I have recently been working with Gal Zsolt of CalmoSoft on improving several of the Vista Smalltalk tools.
As I have noted in previous blogs, almost all Smalltalk scripts have now been moved to the Vista Smalltalk Wiki, and load streams are generated dynamically from code contained in Wiki pages. Because of this change, it is now practical to do widely distributed code development. When CalmoSoft makes a change, I can test the code immediately – and vice versa.
The Wiki software has features like “access control lists”, “user account management”, and version control. It is also free, as are the Php programs that I have created for it.
And it is not only the Smalltalk code that can be developed in this way. All of the Xaml files used in Vst applications are also dynamically loaded from the Wiki. The Wiki technique should be ideal for graphic artists to participate in creating applications or games.
Vista Smalltalk is capable of distributed development and realtime deployment.
It’s really amazing.
The slogan of CalmoSoft:
There are two types of programmers :
the one who already use Vista Smalltalk
and the others who are going to use it
some time.
