VA Smalltalk makes you more productive by providing interactive visual programming tools and a set of parts that represent the client/server spectrum. You create applications by assembling and connecting parts. In many cases, you do not even have to write code.

If you have not installed VA Smalltalk and want to build the examples presented in this guide, refer to the information on installing and starting the product in the Installation Guide

This guide builds on the information and skills you learned about the basic development environment and visual programming in Getting Started. It focuses on visual programming framework and tools which are built on top of the VA Smalltalk basic capability described in the Smalltalk User Guide.
