Abstract

ooRexx introduces and implements the message paradigm (inspired by SmallTalk), making it easy for programmers to conceptually interact with objects of any complexity and environment. This tutorial explains and demonstrates messages using short, nutshell examples, thereby explaining how ooRexx's object-oriented features work. It should become understandable why it is easy for beginners to employ the message paradigm successfully and to understand important object-oriented concepts like method resolution and inheritance.
