Introduction to VisualAge Smalltalk

Course Description

This five-day course provides a solid working knowledge of the IBM Smalltalk language and the VisualAge for Smalltalk development environment. Participants create Smalltalk methods and classes and develop elementary Smalltalk applications, using a broad range of VisualAge browsers and tools. Participants view and use the major subclasses of the Collection and Magnitude hierarchies. Participants become familiar with the built-in configuration management system and create basic VisualAge visual parts. The course format is 50% lecture and 50% hands-on computer time.

Mission Software

Has created a Smalltalk compiler for the Java Virtual Machine. This compiler allows Smalltalk to run on any JVM. The compiler currently produces 100% Java class files fully compatible with the Sun Java Virtual Machine specification. This allows Smalltalk and Java code to interact seamlessly and allows Smalltalk programs to run anywhere Java runs! Click to learn more
