Introductory Smalltalk-80 Class

Tektronix will be holding a four-day Introductory Smalltalk-80 class on April
14-17, 1986, at Irvine, California.  This class will introduce the student
to object oriented programming, enable the student to extend the Smalltalk
language by adding new methods and classes, and prepare the student to write
simple applications using the model-view-controller paradigm.  Participants
should be experienced in at least one high level programming language.

This class has been held previously in Gaithersburg MD and Dallas TX and
recieved excellent reviews.

Advanced Smalltalk-80 Class

Tektronix will be holding an Advanced Smalltalk-80 class on April 22-25, 1986,
at Beaverton, Oregon.  This class will enable the student to utilize advanced
techniques of Smalltalk, including advanced model-view-controller concepts,
project management and team programming, multi-process programming, and 
external processes and language interfaces.  Participants  will be expected
to understand the major classes of Smalltalk and should have three to six
months of Smalltalk programming experience.

Schedule:

	Introductory:	Irvine, California	14-17 April 1986
	Advanced:	Beaverton, Oregon	22-25 April 1986

	I attended the Smalltalk-80 class that Tek did in Dallas.
	I found it to be extremely well done.  They have thought
	this out and provide a well organized class with: notes,
	hands-on labs, and true interest in "preaching Smalltalk"
	not being an excessive marketing ploy to get you to buy
	their machines...though I am sure they would love that as
	well.
