Open Edge - Guide

Hi! I've decided to make this guide to give some hints about programming with OpenEdge ABL (aka Progress).

This is because there is no much content about progress besides the official documents. When I started learning and working with this language, most of what I learned was debugging old programs and LOTS of research.

I'll try to make a basic Wiki about some essentials about progress.
