartDataObjects, you will learn how to build state of the art graphical user interfaces quickly, cleanly, and efficiently.

Using ProDataSets

Designed for application developers, this course guides students through the design and development of Progress DataSets (ProDataSets). The developer learns how to identify when and where to use ProDataSets and then practices incorporating ProDataSets into applications in a controlled lab environment. Lectures emphasize defining, populating, and performing data operations using ProDataSets.

The course includes an overview of the ProDataSet architecture, how applications are built using ProDataSets, how to control the default behavior of ProDataSets, and how to marshal ProDataSets from one application to another (including .NET).


Developers writing applications using any of the user interfaces (GUI, Character, WebSpeed, Web Client, etc.) need to be able to write efficient 4GL code to drive their application. Developers also may be called upon to tune existing applications to improve performance. This course is designed for developers who are already familiar with the Progress® 4GL and who wish to improve the efficiency of their code.

The techniques presented in this course enable you to write code that runs faster, uses fewer resources, and raises user confidence in the system. You learn to use a variety of tools, such as ETIME, XREF, PROMON, and Profiler, to pinpoint the causes of poor performance and correct the problems that you find. Among the techniques you will learn are modifying indexes to improve query performance, raising or lowering transaction scope to control how records are processed, and choosing the best locking strategies for your transactions. In the hands-on demonstrations and lab exercises you practice identifying and correcting common coding errors and improving application performance.

OpenEdge & XML

This course is a bundle of

• XML Essentials • Progress Development with XML.

Version 1.0 16

Course Descriptions

XML Essentials

This course provides application developers with a solid introduction to the eXtensible Markup Language (XML) and its associated schema languages. Many of the most recent application environments utilize inter-application communication either within or outside of the Enterprise. The communication is typically based upon SOAP messages which contain XML documents. XML is the most widely-used format for transferring data from one application to another.

This course covers the basic concepts that a developer needs to know about XML and the two forms of schema that are used for validating XML documents: Document Type Definition (DTD) and XML Schema. Hands-on lab experience ensures full exposure to the development of XML, DTD, and XML Schema documents using the Sonic Stylus Studio IDE. In addition, the students are given some experience with the validation of documents by running 4GL programs.


This course provides experienced 4GL developers with the knowledge and skills essential for developing a 4GL application that creates and modifies XML documents. Many of the most recent application environments utilize inter-application communication either within or outside of the Enterprise. The communication is typically based upon SOAP messages which contain XML documents. XML is the most widely-used format for transferring data from one application to another.

This course covers the basic concepts that a developer needs to know about XML and how an XML document can be created, updated and mapped to or from a database using the 4GL. The student will learn how to use the Document Object Model (DOM) for accessing an XML document using the 4GL. The student will also learn how to use the Simple API for XML (SAX) using the 4GL for reading XML documents.

Hands-on lab experience ensures full exposure to all aspects of accessing XML documents with using the 4GL.

Dynamic Database Object Essentials

This course is designed for experienced Progress 4GL character and GUI developers who want to add the power and flexibility of dynamic objects to their applications. You will learn how to use dynamic objects to write smaller, reusable code that increases the performance and maintainability of your application and reduces the size of your code and the footprint of your application. This course shows you how to use dynamic database objects (Dynamic Queries, Dynamic Buffers, and Dynamic Temp-Tables) to retrieve data from a database and pass the data to user interface procedures. You can easily extend these skills to apply dynamic database objects to managing database transactions and other business logic operations.

Dynamic UI Object Essentials

This course is designed for intermediate level Progress 4GL GUI application developers who want to create user interfaces that are more flexible, easier to deploy, smaller, and easier to update.

Students learn, through lessons, exercises, and hands-on labs, to build user interface procedures using 4GL dynamic user interface objects in the AppBuilder. Dynamic user interface objects, such as dynamic menus, buttons, fill-ins, and browses are created and configured at run-time and enable the application to adapt to changing requirements while running. This course builds on the content of the Dynamic Database Object Essentials course.

Version 1.0 17

This course is designed for OpenEdge10 customers who want to provide OpenEdge business logic to a .NET client application. If you have an application built with the distributed model using the AppServer, then you are ready to take the next step-connecting that application to a .NET user interface. This enables you to use Microsoft .NET for the application's UI, and take advantage of OpenEdge to provide the core functionality of your application-the business logic and database.

This course shows you how to use the ProxyGen tool to generate objects and object structures that map to .NET objects. In this way, you can have the best of both worlds: .NET for the UI, and OpenEdge business logic for back-end application functions.

Opening 4GL Applications to Web Services Clients

This course is designed for OpenEdge10 customers who want to provide OpenEdge business logic to a Web Services client application. If you have an application built with the distributed model using the AppServer, then you are ready to take the next step-connecting that application to a Web Services user interface. This enables you to use the Web Services standard for the application's UI, and take advantage of OpenEdge to provide the core functionality of your application-the business logic.

This course shows you how to use the ProxyGen tool to generate objects and object structures that map to Web Services objects. You will also learn how to set up a Java Servlet Engine (JSE) and the Web Services Adapter (WSA) needed to connect your OpenEdge AppServer to the Web Services clients. In this way, you can have the best of both worlds: Web Services for the UI, and OpenEdge business logic for back-end application functions.

Version 1.0 18

Course Descriptions


This course is for Progress character and GUI developers who want to get started building applications using the ADM2 and SmartObjects. This course will enable you to write components that can be plugged together to build applications. By using SmartObjects as application components, you can update an application by changing code in a single program, rather than searching for multiple instances of the same code in different programs.

In this course, you learn how to use the AppBuilder to assemble an application from pre-built SmartObjects and establish links between SmartObjects. Then you learn how to create SmartObject masters, modify default behavior, and apply modularity and reusability techniques to application design and development. In the transaction section, you learn where to code business logic such as validation so that applications are ready for both local deployment and distributed deployment using the AppServer.


This course provides direction for customizing SmartObject applications and for extending the ADM2 in recommended ways. It is intended for experienced Progress developers who already know how to work with SmartObjects and are comfortable using the Progress 4GL and the AppBuilder tools.

This course will enable you to customize components that can be plugged together to build applications. By using SmartObjects as application components, you can update an application by changing code in a single program, rather than searching for multiple instances of the same code in different programs.

In this course, you learn to design and build customized SmartObjects that can be easily re-used by other developers. This makes large-scale application development faster and more efficient. You also learn techniques for customizing transaction and record management, and for finding the right ADM2 procedures to override. You learn how to build new types of SmartObjects, add new links, new super procedures and new properties, and how to integrate these new components into the ADM2.


This course shows how to design, build, and test distributed-ready SmartDataObjects (SDOs). SDOs by default are designed to work in a distributed environment. When you design your own business logic in the SDO, or in a procedure run by the SDO, you must follow some guidelines to ensure that your custom code also will run in a distributed environment. This course covers the specific techniques to ensure that your customized SDOs are ready to deploy in a distributed environment.


This course is designed for all who want to administer Progress V9 or OpenEdge RDBMS 10 databases. It teaches the concepts, procedures, and guidelines used in database administration.
