[netrexx-course] REXX or JAVA or both?

[TOM MULLINS]

To use NetREXX, does one learn REXX, JAVA or both? I know NetREXX
is suppose to make programming in JAVA easier. To use it, which
(if not both?) language does one learn (or try to learn)? JAVA?
REXX? both?

Just learn NetRexx.

It's nearly as easy as Rexx, but utilizes all capabilities of Java.
You need an understanding of the OO-concept, and how it is done in
Java.
You need an understanding of Java, but IMHO you don't need to learn
Rexx.

Once you are familiar with OO, you'll see that NetRexx is easier to
code than Java, cause NetRexx was designed with the same approach as
Rexx - ease-of-use.
