Dolphin Smalltalk is a pure object-oriented programming language that enables you to build applications that are fully featured and easy to maintain. If you have no previous programming experience or want to build on your knowledge of Smalltalk, this book is for you. It will show you, step-by-step, how to design and build a complete application in Dolphin Smalltalk.
You will learn:
- How to split an application into components
- How to build these components using object-oriented techniques
- How to apply principles learned in developing different applications
Features:
- A running example throughout the text, using Formula One results tracking and score-keeping to illustrate the framework in which the whole application works
- CD ROM containing Dolphin Smalltalk 4.0, plus source code for all the chapters
