Code examples are provided throughout this guide to help you learn ABL.

You can set up your own development environment and use the sample sports2020 database, or create your own database to work with. More information on setting up your development environment can be found in the Progress OpenEdge documentation:

  • Install OpenEdge
  • Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge
  • Manage the OpenEdge Database

The Develop ABL Applications and ABL Reference books can also be helpful when working with ABL.
