Reviews"In Squeak, you have your hands in one of the most late bound, yet practical, programming systems ever created. It is also an artifact which is wide, broad, and deep enough to permit real scientific study, creation of new theories, mathematics, engineering constructions, and even its own successor! Please use this book to learn how to do all of the above." Alan Kay, V-P Research, Disney Imagineering "The text presents OO concepts in the context of Smalltalk (Squeak), which is by far the best environment and language in which to learn the concepts. The author is clearly enthusiastic about the subject matter...authoritative in explaining the basics of Smalltalk." Keith R. Pierce, St. Paul Companies

SynopsisThis guidebook contains a free Squeak CD, which includes version 2.7 of Squeak compatible with Windows 95/98/NT, WindowsCE, Macintosh, Linux, Solaris, SGI, Acorn, BeOS. It also includes source code for examples, Squeak extras, and lecture notes in PowerPoint and Squeak-native formats., For Sophomore/Senior-level courses in Object-Oriented Programming or Comparative Programming Languages where a book on object-oriented language is required. This innovative text teaches object-oriented programming using Squeak a powerful, freely available language that is highly effective for teaching object-oriented programming. Using a focus on the basics and compelling case studies, the text covers the whole process of object-oriented development from object-oriented analysis and design, through user interface design and application evaluation.
