For developers of scalable internet, intranet, and client/server applications, ObjectStudio programming tools provide increased productivity to help you meet the rapid time-to-market requirements of today’s market.
For customers and partners that need to build applications that cleanly fold into a Microsoft-centric infrastructure, ObjectStudio is an excellent choice. It’s known as the “business person’s thinking tool.” Based on the powerful Smalltalk language, ObjectStudio provides a robust development environment necessary to create innovative applications that capture complex business models and processes.
Cincom ObjectStudio and Cincom® VisualWorks® share the same core libraries and foundation, which means enhancements on the foundation improve both products. This release has significant upgrades for the Cincom Smalltalk Foundation and each product.

The ObjectStudio modeling tool integrates the design of
complex business objects generation, presenting a high-level,
business-like interface that delivers user-friendly tools for working
with objects. The object modeling tool supports case analysis,
event diagramming, and CRC cards and notations, including
industry-standard UML.
Using ObjectStudio, an application moves from the design stage
to completion much faster than with traditional tools. The
ObjectStudio modeling tool can modify and maintain
applications more quickly and easily because class hierarchies
and object relationships can be arranged graphically, without
coding. Simply make changes to the model and then let the
modeling tool generate the code automatically.
Even after an application is rolled out, your job is not done. Everchanging requirements mean ever-changing code. With
ObjectStudio, any changes to the business object model are
automatically reflected in the code and vice versa. This means
that you always have access to a current business model of the
application. Using a current visual and easy-to-understand model,
your business analysts, training and support team and IT staff can
better understand your complex enterprise applications and be
productive in less time.
The ObjectStudio mapping tool provides visual, drag-and-drop
tools for linking objects to databases. The Object Relational
Mapper uses the resulting object mapping definitions to make
application connections to your database, without requiring any
SQL code to be written into the application. This allows the
developer to concentrate on objects without worrying about the
details of the database implementation. This is done
automatically.
