Voleso HTML Templating Tool Open Sourced
Sat, 2011-10-22 09:32 — Scott AugeThe first time one needs to rework the HTML for look and feel in an application, one quickly learns about the need for separating the HTML from the application code. HTML Mapping was an attempt at this, however, there is still the need for a Progress Development License as well re-compiling on changed code.
Other languages have encountered this need – PHP with the Smarty template processor as well the various one's used in the C and C++ world. These processors do not require re-compiling and allow for HTML designers to work outside of the application code environment.

Calling out to a C++ class from the Progress ABL
Wed, 2010-04-14 01:19 — Scott AugeOn a programmer mailing list, there was a question about how to call out to a class in C++ from the Progress ABL. The following gives an example of doing so.
First, here is a bit of C++ code that hopefully illustrates a wrapper on how to call out to a class from the Progress interface (explanation follows):
------------ 2.cpp -----------
extern "C" {
int TestRoutine () ;
}
class A {
private :
int A1;
public :
int SetA1 (int V) {
A1 = V;
}
int GetA1 () {
return A1;
}
}; // class A
int TestRoutine () {
Print versions of the Progress E-Zines are now available
Tue, 2009-06-23 14:56 — Scott AugeIt has been noted that once something is on the internet, it is there forever. Apparently, this is somewhat wrong for certain types of information. The Progress E-Zine collection continues to be available on the internet, but often it is tucked away in corners that are hard to find.
With this in mind, a three volume set of the E-Zines in bound printed form are now available. No more binders full of printer paper versions of the monographs, simply reach into the book shelf for the bound copy and enjoy.
The books can be purchased from these locations:

Using Object Oriented Programming For Custom Programming In A SaaS Application
Tue, 2009-04-21 06:20 — Scott AugeIn the SaaS world, often customers will want their own customizations into the source code specific to how they want to do business with your software.
Here is a point where object oriented programming stands out. By crafting your programming in such a way that basic functionality is enhanced - you can use different classes specific to particular customers for enhanced implementation.
Since we are going to potentially be using one of multiple classes, we need to have an interface describing the methods available in the class.
