New Cincom Smalltalk Screencasts
I mentioned Cincom’s videos a while back. In preparation for the newest release of VisualWorks (I would expect a release of ObjectStudio soon after), Jim Robertson has redone a lot of the older screencasts and added more besides.
If you are at all interested in Smalltalk, which is at or near the root of the whole object-oriented programming concept, you should take a look at these videos.
I am also waiting for the Squeak fork Pharo to get into the Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, or Mandriva repositories, so I can try it out. In the Linux world, most software is now installed, updated, and uninstalled through the distribution’s package manager. Hopefully, the Pharo guys will connect with GetDeb or Livna if the distros are unwilling to directly distribute compatible packages.



VisualWorks and ObjectStudio are released simultaneously – and both are at presumed gold build status now. We expect the release of VW 7.7 and OS 8.2 before January.
Also, a subset of the videos (there’s nearly 9 GB of them now) will ship on the ObjectStudio DVD.
