The document describes a visual tool developed for teaching object-oriented programming, emphasizing interactive and prototype-based learning. It outlines features like a container inspector for managing objects and an object inspector for modifying their attributes and methods. The tool has been successfully integrated into various graduate and undergraduate courses.

- 2. Summary A vehicle for learning object-oriented programming. Pilars for achieving that objective: Persistent, Prototype-based, Interactive, visual programming. It has already been used in a number graduate and undergraduate courses.
- 3. The basics of the system All object manipulation is done by means of visual aids. Programming is interactive, results are shown as soon as the programmatic counterparts for the visual aids are executed. Only code creation cannot be create through visual means, but we do actually want students to program.
- 4. The container inspector A container inspector makes it possible to manage objects inside it. Create new objects. Manage existing objects. Delete objects. Make objects persistent: Orthogonal persistence.
- 5. The container inspector An object inspector makes it possible to manage the characteristics of any object.
- 6. The object inspector An object inspector makes it possible to manage the characteristics of any object.
- 7. Adding an attribute Users can easily add attributes, and methods.
- 8. Adding a method A given method can be added, modified and deleted.
- 9. Making objects persist (1) Containers can be created, as any object.
- 10. Making objects persist (2) Next, we link the desired object.
