During an engaging discussion moderated by John Markoff, a Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times reporter, Goldberg and Ingalls delved into Smalltalk’s original educational purpose and its profound impact on object-oriented programming languages, development environments, and software engineering methodologies. Additionally, Alan Kay, the creator of Smalltalk, provided recorded remarks for this momentous occasion. • You can watch this entire presentation here: https://youtu.be/PaOMiNku1_M While object-oriented programming has been in existence since the 1970s, it wasn’t until 1997 that Cincom gained full ownership of ObjectStudio.
