What: Introduction to Squeak Smalltalk for Programmers
A fast-paced, college-level introduction to the dynamic
language Squeak Smalltalk. Squeak is a modern open-source
development environment for the classic Smalltalk-80
programming language. Smalltalk is a purely object-oriented
language with little syntactic baggage, and Squeak offers a
freely accessible and portable implementation of its ideas.
Despite being the first purely object-oriented language and
environment, Smalltalk is in many ways still far ahead of
its successors in promoting a vision of an environment where
everything is an object, and anything can change at
run-time. .
Presenter: Ben Cooper has been Senior
Researcher-in-Residence at the Hawthorne Center for
Innovation, located in the Fontana area, for some 8 years.
Over the years Ben has taught Squeak classes to groups of
homeschoolers and is starting to work on some web-based
projects with the help of several of his alumni. With a
group of researchers from academia and industry, Ben is also
developing several products that will revolutionize the
computer industry at the hardware level using Squeak
Smalltalk as the language to "marry" with this NextGen
hardware.
How Should Attend: Individuals familiar with the
fundamentals of computer programming.
To RSVP: Sign up with Donna from the Hawthorne Center for
Innovation at:
