Using ProDataSets: OpenEdge 12 Course
On-Demand Training
Course Description
This course is intended for application developers who want to incorporate modern, efficient data-handling in their applications. Students should have experience working with Advanced Business Language (ABL). This course guides students through the design and development of applications using ABL datasets (ProDataSets).
In this course, the student will learn how to identify when and where to use datasets and then practice incorporating datasets into applications during hands-on exercises using Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge. The course emphasizes defining, populating, and performing data operations using datasets and sharing data with other applications. The course includes an overview how datasets are used in a distributed architecture, how to control the behavior of datasets, and how read or write dataset data as JSON data.
This course is available as part of the Basic OpenEdge Developer Learning Path and Certification Exam program.
