Programming in dBL (introduction)
dBL is an object-oriented, event-driven programming language that allows developers to create sophisticated, scalable applications using objects and classes.
Objects are a means of encapsulating collections of variables, some containing data, others referencing code. Classes are a mechanism for creating reusable groups of objects. With dBASE Plus, you can
Create objects from standard classes or classes you declare
Add custom properties to an object with a simple assignment statement
Declare custom classes
Declare classes that are based on other classes and inherit their properties and methods
Write highly reusable code by building hierarchies of classes
