Getting Started


What is VisualAge?

VisualAge is an industrial-strength, object-oriented, easy-to-use, visual application development environment. With VisualAge, you can rapidly develop and execute graphical client/server applications for the IBM OS/2, Microsoft Windows, AIX, HP-UX, and Sun Solaris operating systems.

Because VisualAge is a pure object-oriented application development environment, you can easily reuse or extend your applications. You don't have to know object-oriented programming to get started with VisualAge. With VisualAge, you can immediately begin developing advanced object-oriented applications and learn object-oriented technology at your own pace.

With VisualAge, you can develop applications by visually arranging and connecting prefabricated parts. You can also take advantage of the flexibility of VisualAge by creating your own reusable parts. You will learn how you can easily extend your applications further or create more robust parts by using the underlying IBM Smalltalk language and tools.
