This book is recognized as the standard reference manual for the REXX Programming Language, much as Kernighan and Ritchie is recognized as the standard reference book for the C Programming Language.

&Quot;Whether you're new to Rexx or are an experienced Rexx programmer, this comprehensive reference offers you what you need to know in order to work with this easy yet powerful scripting language on any level. After a quick overview of the basics of Rexx, you'll move on to more advanced scripting topics such as portable code and optimal coding style.". "This book is for programmers on any platform who are either looking to learn Rexx or already use it and want to expand their knowledge of Rexx. A basic knowledge of programming is assumed."--BOOK JACKET.

Textbook on computer programming using REXX - includes theoretical exercises. Glossary.

The Restructured Extended Executor (REXX) language is a procedural language that allows you to write programs and algorithms in a clear and structural way. It is an interpreted and compiled language, and you do not have to compile a REXX command list before executing it. With IBM z/OS V1.9, you can harness the versatility of REXX to interface and interact with the power of SDSF. A new function called REXX with SDSF is available that provides access to SDSF functions through the use of the REXX programming language. This REXX support provides a simple and powerful alternative to using SDSF batch. This IBM Redbooks publication describes the new support and provides sample REXX execs that exploit the new function and that perform real-world tasks related to operations, systems programming, system administration, and automation. This book complements the SDSF documentation, which is primarily reference information. The audience for this book includes operations support, system programmers, automation support, and anyone with a desire to access SDSF using a REXX interface.

"NetRexx is a new human-oriented programming language, designed as an effective and simple alternative to the Java language. With NetRexx, you can create programs and applets for the Java environment faster and more easily than by programming in Java. Using and writing Java classes is especially easy in NetRexx, as the different types of numbers and strings that Java expects are handled automatically by the language." "Inspired by two very different programming languages, Rexx and Java, NetRexx blends the easy-to-learn syntax of Rexx with the robustness and portability of the Java environment. The result is a language which is tuned for both scripting and application development, and is therefore truly general-purpose." "In this book, Cowlishaw both introduces and defines the NetRexx language; these descriptions are complemented by a discussion of the key design principles of the language."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Practical Usage of MVS REXX provides a concise and complete source of information for the development of applications using the REXX language - IBM's systems application architecture procedural language. The book adopts a highly practical approach and includes many lists and diagrams to make finding the relevant information as easy to find and use as possible. It particularly emphasises the interfacing capabilities of REXX. Both beginners and experts will find the book useful. Beginners are led through the steps required to develop REXX applications via a series of worked examples, and experts will find a complete and easy reference to the language.

Quickly learn the ropes with the Rust programming language using this practical, step-by-step guide In Beginning Rust Programming, accomplished programmer and author Ric Messier delivers a highly practical, real-world guide to coding with Rust. Avoiding dry, theoretical content and “Hello, world”-type tutorials of questionable utility, the book dives immediately into functional Rust programming that takes advantage of the language’s blazing speed and memory efficiency. Designed from the ground up to give you a running start to using the multiparadigm system programming language, this book will teach you to: Solve real-world computer science problems of practical importance Use Rust’s rich type system and ownership model to guarantee memory-safety and thread-safety Integrate Rust with other programming languages and use it for embedded devices Perfect for programmers with some experience in other languages, like C or C++, Beginning Rust Programming is also a great pick for students new to programming and seeking a user-friendly and robust language with which to start their coding career.
