Smalltalk/V features pure object-oriented programming, a revolutionary approach to data abstraction, providing a new dimension in which to organize the elements of a software system. For you, this means being able to create highly reusable software, truly generic code and the opportunity to use a prototyping style of software development.

Smalltalk has suffered because it lacked a testing culture. This column describes a simple testing strategy and a framework to support it. The testing strategy and framework are not intended to be complete solutions, but rather a starting point from which industrial strength tools and procedures can be constructed.

Smalltalk is a wonderfully productive programming environment that runs on nearly every computing platform and has a half-dozen vendors supporting it. However, it isn't nearly as popular as it ought to be, and the vendors don't have the resources to develop it as its users would like. So, a group of Smalltalk advocates have decided to step up and help Smalltalk reach its potential.

PNtalk is a long-term project started by Vladimir Janousek in 1993 (in the early phase of his Ph.D. study which was supervised by Milan Ceska) as an original attempt to bring high-level Petri nets closer to programming languages

Designed for expressive power and malleability, Self combines a pure, prototype-based object model with uniform access to state and behavior. Unlike other languages, Self allows objects to inherit state and to change their patterns of inheritance dynamically.

Apostle (Aspect Programming in Smalltalk) is an extension of the Smalltalk language providing Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) functionality. It was developed to explore the feasibility to make AOP a natural extension of Smalltalk environments -- meaning with no separate compilation phase. Of greatest importance was supporting the immediacy of any program change, while ensuring that performance not suffer.

Is an expert system shell I wrote in Smalltalk, it can be used standalone or as a set of classes to incorporate in a Smalltalk application to incorporate in your application artificial intelligence rasoning system, that ExperTalk is.

Squeak is a modern, open source, highly portable, fast and full-featured implementation of the powerful Smalltalk programming language and environment.

VA Smalltalk enables software developers to create highly portable, scaleable, multi-tier business applications using object-oriented technology. VA Smalltalk allows for incremental and rapid development of new Smalltalk applications

GemStone/S is the state-of-the-art platform for developing, deploying, and managing scalable, high-performance, multi-tier applications based on business objects.

Versant's Object Database Technology is used in a wide variety of industries to store and access hierarchical, and graph-oriented data. Some of the most successful uses of Versant Object Database are in the field of telecommunications.

Transparent Persistence + Transaction Processing. Smalltalk is the pure object-oriented programming language of choice for complex business applications. However, the benefits of object encapsulation of business logic can be lost in the discontinuity between language and database. VOSS 3.0 ODBMS extends Smalltalk with persistent object storage, transparent access and transaction management, making Smalltalk objects virtual with seamless transaction processing built in

Object Database Management System for Visual Smalltalk 3.1, Dolphin Smalltalk, VisualAge Smalltalk, VisualWorks Smalltalk, Squeak. MinneStore is a free, object-oriented database that is written entirely in Smalltalk and provides storage and retrieval of complex Smalltalk objects. It is designed to eventually support simultaneous updating by multiple clients, but this feature is not ready yet.

This is an open-source object-relational mapping layer for Smalltalk. Versions are available for VisualWorks 7 and 5i, VisualAge, Dolphin Smalltalk, Squeak and not-very-well-tested for VW 2.5 or 3. GLORP is a Camp Smalltalk Project, led by Alan Knight (mail). Its goal is to provide a simple, powerful framework for reading and writing objects from relational databases. It was originally sponsored by The Object People (although it is fully open source) and its concepts are reminiscent of TOPLink, though noticably different in some respects.

Answers to frequently asked questions regarding general development issues in Smalltalk MT. Smalltalk MT Development FAQs. Index of X-Zone's Smalltalk MT FAQs. A hands on introduction to using Smalltalk MT with DIrectx. Provides step by step instructions for loading, executing, modifying, and debugging a DirectX sample project. This article shows some initial differences in syntax, operators and DLL usage between C++ and Smalltalk MT. A Brief Introduction to Smalltalk MT.

Smalltalk MT is a language just like C++. Smalltalk MT compiles and produces an executable or DLL or COM component that can function exactly like a C++ created component. There are differences in the language and differences in the development environment that allow Smalltalk to compliment C++ development. Smalltalk MT uses the Smalltalk language that is absolutely consistent in its approach. C++ uses both methods and functions because of the C history which was entirely function based. Smalltalk MT uses only methods. Statements are always of the form 'receiver method'.
