ABL Dojo is an interactive website and a developer utility that lets you write, run and share Progress OpenEdge Advanced Business Language (ABL) code from your web browser.
ABL Dojo aims to reduce the entry barriers for new users by letting them try out ABL without having to install any software.
It is also useful as a Scratch Pad Editor for current ABL developers to quickly try out snippets without having to launch their development setup.
All you need is a browser to start writing ABL.
As an added bonus, users can also get started quickly by exploring the code snippets that are already provided.
ABL Dojo also lets you create snippets and share them using a unique URL which makes code sharing in communities or with your co-worker's collaborative and efficient.
Now, let’s see a short demo of this interactive website and developer utility.
You can launch ABL Dojo using your favorite browser. Just type in this URL and press Enter. The default homepage of ABL Dojo is now launched. By default, you will find a “Hello World” program. Let's go ahead and run it by clicking the “Run” button. And there you go!
The output appears in the output pane.
Similarly, you can write complex programs with multiple files, procedural or object-oriented paradigm.
You can also explore existing code snippets by clicking “load sample”.
This is a good way to see and try out sample ABL code.
Also, sharing your own code snippets is simple. Create the snippet that you want to share and click the share button. This generates a unique URL that you can share with your co-workers, in Communities, embedded in your blogs, or wherever else you would like to share.
