The Smalltalk-80 programming system is celebrating its 30th
birthday this year; Smalltalk-80 version 2 was released and
documented in a series of books in 1982. The system was the
first popular software development tool that incorporated a
number of features we take for granted today, including an
object-oriented programming language, a comprehensive
open-source class library, an integrated window-based
development environment, and a cross-platform
virtual-machine-based delivery system.</p>
<p style="margin:0px;padding:0.25em
0px;border:0px;outline:0px;background-color:transparent">This
talk will outline the requirements for software development
environments, introduce the Smalltalk language, libraries
and tools, and then contrast them with other languages in
current use. Several aspects of the Smalltalk system make it
especially good for developing multimedia applications, and
these will be introduced and compared to the multimedia
support in other development systems. The talk will end with
a manifesto of what developers should expect of their
languages, libraries and tools.</p>

Stephen Travis Pope is a software engineer and composer
based in Santa Barbara. He taught at UCSB (in the
departments of Music and Computer Science, and the Graduate
Program in Media Arts and Technology) from 1996-2010, and is
now known as FASTLabInc.com (for multimedia software) and
HeavenEverywhere.com (for music and film). Stephen was among
the very first to use Smalltalk for real-world applications
(in 1984), and worked on the Smalltalk team at Xerox PARC
and their spin-off ParcPlace Systems from 1986-94.</p>
