Synopsis

This text provides instruction on object-oriented programming with the Smalltalk language. It is appropriate for a short course in Smalltalk or as a language supplement in a comprehensive course on object-oriented analysis and design. End-of-chapter exercises test analytical skills, and suggestions for programming projects are provided. Chapter 4 on graphical user interfaces enables students to program interesting programs quickly using Smalltalk's GUI classes. Aimed at college students who have taken the CS1-CS2 sequence but have only superficial understanding of OOP, Smalltalk in Brief offers the short essentials of object-oriented software development with Smalltalk in a short paperback text. The text assumes competence in a high-level programming, such as Pascal or C. The book will be of value to students who have studied C++, because frequently the complexities of C++'s syntax and semantics block mastery of the object-oriented paradigm.
