Developing Visual Programming Applications Using Smalltalk uses object-oriented visual programming environments to illustrate the concepts of object-oriented software construction. It introduces blueprints as a method to record visual programming applications and includes sample applications using VisualAge, VisualSmalltalk, and VisualWorks. This is the first book to use object-oriented visual programming tools to teach principles of object-oriented programming. It introduces a new approach that allows an easy transition from pseudocode to Smalltalk statements. The author also uses CRC Cards, Responsibility Driven Design, and Use-Cases methodologies to construct one of the larger applications.
