Developing visual programming applications using Smalltalk

From the Publisher: Developing Visual Programming Applications Using Smalltalk uses object oriented visual programming environments to illustrate the concepts of object-oriented software construction. It introduces blueprints as a method to record visual programming applications and includes sample applications using VisualAge, VisualSmalltalk, and VisualWorks. This is the first book to use object-oriented visual programming tools to teach principles of object-oriented programming. It introduces a new approach that allows an easy transition from pseudocode to Smalltalk statements. The author also uses CRC Cards, Responsibility Driven Design, and Use-Cases methodologies to construct one of the larger applications. Developing Visual Programming Applications Using Smalltalk helps readers create Smalltalk applications using the three most popular Smalltalk environments: VisualAge, VisualSmalltalk (PARTS), and VisualWorks; saves the time needed to learn Smalltalk; saves money on courses and mentoring; resolves on-the-job problems through case examples; includes relevant screen shots, tables, photographs, and drawings; and offers practical guidance and solutions for programmers with limited experience with Smalltalk.
