The Symposium provides a focal point for information about the Rexx family
of languages which include Classic Rexx, Object Rexx (a powerful
object-oriented programming language), and NetRexx (a Java development
language) and a venue for technical interchange among members of the Rexx
community.
The technical program will feature presentations by acknowledged experts in
the Rexx community on a broad range of topics. Vendors will highlight new
and enhanced product offerings and offer technical assistance. The program
will span the full range of platforms on which Rexx languages are
implemented, including Windows 95/NT, Unix and Linux, as well as all IBM
operating systems.
Speakers include:
