About Smalltalk

AIDA/Web is a Smalltalk application, therefore you need a Smalltalk first. Currently we support six dialects:

• Squeak, open source, download it here
• Gemstone/S from Gemstone, download GLASS here
• VisualWorks and ObjectStudio from Cincom, download Non-commercial version here
  
• Dolphin Smalltalk from ObjectArts, download Community Edition here.
• Smalltalk/X from Exept, download free version here.
  

If you are new to Smalltalk then read an on-line book Squeak by Example.
