Unfortunately, John D. Johnson's 'RoadMap to SmartObjects' is out of print. However, there are plenty more great books introducing both developers and users to Progress Software® products. OffSite Links
Fathom is a system monitoring tool from Progress Software. Adam Backman authored the best practices manual for Fathom. The manual focuses on how to look at your system from a monitoring point of view, and then shows how to apply Fathom to both monitoring and trending of a system. It is a thorough case study on both the key components of a system to monitor, and how to monitor them, but also how to monitor and trend the usage of the Progress database, as well as how the database is performing on the current hardware installation.
Step beyond the class room and into the real world. 'Coding Smart' is the only ADM2 'how to' book available. It contains over 260 pages of explanations and examples, covering such topics as: Great insights on reusability from include files to smart objects; from the preprocessor to persistent procedures. It covers dynamic functions, building code objects, debugging, and much more. It includes plenty of information on the best ways to make your code smarter so you don't have to work harder. NOTE: This book includes the 4GL enhancements to V9 (super procedures, publish-subscribe, dynamic queries, buffers and browsers). Written by Dan Foreman, Current Edition: October 2004 A great text by Adam Backman on what you need to know to guarantee your system's integrity.

There's a lot more to backing up your system than just putting a tape in the drive! This great guide will lead you through the steps of analyzing user requests and designing reports that will be efficient and maintainable; how to analyze and rework slow reports to speed them up. Principles of multi-index requests, tools for code analysis. It covers inner and outer joins, Progress' indexing rules, multiple indexes, cursors, brackets and much more. There is even a chapter for non-technical users who may write simple queries or use a reporting tool. Making Good Progress is an encyclopedic reference for the Progress development environment. It covers the entire gamut of topics about Progress, from DB design to Smart Objects, and plenty in between. It is as germane for those who are new to Progress as for those who have been using it for several years. It covers transactions, events, GUI programming, character programming, functions, internal procedures, event-driven programming and virtually every topic you could be interested in.

Written by Scott Dulecki Written by Dan Foreman, Current Edition: November 2004 Written by Dan Foreman, Current Edition: November 2004 Geoff Crawford's new WebSpeed book WebSpeed Complete is over 230 pages in an 8 1/2 x 11 format of everything you always wanted to know about Progress WebSpeed®. Sections on Administration, Beginning Programming, Advanced Programming, and Application Tips and Tricks cover a range of topics for both beginners and advanced WebSpeed users. An introduction to the principles of event-driven programming and the many features of the post-procedural world. The title of this booklet (which is really "what do i do now that i have v7" might lead you to think that it is not relevant for V8-9-10, but it is a terrific introduction for anyone who has been working in the classic, procedural world of Progress. It will get you up to speed with events, the preprocessor, schema and UI triggers and internal procedures as well as their scoping; the query command and new issues in transactions and error handling. |
