Smalltalk

I was a Smalltalk programmer for about one year during my involvement with two large-scale software systems for semiconductor manufacturing automation. My specialist area was writing control systems using ControlWORKS Framework.

Core Skills

Experience

My professional background in developing software with Smalltalk includes implementing HMIs and machine control logic. I used VisualWorks with refactoring tool Refactoring Browser as well as repository manager ENVY/Developer.

In retrospect, Smalltalk indeed gave me profound grounding in object orientation. I was very fortunate to work with this language in two large industrial projects at the beginning of my career.

Being a "pure" OO language with simple, elegant syntax and powerful IDE that eliminates the usual "Edit-Compile-Link-Run-Test-Debug" build cycle, Smalltalk enabled rapid development of both Lynx and ProCell.
