  1. A Little Journey in the Smalltalk Model

  2. A pure and minimal object model • Less is more!

  3. No constructors • No types declaration • No interfaces • No packages/private/protected • No parametrized types • No boxing/unboxing • Still powerful

  4. 1600 simultaneous users • 1.9 billions objects • 10 000 updates/day

  5. Objects are instances of Classes

  6. Objects are instances of Classes • (10@200)

  7. Objects are instances of Classes • (10@200) class

  8. Objects are instances of Classes • (10@200) class • Point

  9. Classes are objects too

  10. Classes are objects too • Point selectors

  11.

  12. Classes are objects too • Point instVarNames

  13. Classes are objects too • Point instVarNames • >#('x' 'y')

  14. Methods are public

  15. Instance variables are protected

  16. Single Inheritance

  17. Single Inheritance • Object subclass: #Point • instanceVariableNames: 'x y' • classVariableNames: '' • poolDictionaries: '' • category: 'Graphics-Primitives'

  19. Classes are objects too

  20. Classes are objects too • Point class

  21. Classes are objects too • Point class • >Point class

  22. Classes are objects too • Point class • >Point class • “Point class” is an anonymous class with only one instance: Point

  23. Class Parallel Inheritance

  24. Lookup and Class Methods 2 2 1 1 aWorkstation name Workstation withName: ‘BigMac’

  25. About the Buttons

  26. Summary • - Everything is an object • - One single model • - Single inheritance • - Public methods • - Protected attributes • - Classes are simply objects too • - Class is instance of another class • - One unique method lookup • look in the class of the receiver
