You don't have to know object-oriented programming to get started with VAST Platform; you can immediately begin developing advanced object-oriented applications and learn object-oriented technology at your own pace using the visual programming tools.

With VA Smalltalk, you can develop applications by visually arranging and connecting prefabricated parts. You can also take advantage of the flexibility of VAST Platform by creating your own reusable parts. You will learn how you can easily extend your applications further or create more robust parts by using the underlying Smalltalk language and development tools.
