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.
