Smalltalk is one of the most influential object-oriented languages ever designed. Its simplicity, live environment, and pure object model make it a strong choice for developers who want to deepen their understanding of software design.
The VAST Platform is a proven Smalltalk-based development environment that helps organizations build secure, stable, and scalable applications. It combines the flexibility developers love with the enterprise-grade features businesses need which enables teams to innovate quickly, deploy, and deliver lasting results.
For teams working with VAST, keeping skills current is essential. That’s why we’ve created the ‘Introduction to VAST Platform’ training program, a live, hands-on course designed to help developers build a strong foundation in Smalltalk and gain the confidence to start being productive with VAST from day one.
The Intro to VAST training program helps both junior developers and experienced engineers gain practical skills that translate into higher productivity and more maintainable codebases.
For organizations already working with VAST, structured training is an effective way to:
Prerequisite Skills
The Intro to VAST Training Program is designed to be accessible for developers with a range of backgrounds. While no prior Smalltalk experience is required, participants should have some real-world programming experience. Even though it isn’t required, familiarity with object-oriented programming will make it easier for participants to engage with the training.
This 5-day, instructor-led course is built around hands-on learning. Through 20 guided exercises, participants will gain proficiency in:
Learn from Experts
The course is led by an advanced Smalltalker with decades of experience working with Smalltalk. You’ll learn not just “how” to code in Smalltalk, but the best practices and workflows that make teams more effective in real-world projects.
The goal of the Intro to VAST training program is to equip developers and teams with the skills and confidence to build and maintain enterprise-grade applications in the VAST Platform. Through live, instructor-led training, participants gain a solid foundation in Smalltalk while also learning modern development techniques that improve productivity, code quality, and project sustainability.
