No matter what kind of programming you are doing these days you
probably heard a lot about Smalltalk. And there is a reason for that.
Its influence on what we are doing and using right now is hard to

I've used a lot of languages (professionally) over the years: (off the
top of my head) Cold Fusion, HTML, Javascript, php, SQL, CSS,
