Tools for Business Logic offer the greatest benefit to those developers who adhere to the principles of the OpenEdge Reference Architecture (OERA), an application-design methodology based on maximizing re-usability and ease of maintenance by keeping data access, business logic, and user interface code in separate components. Progress Software Corporation encourages developers to become familiar with OERA concepts and to apply them to the extent possible in their own applications. However, you need not follow OERA guidelines to use the tools.
For links to more information about OERA go to the
Architecture, SaaS, & Cloud Computing page on the Progress Communities Web site.
