About the Book

VisualAge is IBM's cross platform object-oriented development environment. This guide provides detailed information on how to develop distributed object applications using using VisualAge Smalltalk and SOM objects. It also shows how to apply IBM's Visual Modelling Technique, and how IBM's System Object Model (SOM) implements the industry-wide CORBA standard.
