Squeak Open Personal Computing and Multimedia
Résumé
Appropriate for Multimedia courses in Computer Science Departments.
Draws on the Squeak community: the student, the researcher, the multimedia developer, the open source developer, the hobbyist, and the professional, to assemble a compelling vision of programming with Squeak. Squeak is based on Smalltalk-80 and is the only tool that allows users to explore computer music, digital sound, advanced user interfaces, 3-D computer graphics, Flash animation, and virtual machine creation (such as for embedded systems) across Windows, Macintosh, and Linux. This book is an excellent reference.
- An authoritative guide to the use of Squeak-As a Multimedia Tool.
- Provides details on 3-D Computer Graphics, Advanced UI, Streaming Audio, and other multimedia topics.
- An authoritative guide to the use of Squeak-Explores the creation of virtual machines for multimedia or embedded systems.
- Provides detailed tours of the architecture of a virtual machine (including tradeoffs), porting it to multiple platforms and extensions mechanisms.
- The most advanced text on Squeak available.
- Provides students with the only advanced text on Squeak, an important up-and-coming programming language, and includes an introductory chapter to help those who know programming but not Squeak.
- Description of the efforts of an Open Source Community.
- Provides a description of an open source system (Squeak), an important new mechanism for developing software, and what its community is doing with it.
