Description
Windows Programming for Everyone
This course will teach you how to program on your Windows computer by building working programs using the Rexx programming language.
Rexx is the Perfect Programming Language to learn quickly and easily.
Rexx is easy to learn because its like English, uses variables that are typeless and can hold any kind of information, and it provides wonderful interactive tracing capability.
You only need your Windows PC and a download of the free Rexx programming software to get started.
Watch the lectures in full screen and high resolution mode for the best viewing experience, and download and review the source code file included with each lecture.
To get the most out of this course you should create and run each program on your computer.
In this course you'll learn about variables, program loops, reading and writing files, functions and how to put them all together in a working program.
You can build applications that are simple but time saving, or large applications to track your business operation.
We’ll build our programs using Windows Notepad, and run them by double clicking the program name in Windows Explorer.
You can copy or download information from the internet and shape it in the most useful fashion, or work with information from email or attachments.
Rexx is the best language for everyday applications. I use Rexx programs to search for files, reorganize my bank and bill pay accounts, and track the movements of stocks and options to determine best entry price..
Rexx will benefit the beginner and the expert. The beginner has the easiest possible way to learn to program and the expert learns a valuable tool for programming in Windows.
The course has over five hours of step by step instruction that will prepare you for writing programs on your own. You can create programs that help you be more productive. In addition, the course provides a collection of useful programs to get you started.
Who this course is for:
- The course is for everyone from beginner to expert
- The beginner will be guided from start to finish
- The expert will add a new tool to his arsenal

I grew up in New Jersey and attended Wheaton College in Wheaton Illinois where I majored in Math and Physics. I've lived and worked in New Jersey for most of my life.
I started out as a computer programmer for a large insurance company and I worked there for many years. I left that job and worked at home as a stock trader. Then I worked again as a programmer for a large payroll and brokerage support company. I left there to trade stocks and options again, and that's what I'm doing now.
I have experience with many programming languages from both the pc and mainframe environments. I've designed, programmed, implemented and supported many computer systems. One system lasted in a production environment for over ten years, which is forever in our always changing computer world. I've also trained people in programming languages and application operations.
I use the Rexx programming language every day to help me select and track stock and option trades, and to simplify my life. Rexx is very easy to learn and use and it saves me hours of time, and its even fun to write Rexx programs.
My wife and I have one son who graduated from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School and is now serving as a worship leader and youth minister in Minnesota. Too cold and too far away for me. I attend Grace Fellowship Evangelical Free Church in Milford New Jersey and serve Jesus as my Lord and Savior.
I hope you will enjoy my enthusiasm for teaching the things I love to do.
